Where are my fellow method actor comic artists who wear the emote they're drawing on their own face in order to draw it right on their character lol - ThreadSky

And when I'm writing too.

Any creative gesture work and I'm acting the whole thing out like a weirdo

coriredford.bsky.social•20 days ago

Why would you call me out like this?

bwillettcomics.bsky.social•21 days ago

Do you also do the thing when drawing an action scene where you lean the direction your character is moving in addition to doing their expression?

Oh hi, I'm in that club! XD

jendrawscomics.bsky.social•21 days ago

I sure do, and it often means I grab the lasso tool and tilt the panel more because it's not dynamic enough lol

Unable to draw comics in any public setting for fear strangers will ask me if I'm okay 😅

patchworknovelties.bsky.social•21 days ago

not an ideal face to make in public probably no XD

The number of times I have accidentally given myself a headache by spending hours frowning intensely 😭

jendrawscomics.bsky.social•20 days ago

I have a permanent 11 between my eyebrows now for how often I draw a furrowed brow on my characters lmao

Lol it gets the job done!

iceghost.bsky.social•21 days ago

Omg me! I do the same with body language. I was on a video call with a friend the other day and they called me out for all the faces and hand movements i was doing haha

jendrawscomics.bsky.social•21 days ago

Lol it's just embedded artist behavior now - me posing in whatever arms up/back pose I drew and looking to confirm I definitely put the thumb on the correct side lol

iceghost.bsky.social•21 days ago

Haha same. If i cant ‘feel out’ a pose then I feel like i can never draw it correctly

It's our version of "drummer face" 😂

Do you also do line readings of your dialogue?

jendrawscomics.bsky.social•21 days ago

Having recently starting watching the Drumeo youtube channel I now know about drummer face, lol. I definitely read dialogue in my head all the time days apart to make sure it still "fits" the character/scene! 🫠
