My general rule of thumb is that if it doesn’t make the face look like it’s made out of Play-Doh then it wasn’t a hard enough looking punch. 😆😆

I told my comics class that you have to purposely add old people, young people, and different kinds of people because it turns out they exist.
So when you draw a crowd, even if you only draw one bug-eyed old witch it helps.

Love it when I can get the face done first try and I’m really happy with it.
Makes me feel like I won. What do you mean I have to draw the rest of the page?? I drew a good face, it’s done now.

Looking through past issues of The Family Graves with @timothybachstuff.bsky.social for reference on this last issue and love seeing panels I really enjoyed. This was great little beat moment with a once off character. 😄

Just finished teaching class on drawing the torso for @kapowschool.bsky.social Here are the demos and sketches I did during class.
I find using a simplified mapping of muscle groups the easiest way to learn the torso, especially the back
