A 'comic' sketch

[Tuomas]

Hi. I started sketching with my new sketchbook, basically trying to draw a couple of walking dudes.

The problem is, I'm not really comfortable with drawing them from behind and I seem to have forgotten some of the anatomy rules...

Here's what I got, it's scanned, so it's a bit low contrast, but bear with me.



Basically the conversation in the bulles goes like this:

"Isn't it funny how it's so much easier to draw people from the front..."
"...than from the behind?"

And you see I've got a lot of problems with the behind view. Because it sucked, I never really got into inkin the lines. Also, it was 1:30 am and I realised I wasn't going to get it right, no matter how much I wiggled the guy's legs. Is there any hints/crits you could give me? I know it's just a sketch, but I'd like to get my angles right fromt he beginning.

i suggest you give  figure drawing for all it's worth a read. It's in public domain so you can find it all over the internet. It's a long read but it's worth it.

I can hook you up with a scanned copy if needed.
