@AngelinaKizz Hi, actually I finished the „how to draw everything“ class already. But I think I can not actually draw everything immediately right after the class^^ It will take a while of practice or maybe the problem lays somewhere else.
My character is imagined as a kind of stone-troll creature, so actually looking like a mossy stone. But its characteristics are completely different. It is meant to act like flowing water, dynamic, fluid and balancing the elements of nature. I am wondering if its possible to give a static and absolutely non-flowing thing like a stone fluid gestures, or if I should choose something like a plant, which is actually bendable and flowing in the wind and stuff. But maybe it only needs more time to experiment because I have already seen concepts with for example an elephant doing yoga and something like that xD Nobody would expect this kind of movement for this kind of heavy animal. So how could I translate the characteristics and movement of fluid water to a stiff stone or maybe a accumulation of stones? Oh, this just came right now into my mind! When it would be more then one stone, the group of them could be achieve the needed agility and movement in combination. Mh I need to think about that and play around with the idea of one creature consists of a combination of more than one element. Actually neither does a human body, there are connecting and bonding elements like veins, skin layer and so on. Maybe I could translate this with a combination of nature elements, reaching the same affect and breathes movement and life into the stiff character. Like basic stone elements, connected/bounded with plant routs and stuff to hold the stones together.. Maybe this could work Oo Haha, I am doing self talk, but it helps so much to write something down and to actually communicate that in a way with someone or somewhere, even the solution will not come from others but found by expressing and formulating the problem.
Maybe I am doing a little hard with this for a beginner, but this kind of stuff is actually motivating and challenging me. And I am not that real beginner, drawing-wise, I am just new in this illustration world. I do draw my whole life, but without nearly any direction so far.
Thanks for your input, I will look at that figure drawing class, but I am doing figure drawing already for a while, this is not real challenging for me (with reference). Challenging are the imaginative ideas, which I can not reference. But mostly some little thing always will be helpful and not heard yet, so I will check that out!
If I could come up with some new sketches for my stone druid, I try to post this in here
