How To Make Your Own Character Base

[Eddie]

Actually, in your tutorial, the S-shaped spine is pretty useless. You could have made the body shape right away or just made a straight line, since I didn't see it's form help you do the body. Please correct me if I'm wrong. (Yes, I know the spine is shaped like that.)

Other than that, nice tutorial

Oh, and when someone starts picking on the smallest mistakes, take it as a success ;D

You're actually quite right, but I always see it as good practise to put the S shape in there, for any future development in art. Thanks for the information on that, I just attempted it with a straight line, and it does work nicely. However, the S shape does help slightly. This is primarily because you can pinpoint more exactly where the shoulder line should be, aswell as the bottom of the chest, etc. With a straight line, I'd have to say 'three quarters of the way up' or 'half the way up'.

Once again, cheers for the feedback, it's what I live for.
