Doodle Tuesday presents: FIGHT SCENE!
Okay, I hear you-- you're sitting around your patio looking at all this snow and you suddenly want to draw two guys beating the snot out of each other, that's only natural. Here are a few tips to help you out:
 |
EXAMPLE A |
In Example A we have two guys engaging in fisticuffs. This is the real way two people fight. I studied boxing for many years, I know of what I speak. The problem with this version is it lacks drama. Just because it's real doesn't mean it's right.
 |
EXAMPLE B |
This take is more exciting while maintaining realism. The change here is the Point of View-- we no see it from behind one of the fighters and we can almost feel him taking the punch.
 |
EXAMPLE C |
The final example is exaggerated in a more Comic Book way-- the character to the left is almost getting his block knocked off and the one on the right has his arm in a position that wouldn't actually work but it does add drama. Either B or C is a good choice, and it's merely an artistic decision as to which one would be used.
