Thumb in position to push a detonator button held in the fingers. I thought it was unnatural. Just goes to show you some of the worst advice you can get comes from experts. A boxing glove shows you where a thumb goes when you make a fist. In any fight, always try a Kirby judo chop first.<br /><br />Kirby's shorthand for muscle striation is never going to be about contours and precious accuracy about volume. It's there as rhythm for the figure's acting job at the moment.<br /><br />I'm about to pick up The art of the Simon and Kirby studio at the library tomorrow. Maybe I'll do a little Kirby channeling tomorrow.MrGoodson2https://www.blogger.com/profile/02329640961760572269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19949517.post-57346066569551466332017-01-03T18:23:56.566-08:002017-01-03T18:23:56.566-08:00Wrong is the wrong word.

I think now that there is a lot right about some of the idiosyncrasies. Kriby's fists are accurate if you move the wrist up a little from what you'd expect. We already discussed on this very blog whether tucking the thumb under or on leaving it on the side is a valid fist. Ever see Kirby's furrowed eyebrow close-up? I have seen people, in the right light, look just like it. I have covers to the Kirby Collector magazine where Kirby colored prototype New Gods. Where you would expect a squiggle is where the color breaks to a different tone to look shiny. I think Kirby thought all his costumes were somewhat shiny.<br /><br />Fake but accurate.<br /><br />I haven't figured out the knees yet.BDMontaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10668132947298479801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19949517.post-80902457276913266202017-01-02T20:51:17.560-08:002017-01-02T20:51:17.560-08:00Here was a comment I stuck in the thread "Thi...Here was a comment I stuck in the thread "This archive seems to showcase a lot of botched hand drawing. But I think they show off lots of fun, expressive hands for the most part.<br /><br />I've come to one realization about Kirby. He's not about drawing the human figure, he's about drawing HIS action figure. Just like sketching a toy that joints very simply and is made of big simplified shapes vs anatomy and detail."MrGoodson2https://www.blogger.com/profile/02329640961760572269noreply@blogger.com
