i love this but i dont know how to do this

hoW

For those wondering about HOW to do this, here’s a short explanation according to me:

Drawing A to Drawing B:
-the most obvious change is the exaggeration of the line of motion in the character.  

In Drawing B the line of motion is much more pronounced, creating more drama and movement to the whole composition

-The arms are open wider, showing more confidence and exuberance in the character, exaggerating their emotions so they can be more clearly read without having to look to the face for emotional cues.

-the legs are wider apart, adding to the aforementioned confidence but also giving the character a solid foundation, visually speaking.

-The head is tilted back and overlapped by the chest, adding a touch of dynamic perspective to the drawing.

Drawing B to Drawing C: 
-Most obvious change is to zoom in on the character.  Character framing is just as important as what the character is doing.  Zooming in can help infensify emotions.  this shot is ALL about this character and what they’re feeling.
-Because of the zooming in, the arms/hands would have gotten lost, so instead of making the canvas wider, the artist has elected to rotate the character slightly, bringing a dynamic angle to things and more intensity to the close shot.
-While the character is more upright in this shot compared to Drawing B, in Drawing C the chest still slightly overlaps the neck, preserving the feeling of being slightly below the character (putting them in a position of power relative to the viewer), which helps maintain confidence and power in the character.
-the chest is exaggerated to carry the majority of the body’s line of action so even though you cannot see the legs, our brains are able to fill in the gap and envision that line of action.
-The cropping/framing of the character allows for a more interesting composition/negative shapes created by the positive (character) on the negative (background), creating more visual interest as well as a circular motion to the composition through the arms, across the face to the negative space for the eyes to rest in before dropping to the hand in the background and back through the composition again.

okay but klance falling for the little things in each other

Lance noticing how Keith will only open himself up to those he knows best. How he can smile around everyone, but only him and the other paladins get to see the real one. The one that’s uninhibited and natural, not forced and polite. Lance notices how he always tends to smirk before it pulls into a grin before it pulls into a smile.

Keith noticing how Lance never stops sharing. How he shares his food with the mice or his ideas with the other paladins. How he always knows at least a little something about the situation at hand and can share some advice. How whenever he smiles or laughs, it’s always along with others. Never at them or about them, but instead shares in their joy, shares in their laughter.

Both of them noticing how much the other tends to brush up against them. How little pats on the shoulder slowly become squeezes. How those evolve into one-armed hugs, and how those move into arms slung around each other. How eventually, whenever they’re in the room with each other, they tend to gravitate towards each other, some part of them always coming to touch the other. 

How their hearts start to race when their knuckles brush against each other. Their smiles tend to be accompanied by blushing cheeks. Their eyes are filled with more than a sense of friendship and comfort. Their smiles grow into something different when their alone, something only for the other to see. It’s sweet and soft, fond and unadulterated. It’s so much and so much more.

okok so this drawing by @hardlynotnever and the latest chapter of The Coxcomb by @zanimez really inspired me to do a circus au, in which the Mcclains own a circus and Lance is THE star of the show
