Please email fiasco@MEGATONMAN.com for information. Published by Fiasco Comics Inc., PO Box 64, Wexford, PA 15090. www.MEGATONMAN.com In our methodical approach to building up your confidence as an artist, we're going to tackle something simple at first—our friend the stick figure. Go ahead, draw one right now! A reasonable stick figure at this point should contain a midline for the spine, two arms, two legs, and a circle for the head. Fingers for hands and lines for feet are optional, but being the conscientious craftsman that you are, I know you'll want to include them. Now draw your stick figure running, jumping, falling, walking, running, climbing—see how many poses you can come up with. The record is 4096! Don't worry about niceties like exact proportions at this point. Getting your point across is everything. We'll be getting fancier a little later on. The Stick Figure

Please email fiasco@MEGATONMAN.com for information. Published by Fiasco Comics Inc., PO Box 64, Wexford, PA 15090. www.MEGATONMAN.com Okay, so anybody can draw a simple stick figure. But the point I'm trying to get across here is that, more importantly, everyone recognizes what a stick figure represents—a person! Isn't that amazing? Cartoonists are able to communicate even with the most elementary of pictures. Show your drawings to your friends and see if they can tell what your stick figures are doing. If they misidentify some of your drawings, that's okay. Many poses will be open to interpretation. Just compliment them on their keen perception and head back to the drawing board! Conveying specific actions and even emotional states of mind with a few quick lines—and I dare say as few lines as possible—is an important first step towards drawing fully realized figures. If you can accomplish that with your limited stick figures, think of what you can accomplish with even more tools at your disposal.

Please email fiasco@MEGATONMAN.com for information. Published by Fiasco Comics Inc., PO Box 64, Wexford, PA 15090. www.MEGATONMAN.com A More Sophisticated Stick Figure Let's use a slightly more sophisticated stick figure, one that is shaped a little more like an adult person. As before, don't be overly concerned with correct proportions right now. Stay focussed on depicting actions--leaping, swinging, golfing, rowing, sitting, etc. We've added a line across the shoulders and a line across the hips, as well as definite elbow and knee joints. Don't worry about making your sticks perfectly straight lines, either—in fact, slightly curvy lines are more human. And don't even worry about getting the curves right, either—just go with what- ever feels right. Again, test your drawings out on others. If people can tell what activities your stick figures are involved in, you're doing great!

Please email fiasco@MEGATONMAN.com for information. Published by Fiasco Comics Inc., PO Box 64, Wexford, PA 15090. www.MEGATONMAN.com Our new, sleeker stick figure seems to lend itself to more graceful and athletic themes. But try comical situations as well. You may even use some of your 4096 poses you came up with for the shorter, stubbier stick figure and see if they can be translated to the more sophisticated model. Your friends may tell you they like your older, funnier work better—don't be discouraged! Keep right on drawing.

Please email fiasco@MEGATONMAN.com for information. Published by Fiasco Comics Inc., PO Box 64, Wexford, PA 15090. www.MEGATONMAN.com The 3 Basic Solids It's time to let you in on a little secret. The stick figure makes such a convincing person because it represents, in a minimalistic way, what all people have got inside them—a skeleton! The spine, the arms, the legs—all are represented in a simpli- fied way in a stick figure. With the skeleton in mind, we can now add three shapes to our stick figures to make them more real, one of which we already have: the skull (the head), the rib cage (the chest), and the pelvis (hip bone). These are the three largest bony masses in the body. Use simple ovals for right now.

Please email fiasco@MEGATONMAN.com for information. Published by Fiasco Comics Inc., PO Box 64, Wexford, PA 15090. www.MEGATONMAN.com After you've drawn the spine, arms and legs to establish the action of your stick figure, proceed to add the chest, hips and head to begin flesh- ing things out. See how quickly things are taking shape? Keep the focus on the action, first and foremost. If your drawings don't communicate the story your trying to tell, all the ovals in the world aren't going to help you. Build on a solid foundation: action and emotion!

Please email fiasco@MEGATONMAN.com for information. Published by Fiasco Comics Inc., PO Box 64, Wexford, PA 15090. www.MEGATONMAN.com The Main Line of Action The first thing you need to determine is the main line of action for your figure. For all intents and purposes, that is synonymous with the spine. The first line you should put down on paper should be that line—it deter- mines the entire thrust for the rest of the figure. Limbs and even the head branch off from that. Notice how the three basic solids—chest, skull and pelvis—relate to each other differently depending upon the arc of the spine. Continue the sweep of your pose into the arms and legs. Keep your figures moving! It's important to never lose sight of your stick figure, because it represent the skeleton. And where bone goes, flesh will surely follow!

Please email fiasco@MEGATONMAN.com for information. Published by Fiasco Comics Inc., PO Box 64, Wexford, PA 15090. www.MEGATONMAN.com Twisting and Turning Along the Spine The spine conveys the main action of a figure because it's highly flexible. The back bends, twists and turns at the waist, and the head bobs all around—and it's all thanks to our friend the spine. Don't draw your figures with a single solid body mass. Move the should in relation to the hips, get your figures to twist and turn. Get your figures to boogie! Draw several figures where the shoulders are twisting and turning in relation to the hips. Make use of the flexi- bility of the spine.

See if they can't sense a new mobility in your work. “Say, aren't these figures twisting and turning, a-writhing and a-wriggling? I think they are! I still like your older, funnier work!” Oh, well.

Published by Fiasco Comics Inc., PO Box 64, Wexford, PA 15090. www.MEGATONMAN.com Fleshing Out the Figure With Ovals With a solid grasp of the all- important stick figure, we're ready to add the neck, shoul- ders, arms, legs, hands a feet to our figures. Use simple ovals for now. The oval is an all-purpose organic shape which can be molded into just about any muscle or body mass. Don’t get bogged down in accurate anatomy. Just get the basic feel of the figure for now. You’ll be studying anatomy later, and be able to apply that knowledge to your steadily growing understand- ing of the human figure!

Muscles aren’t symmetrical balloon, but curvy, tapered shapes that dovetail into one another. But perhaps we’re getting a bit ahead of ourselves. There’s another impor- tant consideration I’d like to address at this point, and it’s establishing a solid sense of the third dimension in your figures.

Just use variations of the three simple geometric shapes at left—sphere, cube and cylinder—and you’ll be amazed at how your figures fill up space! Sphere Cube Cylinder

Conceiving of the head as an egg is good for starters, but it will only get you so far. A light bulb shape is a bit better, and a wheel of cheese is interesting, too. There are two main parts to the head: the skull and the face. The skull is somewhat like a sphere with the sides flattened (like a wheel of cheese, while the face is triangular. The Head The wonderful thing about using simple geometric shapes is that now you can instantly see which way the head is turning, and whether it’s tilting up or down. And you haven’t added all that many lines to your arse- nal. It’s knowing where to put those lines which is key. We’ll be extending this principle to the entire body, so for now we won’t do more than suggest the position of a few of the face’s features. Eye line

Please email fiasco@MEGATONMAN.com for information. Published by Fiasco Comics Inc., PO Box 64, Wexford, PA 15090. www.MEGATONMAN.com The Torso in 3D It’s popular in artistic circles to think of the chest and hips as two boxes. It’s also equally in vogue to think of is as two cylindrical shapes, or even 3D ovals. Personally, I’ve settled on a hybrid set of shapes of my own devising— a box for the hips, and a chest that is a cross between a beehive and a Chinese lampshade. That’s the best I can explain it. Whatever shapes you decide on—and it’s important because these are two of our three basic solids here—the main thing is to keep the spine in mind. Notice how the geometric shapes really make clear the twisting, turn- ing and bending of the torsos below. There’s really no ambiguity as to which way the figure is moving. And such clarity only adds to the impact of your figures, their actions, and the stories they’re involved in.

First, draw the main line of action, or the spine, to determine the main thrust of your pose, Then continue with the limbs of your figure as stick lines. Only now, flesh out your three basic solids (head, chest and hips) with geometric shapes to make your figures come alive in three dimen- sions. Work with it!

Published by Fiasco Comics Inc., PO Box 64, Wexford, PA 15090. www.MEGATONMAN.com Use the 'stick' limb as the center line, or core, of your cylinders. Both cylinders and spheres are types of 3-dimensional circles. By using them on our figures’ limbs, they become 3-dimensional. Like their 2-dimensional cousin, the oval, they can be endlessly tapered and distorted into all sorts of organic shapes, like those found on the human body. Don’t be afraid to bend and curve your cylinders, and again, don’t be concerned with anatomical accuracy at this point. The main thing is getting those limbs to bend and fold through 3-dimen- sional space, right off the page! Cylinders for Limbs Notice how the flat the stick figure above is. In the fleshed out 3D figure, there’s no question as to which parts of the body are closer to us, and which are further away.

Published by Fiasco Comics Inc., PO Box 64, Wexford, PA 15090. www.MEGATONMAN.com This is really important—if your drawings aren’t beginning to feel powerful at this point, no amount of lighting, shading, or gilding the lily is going to help. Get these principles down pat before going further! Cylinders, spheres and cubes really give these figures the feeling of thrusting towards us (or away from us), achieving a 3D sense simply and effec- tively. They closely resemble crude wire frames of 3D computer programs.
