I need some Kp-Style Help

[VICIOUS]

Right now, i think that if i just got into the habit of drawing her head larger, everything else would fit into place >.>

[Levelord]

well it helps to know that Kp and shego are approx 4 heads tall in the show.

[VICIOUS]

4? i was thinking 5 actually. i'll draw up a second pic then

[VICIOUS]

These two took just under an hour to draw, as you can tell, i'm having a Really, really hard time with it.. >.<

[Scoutcraft Piratess]

I really like the faces, but something bugs me about Kim's feet--a little too large in scale.

[VICIOUS]

i think the whole Neck, Shoulder bit is too big, actually

[shallow15]

Also, I think you might be making their waists thicker than usually represented. Right now, they have "real world" proportions, but in the show Kim and Shego's waists are ludicrously thin. Something you might want to consider if you're going for an show style.

[Scoutcraft Piratess]

I kinda think the proportions are darling here.

[shallow15]

Oh no question, but Vicious said he's looking for more an actual show-esque style.

[VICIOUS]

They may look good, but darn near everything i draw looks good But yeah, i'd like to be able to recreate my own little sequences Once i master this simplistic style, i can toss out kp fan art 2x as fast!

[VICIOUS]

Grr.. This is like, blatantly 4 heads tall >.o It looks so.. Semi-Chibi.

[Slyrr]

I don't think the four-head thing is absolute - I think he said 'approximately'. I've measured some of the models sheets (from the model sheet thread), and Kim is closer to 4 and a half heads. Like you, I almost reflexively drew her at five heads tall. Shego's head could stand to shrink a bit, I think.

They may also have revised their model sheet a smidge for the new season to factor in that Kim is a senior, more matured, and presumably slightly taller....

But yeah, in all the model sheets and pics, Kim has tiny feet. So does Shego and even Drakken.

Please don't fall into the trap of 'I can't use show references, because it's cheating!'. At first, you need that boost, and as long as you state a reference is used,if it's blatant, then - yeah.

The style is hard to grasp, I'm still trying to get it right >.<;

[VICIOUS]

Drakken was easy, so i think it's just the females *shrug* From here on out, it looks like practice

[Sarah]

... Try Ron. Just - hazard into something. Try heaps of different characters.

[VICIOUS]

I suppose i should, but i'm not doing Josh. for some reason, i've never really like josh.. >.o

[Nueva Paz]

It's funny, normally guys are harder to draw for me, but in KP style they're easier.

All I can say is try copying official pics. I do that all the time to learn how to draw certain characters. I just make loose, fast copies, just to get a better handle on the style. You don't have to post them up or anything, or if you do make sure you say you copied them. Some people might think it's cheating, but it's really a perfectly viable way of learning to draw something.

I looked at the model sheets, and it shows Kim as being 5 heads tall. If not 5 1/2, including hair...

[Sarah]

Dang, my eyes are bad. Well, the thing about that is... *runs away, but runs into a wall*
