OKAY HERE'S A THING. I love art, I love learning about it, I love to art. What I don't love- is the notion that people have to pay $$$ to learn how to art. Don't get me wrong, I'm an art college student and I'm clearly okay with going into tons of student loan debt in order to learn and improve. But I feel like that makes learning feel like a job or a chore and that kinda takes the fun out of the whole learning process. Which makes learning art, not so fun, art less fun = EVERYBODY HAVE BAD TIME.
Sooo.. sometimes, rarely, I'll make a tutorial, but I only share it with like a handful of people because
1. I'm selfconscious af and I don't word good.
2. I also think my art is poop and I'm not qualified to make tutorials/ give art advice.

But some people seem to think otherwise and here we are.
Here is quick, simple tutorial showing line of action (I also included negative space because that helps some people.)

And of course a disclaimer, I'm not a professional and I'm still learning a lot about art myself, so I'm not sure how helpful this will be, but I hope that it helps someone in some way~

-- LINE OF ACTION: the general flow of movement in a character or composition. In my 3 goats it follows the curve of the spine, from head to tail, but line of action can be anywhere really as long as there's a smooth flow.
To clarify, the line of action makes the drawing more believeable and gives it life. It shows energy, movement, life. Even if the figure isn't moving, even if it's a landscape, photograph, still-life, whatever it should still have a line of action.
TLDR; this is an invisible line that the viewer follows when they see your drawing. Typically the eye will go left to right when looking at something, so your composition should follow through to create a sense of movement. This will give more life to your drawing and make it look less static and stale.

-- PUSH/PULL: I think there's a better term for this lol but this helps with the line of action and aids in the movement and general flow. Here I used it in 2 ways: to support the line of action with the curved flow of movement, and to show weight, such as in the goat's hind legs when rearing up to support his weight.

-- NEGATIVE SPACE: I included this because some artists learn better when they see forms and draw from using the surrounding negative space. This shows the empty space surrounding my goats and how it can show movement within. Such as the sloping of the goat's back or the space between it's legs. Note the empty space of the horns and back of the leaping goat and how this supports it's movement.

I might be willing to do more tutorials/ art tips if there's enough requests for it. Again, I don't know how helpful my tips are but if anyone has any questions or requests for how to draw things just ask and I'll do my best to help! <3
