People seem to be stiffer than animals. Animals are basically huge S curves everywhere, but people have those awkward shoulders and neck-to-head placement and weird hips. I want to draw people better, is there a way to make people feel more streamlined like animals?

learn anatomy and stop drawing everything like salamanders

Maybe I should have clarified, what I mean is, can people also "flow" when drawing them? I already learned anatomy, what I would like to learn is how to draw people and have it feel more natural.

Yeah, you just have to start with a action line and a gesture.

Are you actually drawing animals with the same attention to anatomy that your people have? I feel if you were you'd be running into a similar problem.

The solution is to pay attention to anatomy, but be willing to bend it a little bit to get the movement that you want. Anatomy is important but when anatomy overrides movement, you get a stiff drawing.

Not OP, but could someone post some drawings with good movement?

This is actually a really good point. And to answer your question, no, I haven't been drawing animals with the same attention to anatomy.

> Yeah, you just have to start with a action line and a gesture.

Could you post an example of this?
