Thanks so much for your ask! I’ve meant to do a tutorial like this for a long time. This is the way that I draw big girls, though it’s quite a short and basic tutorial. I hope it helps!
the “area of gain” part was pretty much taken directly from -here-, a VERY informative and helpful tutorial. Here’s a couple of tutorials that I think are pretty good: link and link.
i was like “that area of weight gain chart looks a lot like mine” and then
This Friday is the 13th, so what better way to celebrate than to hang out and watch Jared Padalecki in Friday the 13th and Jensen Ackles in My Bloody Valentine? We’ll be getting together in Vancouver Washington for dinner, drinks, games, and of course pleanty of horror.
Detailed event information as well as RSVP count over HERE on the group Facebook page. See you there!
This is the best thing ever! Just by this speech you know the people chose correctly 🙌
Donald Sutherland loves the chance he was given to play President Snow. He understands just how much of a monster the character is and it shows in his performance. He wrote a THREE PAGE LETTER about President Snow to Gary Ross you can read it here or listen to Sutherland read it on the first Hunger Games dvd. It’s really amazing what insight he has into the character and it just makes me love his performance even more.
Not only that, but Secretariat utilized something called a double-suspension transverse gallop that allowed him to carry sprint speed over distances of more than half a mile. In a normal, single-suspension transverse gallop there is only one moment where all four hooves leave the ground
in a double-suspension transverse gallop there are two
Secretariat had a stride longer than any other horse, but he also ran elastically, and was able to develop an extraordinary amount of downward-and-backward thrust, thus achieving double-suspension. He ran straighter and more efficiently than any other horse.
I’M SO INTRIGUED *gets pencil and paper*
Do you think his incredibly elastic gait contributed to his double-suspension gallop? What factors contribute to a horse preferring double-suspension over single-suspension? Is it a genetic behavior? Is it influenced by physical factors (IE Secretariat’s extraordinary gait)? Or is it purely a fluke when a horse uses the double-suspension gallop? What other horses did this? WHERE CAN I READ MORE????? *HEAVY BREATHING*
The elasticity refers to the flexibility of his back and loin conformation. The muscles of the pelvis, rib cage, and spine form a flexible and powerful spring that is the biomechanical root of speed. Secretariat had increased ability to coil the loin, and with it, increased elastic up-and-down flexibility of the back. The more flexible the back is, the longer the stride.
It is this long stride, and the incredibly powerful downward-and-backward thrust of his hind legs that allowed him to have a double-suspension transverse gallop. I don’t know of any other horses that have achieved double suspension, but it has been speculated that if we had more footage of Man O’ War we would see that he ran at a double-suspension transverse gallop as well.
This is so cool!
Horses are one of the trickiest animals I’ve found to animate because there are so many strict rules about the way they place their feet at different gaits and if you get it wrong they start to look like a completely different ungulate, like a deer or antelope or something.
Oh my gosh this is amazing! I had no idea! His whole gallop was unique! He didn’t only run faster but more effectively fantastic! His jockeys must have known too this is sooooo cool thanks for sharing evion!
In this particular case, otherwise known as “grease traps”. We’ve also seen this hazard at industrial sites in the form of water-filled basements left behind where buildings were torn down and the rubble removed. Especially insidious were those where the cement ceiling over the basement was left intact except for places where holes already existed or were knocked through it during the process of demolition. If you’re not careful, one moment you’re fine and the next you’re falling into a ten foot deep water-filled pit.
Africa is not a country. It’s an entire continent filled with an amazing, unparalleled diversity of languages, peoples and nations, some of the latter among the most heavily urbanized places on the entire planet.
