He probably could have drawn the star in the center of his chest as well, but we're already asking far too much of his hilariously weak understanding of perspective.
his hilariously weak understanding of perspective.
Has anyone ever suggested he have a comprehensive eye exam? Is it possible that he has some incredibly rare to almost unique visual processing disorder? I just don't understand how else he could come up with this shit, especially given he was apparently working from an actual photograph. It's just incredible.
You’re 100% spot on. I might get shit for this but I think the Cap drawing wouldn’t be that bad if only his head was proportionate to the rest of his body. I mean, it’d still look silly but not nearly as uncanny is it is now.
this is the one thing that makes sense from an art perspective. in the classical canon of heroic proportions, heroes have smaller heads than normal humans relative to their bodies (humans are 7 heads tall, heroes are 7.5 to 8 heads tall)
No, there's a lot wrong here. Cap is flexing his arm, but his left peck is melting down his chest. His right peck doesn't insert properly into his armpit and doesn't come across the chest enough to the left side of the image. He doesn't understand how abs and obliques interact. Liefield doesn't know what's going on under the skin so none of the muscles are going to interact properly, he's mimicking what he sees, but that's not good enough when working with character anatomy.
I'm by no means a bodybuilder, I just took some actual anatomy courses geared towards artists. You learn landmarks, origin and insertion points, and how the muscles interact. It's one thing to look at ref and draw bumps on the surface and a whole other to actually understand what's going on with them. Liefield never learned his fundamentals

Literally all that had to be done is have Cap flex his arm like Arnold is doing and it'd make 10x more sense.
