Catch at the platform edge
A courier lunges toward the viewer to catch a falling parcel, one arm extended and coat trailing backward. Black ink with varied line weight, light screentones, diagonal speed lines, generous white space, no text.
The parcel provides a clear goal for the exaggerated perspective.
Before you publish
- Exact line widths and white-space percentages are guidance, not measured output.
- Extreme foreshortening can distort hands and limbs.
Questions about this template
- Should everything have speed lines?
- No. Keep the face and key object clear so motion marks do not erase the focal point.
- How do I use this starter?
- Open the preset, adapt the direction to your story, then create and refine a draft. This is a creation starter rather than a blank download.
- Will every requested detail appear?
- Directions guide generation. Check composition, repeated characters and lettering; revise any detail that does not read clearly.
