i blame ffxiv for me drawing long necks, a lot of my art came from me playing back in 2015 and the necks are super fucking long in that game because they have to accommodate for neckwear like necklaces/chokers and shit but they are SO LONG!!
my art has suffered bc i would use my ffxiv characters as reference and while i’ve tried not having the necks so long in recent art i’m a bad judge of it
especially because i have no neck in real life i’m not sure how long they’re supposed to be, people seem to have necks of all sizes in real life
https://youtube.com/shorts/CcJTMlaO3x8i know there’s anatomy tricks like shoulders should be two or three heads wide or the length between two eyes should be one eye’s length
but is there something like that for necks? i feel like it’s just too variable or i’ve never heard of it at least
