could you do a body tutorial please? i always get stuck on the shoulders once ive drawn the head because they always look so board? i’m sure id struggle with the rest of the body too but once i fail with shoulders i usually give up and just draw creepy floating heads...
ooofok so
I’m gonna make u a shoulder tutorial cause a full body tutorial would be absolutely gigantic.ok so u got ur head right, i’m going for a straight forwards view point on this so
there they arenext is the neck, i typically make this thinner than the jawline and bring the length down so that the chin falls about half way between the jaw and the slope of the shoulders.
next i draw the slope of the shoulder on both sides and connect them with a horizontal line. The horizontal line is where you’d put the collar bones.I draw the slopes so that they extend past the ears. I tend to angle them at 45 degrees when standing normally.
I use this bit to quickly sketch in the collar bones and the tendons (?)the actual shoulder joint though i draw as round with a kind of, rounded corner????? both sides are p much even on each joint. I draw the joint as roughly the same width and the shoulder slope.I am god awful at maths so this bit doesn’t add up but it kinda ends up looking as if it’s split into thirds.
as u rotate the shoulders they over lap each other but the basic elements are still there, just shortened or behind something.
i’m not great at explaining shoulders all that well but i hope this helps at least somewhat.
so no one really asked for it and it doesnt have particularly anything to do with demitale but i made a little sketche tutorial on how i draw clothing as well as arm muscles u-u hope this is helpful to you guys as well!
Please share this!!!!! As you resident vitiligan and fellow artist I am here to educate people on how to properly create a character with vitiligo and other things to keep in mind about the disorder.
Only 1% of the entire world’s population has vitiligo but I see so many artists making characters with it when they sometimes don’t even know what vitiligo is and pass it off as “skin pigmentation”. Like— what does that even mean??? XD
It’s not an aesthetic and it won’t get you “diversity points” so stop romanticizing vitiligo!
disclaimer: I am east asian. if anyone who is not white sees anything wrong with my phrasing, inaccuracies, or insensitivity, or something I missed, please feel free to add on. I’m just one person with one perspective; none of what I say should be taken as The Singular way to draw an Asian character. if you havent done so already, please take the effort to expand your view of Asian culture outside this one tutorial.
if a white person reblogs this and adds something stupid I’m going to bite and kick you like a wild animal
How do you draw unkempt hair in a more simple style? I have a character who the most he does is probably brush his fingers through it but I can't draw him not looking like he has nicely styled wavy locks.
Using a variety of hair textures and abstract hair shapes can help create the messy effect you want;
Here’s an example for hair textures, The left is a full head of curly hair; on the right I made some generals shapes on the base to guide where the textures would change, this could be as smile and complex as you want!
If your character reference doesn’t allow for different hair textures, you can always try building abstract or conflicting shapes out of the hair itself. Long hair which is messy generally has lots of fly-aways you can shape, as well as crude edges or bunching together at random. Short hair is more diverse in my opinion, it depends on the texture and the cut, but I would try to group part of the hair together at random, and direct the shapes to give a sense of asymmetry to the silhouette. The simpler your style needs to be, the fewer general the shapes you may want to build into the body of the hair.
I hope this gives you some fun ideas!

Do you have an tips or tricks for 3/4 view? Ever time I draw it the eyes and nose come out wonky.
If youre having trouble you can always grid it out to see what isnt lining up! the nose should fall on the centerline and the eyes/mouth/etc should all be parallel. Unfortunately I dont have any wierd tricks or anything but here’s a quick thing ;;
