You should make more of these tutorials! They are very helpful :3
Well… I once made a torso tutorial.
doctors hate him. one simple trick for more lifelike expressions
I wanna do more of these… >:U
Hello? Im getting into drawing and you leg so well? Any advice?
YES! Ok so disclaimer, I did not make this technique. The technique I use i learnt from Sycra on Youtube, please go check out their videos cause they are super detailed and excellent. I also learned my colour theory from their videos, seriousy good stuff. Ok so I usually start out with a hip box. How this is shaped depends on how you want ur character to look i guess but it’s roughly up turned isosceles trapezium.
from here the basic measurements are about halves not including the hip box. I tend to make the thighs the same height as the torso.
Ok so here is where Sycra’s technique comes in. They call it the lightning technique i think?? you essentially draw a curvy lightning bolt then connect it up.
line over top and adjust + feet
the actual composition of the leg i like to think of as tubes with one end smaller than the other. So the thighs are larger at the top and thinner towards the knee. The shin is a more pronounced curve though. You can also cross two lines over as shown and use that as a guideline.
I always use the lightning technique for legs from profile since it works best. The back of the shin is curved while the front is straight unlike the thigh which seems to be soft and curvy all over aha
I hope this makes some kind of sense??????

Upon request someone asked for an anatomy tutorial! I kept it fairly general but if anyone wants something more specific, I’m happy to make a more of them :D
Could you do a tutorial on how to draw body hair? like chest hair, arm hair, facial hair? I can never make it look right : (
here’s a short little one:
I’m sure there’s better ways out there, but this is how I do it!
Very happy to finally post my second tutorial ! You guys have been so kind the last time and I really hope this helps some of you in your art path 🙇♀️
Hii i'm really really sorry if i bother you with this, i just love your art and you inspired me to draw. I have been struggling with shadows and colours. Do you have any advices? For example, when i'm painting the hair idk how to make the shadow, should i paint it with a dark colour? I am really confused when it comes to curly hair or Even straight hair. I mean i know that i have to use a colour palette but idk how to paint it. idk the technics sorry for this and my bad english :(
Hello and thank you! I hope these help… Using a multiply layer is a really good thing for easy shadows! I usually use greenish blue, purple, or red. I drew some easy ways to draw hair too!
Your English is very good!! I hope you have a lovely day :)
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!
