Hi Fer! I Simply Love Your Blog And Tutorials So Much, But I Was Wondering On How You Draw Masculine

DeviantART – ArandaDill

another art tutorial post :) this time it’s for rainbow effects

To celebrate a follower milestone on ig and also so I don’t have to keep a million references open whenever I draw these characters, I’ve made semi-model sheets on all of them, including their general build, face shape, expressions, and fashion styles.

Another comment I’ll make is that Julian and Lucio have quite similar faces, but Lucio is very sharp while Julian’s rounded out.

Each character tends to have a reoccuring line shape throughout their design:

Asra - Semicircles/curves

Nadia - Straight vs flowing lines

Julian - Loose waves

Muriel - Blocky or jagged

Portia - Bubbly waves

Lucio - Sharp and spiky

I hope this can be useful :D

Here’s a little Art Tip about a very specific part of the body. Pop a squat and see how it looks on you.

If you don't mind me asking, how do you draw faces and heads in general?

HELLO YES IM SO SORRY I TOOK FOREVER. I’VE SORTA COVERED A LITTLE BIT OF THIS, SO I’LL LINK MY OTHER “TUTORIALS” AT THE END. HERE WE GO

Okay so I hope that helped!!! Obviously these vary based on the design, race, and age of your character, but it’s all rooted in the same basic,,, tHiNg.

Here’s the nose and eye tutorial (just skip the hands 😬):

How do I choose which details to draw in non-photorealistic art? I feel so tempted to try and draw everything, but then it looks too busy and cluttered. So many illustrators seem to have a balance of realistic proportions and stuff but not as many details

In semi-realistic styles, you have to choose what to keep and what to simplify. My advice would be to keep detail in the areas of focus (the face and the hands are good points of focus). Within the face, you also have smaller areas of focus, such as the eyes, nose, and mouth. 

If you’re having trouble with drawing TOO much detail, try this exercise:

1) Try to draw the body/object/face in as few lines as possible while still looking like the original. 

2) Then, figure out which parts look weird without the detail (the face, and eyes especially, will probably look flat or fake) and add in as much as needed. 

Also! Don’t be afraid to look at those illustrators you think are doing this well and studying where they put how much detail in their drawings. You can learn a lot from observing other artists!

morty how the heck do you draw top heavy bodies (kinda like kuins) because its hell 2 me

OK SO THIS IS LATE AND IM BAD AT EXPLAINING SO I JUST SCREENSHOT’D MY PROCESS

FIRST, GET YOURSELF SOME MOOD MUSIC

BASE SKETCH: I don’t usually draw what’s in red there, but this is your basic inverted triangle shape. Basically, as long as you make sure the shoulders create an exaggerated silhouette that highlights the waist, you’re doing the top heavy thing right. Generally, you don’t wanna shrink the waist too much or else it looks REALLY weird, so if you want to exaggerate the shape more, try to focus more on the arms and shoulders. Keep the hips narrow.

LINING SHIT. Add some core muscles to actually support all that up top. I like making the pecs particularly pointy just to drive home the triangle thing.

It’s ya boi
