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 ;; 

Very happy to finally post my third tutorial! Thank you so much for your overwhelming support of my last tutorial, I am so happy it was useful for you guys 🙇‍♀️. I feel like this topic was harder to explain so feel free to ask me some questions if you want!

Like last time, I really hope this helps some of you in your art path 🙌

Eh, just a lil’ something. 

“ Where we’re going we don’t need proper proportions “

Sorry for the disorder, but I wanted to ask if you could do a tutorial on lineless art! By the way, nice art!!!

thanks! lineless art it is, then

i start with the sketch, obviously. since you won’t have the lineart to guide you later, a clean and detailed sketch is pretty important

then i make it transparent enough so that i could focus on the shapes, but was also able to tell the details of the sketch, and pick some background color

then i slap on the colors i wanna use. the accuracy of these splotches of color depends on my mood and patience and the amount of details in the drawing (lol), so it’s fairly arbitrary i guess

the more accurate it is, the less it takes to clean it up later, but the opposite sometimes adds life to the drawing and welcomes the experiments with the colors and shapes

if there’s something that needs extra accuracy (like the earring here) or i just don’t feel like cleaning it up again later, i use several layers (face, hair, etc) or add the details later. but i love using one single layer whenever possible

aaand then i just start erasing / adding stuff to make it all nice and crispy!

there isn’t really a certain point when i start doing it. like, here i added those light hair streaks before defining the shape of her head, so that i could erase the messy parts altogether, but i could also clean up the head first, then lock the layer and add the streaks

when i decide that it’s comprehensible enough for me to work without the sketch, i hide its layer. you could continue working with it, of course, but i find it distracting. it’s nice to take a fresh look and figure out what it’s gonna look like in the end

details time! i enjoy adding lines here a lot, it’s really not the same as creating the lineart beforehand. there’s something comfy and lively about this process, because you compliment the shapes, silhouettes and color rather than just redrawing the empty carcass of a sketch. besides, it adds more definition and movement to the shapes

hope that helps!

for @breadygarden​, you can complement it with this other one I made long ago and SPECIALLY WITH REAL LIFE PICTURES! Mostly this is to point out the things you gotta pay attention. Always always check the head-torso radio. You can mix it up with more body fat too!

i wanted to practice portraits from photos ;_; but i ended up colorpicking a lot

I’ve been studying the classic black tie dress code (mainly from here) so I thought I could share my notes. Maybe they can be helpful to someone else, too. If I made any mistakes or things are really confusing please tell me.  I also have some notes on white tie which I could share as well…
