Some Drawing Tips I Was Asked For. I Might Draw Later How To Draw Expressions And Hands, But For Now,

I get asked a lot for tips with coloring black people, so i put together a little tutorial! (and bumps my kofi if you found this helpful)

francis how would you do a vampires teeth so that theyre like. more unsettling in ur opinion

i think honestly a good place to start would be just looking at blood sucking animals in nature, because in most cases their mouths would look pretty unsettling when applied to human anatomy

vampire bats are an obvious starting point but they dont look too uncanny for the most part until you take some liberties w/ it 

if youre thinking more along the lines of “nah id prefer to enact psychological warfare against anyone who calls vampires sexy” a lamprey is a GREAT starting point

or a tick

these are just ideas for starting points of course, theres no Rule That Vampire Must Resemble Animal but i think looking to nature is really helpful with creature design and combining animal traits onto human shapes is a great way to make a really fucked up scary looking creature.

but really all a vampire needs to do is to be able to access blood (either by opening a wound and lapping it up as the victim bleeds or getting its mouth into the body and sucking) so like you have a TON of options so you can kind of just go wild with it. 

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

hi! umm pls pls PLS if you have the time, do a thingy on arms when you get the chance, they are so hard i could almost cry aslkdjaskjsas, i keep forgetting how many curves an arm should have/how long it should be (in diff positions/when it's not resting at the hips) etc etc etc ahhh omg please!! thank you sosososo much, i l♡ve all of your art and i hope you have a nice day!! ✧ ㅠㅠ ✧

I don’t want to go into detail in terms of muscles, but I’m sure you can find them if you google arm muscles! Hope this helps u out a little!

yee! ill put this under a cut bc its long and features eye/body horror

also this turned more into me rambling abt using uncanny valley srry if its not much help fjdsjf

it's not that i hate them, but i swear, when that lil shit calls for help

The way you draw men is really good, I noticed in your post where you drew some of the trolls as gems. How do you go about constructing a male body? What's your sketching process? You also give Eridan an interesting face shape to accommodate his glasses. I'm very curious about your sketch process and your art in general!

Thank you!

I scribbled a quick thing to show you how I generally think when I draw… Disclaimer, my style is quite stylized, so in no way is my art accurate to real life nor should be used as a source material for accurate anatomy. 😂 Rather, this is a tutorial on how I conceptualize the human body when I draw it…

Usually when i draw bodies (not just masculine types), I usually conceptualize the torso into three “chunks.” What’s important about how to conceptualize these though, is understanding the volumetric shapes these take on and also where these chunks “end.”

Below is an example of my take of a muscular body type with a strong triangular silhouette. The goal below was to emphasize on a strong, confident, and yet also appealing stature. I also put my emphasis on things I find personally attractive lol \o/

The red area encompasses the general shoulder and breast area.

The green area is an indicator for the rib cage. (In some instances it would be better to draw the rib cage first because breasts overlap the ribcage.)

The blue area encompasses the rest of the stomach area. Technically the pelvic bone rises a bit higher into this area too, but for the sake of simplification to understand the basic shapes didn’t draw it in the above example.

Here’s how it generally applies to some other body types!

I don’t always draw like this sometimes, but i think it’s a good start on how to conceptualize the body into simpler shapes.

Also, for much more lanky body types, I tend to simplify them moreso since they don’t need as much definition on muscle structure.

Please do remember it’s better to understand how to simplify the human body after doing studies of anatomy from real life!! I can’t emphasize enough how important studies are

As for how I draw faces, I’ll save that for topic for a rainy day 😂 Hope this helps!

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…
