How To Draw Feet By zephy.fr

how do you do torsos?

[full pic here] 

it’s not anatomically accurate but this is basically how i do torso

im a bad advice giver but in case anyone finds this handy?

Hell yeah' more shitpost drawing studies'

I mostly to these scribbles/notes for myself, but sharing is caring and my brain simple won't acknowledge and comprehend how light works.

It's actually so simple doing shadows ( in theory ), still' i wanna rip and tear at my hair whenever i actaully have draw dynamic ones.

So my friend Night expressed a general desire for help with profiles, and I figured I’d go ahead and whip this up! I’m no anatomy master or anything, but this is stuff that helps me quite a bit, so I figured I’d share… even if I have no idea how helpful it actually is. Writing tutorials is hard! Ah well, I hope it can be of some use.

a beard tutorial that I was requested to make! I hope that some of you find it helpful! 

Although I dont have anything to submit, (and the submit seems closed anyway.) Do you have any tips on how to draw suits? Ive used references, but I still dont feel like I have the hang of it.

This was from a while back but I’ve gathered some suit references to help! aaa. 

Drawing suits is different than “regular” clothes, I guess, because there’s a specific way for them to look. Very sharp and angular! So when I block in creases, I tend to use triangular or boxy shapes instead of soft curves, to give it a crisper look! 

I also don’t use TOO many creases because that can muddy up the simplified style I tend to work in. For more realistic styles, or detail-oriented styles, definitely look towards something like this:

An exercise you might consider doing is taking a pillow you’ve got and twisting or punching it a few times, then drawing the outcomes. The pillowcase has a sheen to it that looks like suit fabric. Although it might be a bit thinner than a suit fabric, you still get that cloth fold you can practice from!

Your designs always have such lovely details. May I ask, how do you find the time to do so much intricate detailing? I feel like it takes me forever to do stuff like that and it's a bit discouraging. I end up sticking with simpler designs despite loveing more detailed designs. I've tried using custome brushes but your details look so much more natural.

it’s 50% me finding lazier ways to make details and 50% me just liking detail work a lot! here’s stuff that might make things easier for you tho~

Drawing Heads and Faces: Cheekbones

I’ve found that drawing the head starts to make a lot more sense once you start thinking about cheekbones and cheeks, and how the fit into the head structure.

You might be aware of the Mysterious Indent that Looks Good Next to the Outer Part of the Eye, or the Mystery Indent for short. 

Drawing a Mystery Indent may serve you fine if you only draw the head from flat angles, but it falls apart when you get adventurous.

Why isn’t this making sense anymore?

Drawing a ‘Mystery Indent’ is an attempt to imply cheekbones without knowing how they actually incorporate into the skull, and this is why it looks so unconvincing when you use it to draw the head in anything other than ¾ view.

The cheekbones wrap around the head and eye sockets from above the bridge of the nose.  The concave you draw if you draw the ‘Mystery Indent’ is a misunderstanding.  There is no concave.  You should instead be thinking of this as where the eye socket/brow overlaps the (convex!) cheekbone.

Compare the cheekbones on both sides for placement.  They should match up and correspond with each other.

(Knowing cheekbone structure helps when drawing gaunt characters, because their cheekbones may stick out.  Remember to compare the cheekbone placement on both sides!)

* This is part of a much larger tutorial I’m working on about head, face, and facial feature structure.  Hopefully more to come eventually?

Hey artists, C. Spike Trotman, founder of Iron Circus Comics, just posted an invaluable thread on depicting different types of black hair. I’d do the thing where you screencap the whole thread and post it but it’s just too long (which is great because it’s a whole lot of useful information!) Give her a follow while you’re there.

Anyway, go check it out. I just wanted to save it and share it because I didn’t know how much I didn’t know!
