Please Share This!!!!! As You Resident Vitiligan And Fellow Artist I Am Here To Educate People On How

Link to my face/head tutorial

This is more just some messy thoughts rather than a tutorial, but some people might find it useful?? The best tips I can give is still just to practice. Take a life drawing class if you can, or just use images of people. You can also learn a lot by copying the work of artists you like (just don’t claim it as your own, of course).

I do have a book recommendation though! Andrew Loomis “Figure Drawing for All It’s Worth”. I remember it used to be extremely easy to find free PDFs of that book, but then it got back in print so I’m not sure. It’s a very old book.

Some drawing tips I was asked for. I might draw later how to draw expressions and hands, but for now, here, thanks for the interest! And hope this is useful!

How do you make noses? I think they look really cool but I can't ever draw them like that, the spacing just gets wayyyy off

THAT IS AN EXCELLENT QUESTION AND I REALLY HOPE I CAN ANSWER IT CUZ I LOVE DRAWING NOSES

HERE WE GO BOIS

UP CLOSE NOSE FOR SHADOW REFERENCE AND SHAPE:

MANY NOSES FOR REFERENCE:

OBVIOUSLY, noses vary based on race and age, so it’d probably be a good idea to get some references, but every nose has the same basic form.

So remember: SHADOWS, BROWBONE, TOP LIP, AND NO KILLER KNIFE-NOSES.

and of course

MAKE IT PRETTY!!!

I hope this helps!!! :D

How to draw a basic head construction

By REIQ

E.J Sue’s “Mechaforce” is one of the few “How to Draw” books I would point newbies looking to get into drawing robots to. It emphasises knowing the basics (Very difficult to draw a robot properly if you can’t use perspective) and fundamental shapes and even arm techniques, and gives a neat insight into how mechanical forms work in art. 

These are just a few of the examples from the anatomy section of the book. It’s currently on sale on Amazon and worth checking out, though I will note it is not a “be all end all” resource, thankfully you can fill in your knowledge gaps elsewhere. 

A lot of people ask me for tutorials. I guess this counts. I don’t really know how to tackle a full tutorial just yet. Styles range so much that I feel it’s more just tips or suggestions

how to hit your guys with the crust rays

a friend of mine was having trouble with a character of hers, he was middle-aged but looked too young, so she came to me for help. i'm something of a middle-aged-man-fan so i whipped up this quick thing to help her out. it might be useful to somebody out there so i'll share it here too!

Hello! Do you have any tips for drawing cows? I really struggle with stylizing them and I love how you draw them

sorry this took so long to reply to but i finally got around to cows again.

western cattle are very much an arrangement of rectangles. their topline is straight and angular contrasted by their flabby skin and wrinkles, then you see them from the front or back and they’re round?? the best way to learn to draw animals is life sketches, I go to our annual agriculture show to see cows. They’re also shaved for the show ring there so i get a clear image of them.

looking at skeletals and anatomy drawings is also helps a lot, i recommend Hermann Dittrich’s lithographs and Jack Hamm’s ‘how to draw animals’

when you can visualize the shapes you can start to play with them and stylize

cows and horses are not closely related and their skeletons are very different, especially their hindquarters. i’m not sure what other specific tips i have i hope these help

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

do you have any tips for anatomy?? the way you draw bodies flows so well and looks so natural, but its also really detailed!!

Thank you!!! There is too much to say on the matter so I summarised some basics. The best way to learn is to draw nudes (looooots of nudes), but I hope those tips make the process easier ~
