I Forgot I Have To Be Active Here So Here’s My Twitter Tutorial On How To Draw Folds I Made A While

Can I get some tips for drawing heads facing upwards? The neck and chin always confuse me.

Yes! This is one of the hardest angles to get right, imo, because it’s such a rare position to find ourselves in. That, plus the foreshortening needed to get the face just right. 

I’d start by doing some studies. Here, I traced over these stock photos to figure out where the contour lines of the jaw go, and the sculptural quality of the neck. 

Then,  I used the knowledge to draw a head freehand. 

Some important notes: 

The chin slopes into the neck with a pad of fat, muscle, and skin. Therefore, you shouldn’t follow the contour of the jaw. It shows as a “shelf”, as in you can see the shadow underneath. In people with more prominent fat, there will be less of a change in angle, and you will see less shadow under the jawbone. 

Some people have a prominent adam’s apple that you can see on the track of the trachea.

The sternocleidomastoid muscle is important to show. It connects from just behind the ear to the clavicle. It is used in the turning of the head.

How would you draw a muscular guy who also has a bit of tum because I have a character who’s really strong and muscular but a bit chub. I love your art and style and the way you draw anatomy.

I’m terrible at explaining things through text but here’s my best shot~

I was advised for better results define the muscles in the arm more~ Doesn’t look like a Tiny Tum tho~ More like a Beer Belly… :P

Idk if this will help.

Yesterday was my “Free to draw” day, and I was of course, drawing my guilty pleasure that is goth nerd boys. In light of the many beetles in my room that have crawled their way in, I decided to make this beetle witch character.

I thought I show people my thought process when creating a character. This is basically it, I always start by drawing the face then getting a concept, which ends with the body/colors scheme. Depending on the character, this process can take hours, days or a couple of minutes. I plan to make a full illustration of this guy, pretty soon.

Learning how to construct simplified heads in the October lesson! Drawing the skull is really helping me understand the jaw shape, and that is something I’ve struggled with for years.

Hi there I am a person trying to learn art but I was wondering if you could make a endo sketch of a person please and could you make a mans body bc I am not very good at it it would be really help full plus it doesn’t have to be the best work you’ve ever made just a nice endo sketch please

okay hahhahah

actually, those are the only things I remember while drawing and I am so used to them that I'm not even sure if I use them at all XD

But yea! Here you go! If you want me to draw a female body, I can do that too uwu

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

I finally reached 5000 followers *quietly cheers* and @strongity asked me a day before that happened to maybe do a tutorial thing on eyes and anatomy… So I did my best. I have kind of moved past using methods to draw (like using boxes to create shapes), just because I’m so used to drawing people. It kind of became a tips thing rather than a step by step guide, but hopefully it will help some of you!

Can we c̸̡̢͎̦̖̈́ ą̷̦̩̼͎̜̓̑̄̔́͝ͅͅͅ n̷̨̝̯̙̤͆̈̇́ͅ c̴͕͓̰̦̪̭͎͖̠̋͒̀͜ ę̷̧̙͖̼̘̦̬̦̺̈͒͆͊͝ l̵̜͉͓̥͊̑͛̚̕  shoulders?

They have no right to be this hard to draw.

Some drawing tips previously posted on twitter. More drawing tips on my patreon. Hope some of these can be helpful.

Since a lot of people adviced me to improve on body variety I practiced a little bit. Loosely based on the lunar zodiac character traits to make it more fun.
