DeviantART – ArandaDill

yesterday i reblogged a drawing resource that included how to draw hijabs - and it honestly wasn’t the best advice i’ve seen out there

now, i’m not an artist. but what i saw was a video that included hijab styles most of us don’t really wear and incorrect terminology surrounding niqabs and burqas (yes, there is a difference between the two)

so, i went searching and found a tutorial that i felt was better! these drawing guides and examples come from @/winchestermeg on twitter, and i think they’re really great 💕

this has more relevant examples and correct terminologies, and is drawn by a muslim woman

enjoy, artists of tumblr!

another art tutorial post :) this time it’s for rainbow effects

disclaimer: I am east asian. if anyone who is not white sees anything wrong with my phrasing, inaccuracies, or insensitivity, or something I missed, please feel free to add on. I’m just one person with one perspective; none of what I say should be taken as The Singular way to draw an Asian character. if you havent done so already, please take the effort to expand your view of Asian culture outside this one tutorial.

if a white person reblogs this and adds something stupid I’m going to bite and kick you like a wild animal

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

I'm sorry to ask- But You're Really Good At Drawing Art- do you have any tips on drawing big people? i really want to figure it out to properly draw some ocs-

thank you very much, and i’d love to share!

the way i see it, the best way to go about it is to imagine the person you’re drawing being divided into blocks like those little wooden posing figures

i don’t usually plan out a whole character this way, though a good amount of people probably do, but it’s the easiest way to remember where everything goes, anatomy-wise

all you have to do to get varied body types is change the sizes of the blocks, this goes for any body type your going for not just fat ones

And, of course it’s good to remember where fat or muscle collects on a body like the chest, stomach, biceps, thighs, neck and cheeks (this isn’t any kind of Strict Guideline tho, it’s art do whatever you want)

the most important thing is Use Reference, really look at bodies to figure out how they work, if this doesn’t help as much as it should, making your own observations will most likely help you figure out your Own way of doing it

i WAS gonna link some tutorials that helped me when i was still figuring this stuff out but i can’t find Either of them to save my Life so, hope this helps some

im sorry to ask, but i was wondering if you may show us how to draw abs please?

 I STILL TAKE A LONG TIME TO DRAW OK looking abs HHahA SOBS AND LIES DOWN but yeah!! GO LOOK AND Some real life abs i promise you it’ll be ten times more helpful than my crude doodles!!

PLS TAKE THIS WITH A GRAIN OF ASALT AND Hope this helps u out a little!!

ahh im sorry if youve gotten this before but could you do a tutorial on how the head connects to the neck/neck connects to the shoulders?? i saw a small tutorial on shoulders but it was more about how to draw than than how to connect them to the head and the rest of the body u_u

a lot of people asked about necks but i don’t  much to say so i covered a little of the muscles too HERE”S A MORE DETAILED muscle diagram if you’re interested! don’t overwork the neck muscles bc in a lot of people they actually don’t rly show up at all ALSO I tend to draw longer necks out of habit ,some people have shorter necks

REAL LIFE REFS ARE THE BEST GO STARE AT SOME NECKS 

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 ~

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.

Can you give any tips on how to draw big bulky people like Hazel/Muriel/Gretchen?

I hope this can be helpful to you!

I don’t really think about how I draw characters with different body types at this point because I’ve practiced it so much but these are some rough notes on what I do.

The core of it is to just draw using thicker shapes. Don’t worry too much about exaggeration as it’ll help get you out of the mould of drawing smaller characters by default. The neck, the arms, the torso, the legs, just draw them thicker. 

Study references of fat or muscular to see how the definition changes but in principle, it isn’t that much different to drawing any body type.  

I draw Hazel and Gretchen to be quite bulky but because they’re teenagers when I draw them, they’re still quite soft and lack extreme definition or sharp lines, unlike when I draw Muriel who’s meant to be extreme and musclebound. Changing how soft you draw the character or how much detail you draw changes whether they look bulky from fat or muscle.
