I Wish :

People often say to me: “You draw like some kind of inhuman machine.  If I eat your brain, will I gain your power?”  The answer is yes, but there is another way. The key to precise drawing is building up muscle memory so that your arm/hand/fingers do the things you want them to do when you want them to do them.  Teaching yourself to draw a straight line or to make sweet curves is just a matter of practice and there are some exercises you can do to help improve. If you’re going to be doodling in class or during meetings anyway, why not put that time to good use?

STORYBOARD/ANIMATIC TIPS

I made these for my friends, but I thought that might be helpful for yall as well! hehe! Now whenever someone asks for storyboard tips I can throw this at them!

Fan art for the song The Good Child And The Fox Spirit by Kikuo

Fan art for the lost song Medical Wedding by MASA Works Design

When I first heard what has been found of this song, I thought it was so beautiful even if the subject matter was so dark. Gumi sounds like she's screaming in such raw emotional pain. I haven't heard Gumi tuned like that before or since.

I really hope it's found some day.

How To Grass

"It's as tedious as you want it to be!"

Basically, you want to hide the flat lines at the bottom of each section to make the transition vague. The more overlap there is between each grass color, the better it tends to look.

You may want to split the grass between different work layers if you're considering adding characters or objects after the fact, because this stuff is a real pain to mess with once it's down.

While the random darks and lights of the grass look fine, you should also consider where the environmental light is when planning them out. See this drawing for example, there are more dark areas near the trees.

Quick'n'Dirty Treelines

"It gets the job done."

If you ever are self-publishing or illustrating a paperback, an absolutely essential tool is this page, which gives you the exact pixel count of a book spine based on its page count, and/or a template you can use for the correct width/height ratio.
