Plutotheunseelie - A Disappointment Aiming To Be A Disgrace

Do you have any art tips? Mostly for anatomy

VERY REALLY FAST rundown of some niche tips I have discovered, specifically for the body types I tend to draw (muscular-soft)

For torso: ribcage/lats area in purple, abdomen/belly comes in blue.

centre line to divide the chest and show the middle of the stomach. frowny face is the top of the abs (kisses the bottom of the pecs) and the nips. Pecs are trapezoidal and connect to the shoulders at a diagonal. The shape of the chest gets more rounded with more body fat generally

Then the traps are like a triangle, the bottom of the triangle is the general area of the collarbone, and the neck starts about halfway up the triangle (this is a super general guide ofc, lots of people aren't built like that... and this isn't perfect anatomy!! but it's a shorthand I use for sketching.)

From the side, the torso has a couple major Bumps:

And when drawing a leg, I tend to draw "hip dips" (really what a stupid name) and the two big boy muscles. I dont draw feet/ankles because I despise them. I'm also terrible at butts.

ARMS!!!!! I do delts/shoulders, bicep, tricep, and idk forearm muscles im not an expert

triceps tend to be engaged when the arm is extended straight (leaning on a surface, downward pull, etc), biceps tend to be engaged when bending at the elbow. Going to the gym helps make this make a lot of sense. Or just exercise in general. Idk)

ELBOWS... I think of elbow like the hard spot that hinges between two meaty bits... This one I don't know how else to explain. I woke up one day and god granted me the power to make elbows look ok

Anyway ya I am not an expert but hopefully some of this is helpful. Biggest most boring advice is: practice with reference photos. Learn about the major muscles and how they fit together, including on your own body if you can see them relaxed VS engaged. Practice practice practice until you can memorize the shapes. Practice!!!!!! And that's it

This is a good site for lots of poses but I also use good ol pinterest or take pics of myself if need be. That's a classic.

Sibling asked how ppl in star wars dance to jizz music and I had to give her an example

Compiled some basic information I know about drawing fat characters for beginners since I've been seeing more talk about absence of really basic traits in a lot of art lately.

Mermay day 12

Yesterday's mermaid was reaching towards nothing, so i thought i would give her a friend to reach for.

I once again started this on the 12th so it still counts

I guess weird ass arms are just a theme and not that i just can't draw arms/hands

Forgot to post these simple little chicken hacky sacks/heat packs i made for my siblings for christmas. 100% cotton and filled with sunflower seeds (the chickens did NOT appreciate me borrowing from their stash but i was out of rice) so they can be heated up for hand warmers or to ease aches and pains

(or for balancing it on your head i guess)

Mermay Day 25!

Writing a novel when you imagine all you stories in film format is hard because there’s really no written equivalent of “lens flare” or “slow motion montage backed by Gregorian choir”

So it turns out putting wood varnish on cheap plastic frames actually works amazingly

Who knew 🤷‍♀️

Mermay day 17!
