Can you steal a style? In my opinion, you can’t - but you can definitely learn a lot from studying someone’s art style. Here’s some of my thoughts on that - and some Leyendecker studies to go with it!

This is a preview of my 40 minute tutorial on how to steal a style. Watch the full version here!

My name is Jessica Peffer and I’m an illustrator and mythological creature enthusiast. I’m the author and artist of the DragonArt: How to Draw book series, and co-creator of the browser based virtual pet game, Flight Rising. I graduated from Columbus College of Art and Design with a BFA in illustration

From 2001-2014 NeonDragonArt.com was used as a hub for my art, tutorials, and a forum for artists. After it launched in 2013, Flight Rising took up the majority of my time. NeonDragonArt had to be set aside while I worked to help make Flight Rising the best game it could be.

Now that things have settled down a bit, I’m working to create a little space for myself and my art again. I will be moving to Strange Little Creatures for a fresh start and posting my current work there.

Peek A Boo! I plan on doing a whole series of Famtheon comics addressing the lives, relationships, and pasts of my designs for the greek gods. So keep your eyes peeled for more in the near future!

I was asked by a friend yesterday if I could offer basic tips about comic paneling. As it turns out, I have a lot to say on the matter! I tried breaking down the art of paneling using the principles of art and design, and I hope it helps you out!

EDIT: uh uh there are a lot of people reblogging this, so i figure i may as well append this now while i can lol

This whole thing was very much cranked out in a few hours so I had a visual to talk about with a friend! If this gives you a base understanding of paneling, that's awesome! Continue to pull in studies from the comics you see and what other artists do well and don't do well! You can tell paneling is doing well when the action is flowing around in its intended reading format.

Here's the link to the globalcomix article from which I pulled the images about panel staggering! Someone sent in a reblog that it wasn't totally clear that the 7th slide mostly covers what NOT to do in regards to staggering, and that is my mistake!

I saw in a tag that someone was surprised I used MamaYuyu too, and I don't blame them lol. If I had given myself more than a couple hours maybe I would have added something else on, I just really admire MamaYuyu's paneling personally.

uh uh, final append: I am by no means a renowned master of paneling, so if you find anything off base here, by all means, counter it with your own knowledge and ways you can build upon from here! Art is always a sum knowledge of everything we find. 💪

Got somethin' to say this #AniMonday ?

Another concept test for Foster/Superfan while at Blue Sky studios . We were playing around with a magical race whose magic was all illusion based. They were flashy and over the top, and their costumes/clothes would constantly change and shift depending on their mood/feelings/attitude. I thought the Chris Tucker from Fifth Element bit would be perfect for the test. Tried to get some Genie from Aladdin energy in there as well. Had a lot of fun with this one!

That feeling when you realize what a mess you made and you don’t know where to start with cleaning it up. 

[bethanyangelstar]

I feel this on a personal level.

A did this back in 2019, but I never uploaded it here. :) I absolutely loved the first season of “Reincarnated as a Slime”, and I had to do a picture of it at the time.

I came back onto Tumblr just to send this to you, Seymour. @pmseymourva
