Drawing References/Tutorials etc.

Hello! This is a blog where I reblog tutorials, references, or other stuff of what I need help with when it comes to drawing. I'm pretty sure there are others who would like the help so let's hope this helps you. I reblog usually on what I need help with like hands or expressions but if there's something someone needs help with let me know and I'll try to find something to help. None of these belong to me unless stated.

Woe, art study dump be upon ye.

I kinda went nuts and did this all in like 3 days 🤡 it's been a while since I did art studies on very specific things so I locked in like crazy

hmmm been thinking about stylizing ear shapes to draw super quick and brainless ears. Uploading it on the slim possibility it helps someone other than myself

disclaimer: not a teacher, not a pro artist or anything.

Feather illustration for non-biologists! It occurred to me that some of you might find this useful. It starts with a necessary biology lesson, because I find that understanding the structure and function of feathers will greatly improve accurate rendering of those feathers.

A lot of this is general - obviously you can find all kinds of exceptions in the  natural world (penguins, ratites, I’m looking at you guys). But it should cover the bulk of the illustration needs if you’re not comfortable drawing feathers and want some ideas on how to improve.

For photo references, I highly recommend birdpixel (a very generous online art reference created by Leena and Vivek Khanzode), Cornell’s Macaulay Library, and Piranga, which is mostly aimed at North American bird banders but shows excellent close-ups of a variety of species.
