This is so technical and legit and helpful. I cant believe how many people just keep making the basic “start with a circle and draw a face” tutorials over and over again. THESE are the kind of tools to make an effort to use

It’s old news but I found this progress gif I’d made and don’t think(?) ever posted of the cover art for Mega64′s Time Travelers DVD. 

Usually I approach things with a more gradual buildup of shading all around but for some reason when I’m shooting for realism and got it all laid out it’s easier to just finish chunks at a time. Easier in terms of mental health anyway, it’s probably not the best method.

How do you go about getting better with your lines and inking in general? Like how do you know what pens to use?

I just try pens until I find ones that feel good. The inking itself is kind of a shitshow of guesswork and messing up and trying to compensate for it. Some pens feel so nice they make you wanna draw.

I’ve tried some actual nib and liquid ink quill type pens and the lines look really beautiful but its hard and messy to use. Otherwise I go for ones with really well flowing ink, and half the time those aren’t really artists pens but just nice office pens. It depends on what you plan on doing after you ink it though cause unless you use something deliberately permanent and waterproof trying to use a liquid wash brush pen over it will ruin the lines. I bought a bunch of brush pens for a while but realized I’m just not that into them. It puts a lot of focus on the shapes of the lines itself and seems to be more relevant to simple, stylistic art that’s less representational. If I don't have a fairly fine, consistent pen I lose all the details I carefully sketched out. However, I’ll regularly go through phases where I just draw straight with pen, no sketching, cause it’s good practice for incorporating mistakes and working with what you got, and in that case the brush pens can be pretty fun and forgiving.

I’ll edit this later and add the exact name/pictures of some of my fav pens, but here’s two of the office types that I like

dont draw porn of minors its disgusting

Does he look like a minor in that drawing? In all the possible timelines you choose to interpret that Steven as a minor and classify nudity as pornography? Sounds like you’re the pervert.
