Autodesk sketchbook (free)

Krita (Free)

Adobe Photoshop ($11 USD A month)

Clip Studio Paint (80 USD a year)

Procrate ($10 USD) For tablet

3D Programs:

Blender (free) - great for learning anatomy and 3D space of a figure.

Maya ($300 USD for 100 days) - used to be a lot cheaper but not anymore.

Books:

1. *** Human Anatomy for Artist: The Elements of Form - by Eliot Goldfinger *** (Must have)

Online Art Pose References (where to find):

Artstation (not free)

Pose Space (pricey)

Gumaroad (not free)

Background:

I actually have a degree in 3D and 2D animation from on the the top art schools in the USA. However, I really didn't learn much about drawing in school. I learn more about 3D/2D programs and how the 3D animation industry works. I learned how to draw/paint mostly on my own.

I started out as a digital artist and still am a digital artist. It not so much the medium in which one draws on but what one is learning how to draw. Much like music - doesn't matter which instrument one is learning how to play, one needs to learn their scales. In art those "scales" are learning anatomy (which nobody learns), color theory (which is my pride and joy), perspective (super hard), gesture and form (super fun once you get it).

Remember, everyone learns differently and at their own speed. Find what makes you want to learn and a fun way to learn for you. Hope this helps! Best of luck on your art journey.

What the heck happened in my last post? 😂🤣😆 This did not turn out how I expected it would go! 😅

I came back to many notifications like

Allow me to showcase some of my favorite additions;

First, there was Gregor @its-capt-traitor-to-you

Many of us are afraid to do a holonet search after learning something new. 😲

After some information given by @reader6898 we then got this

Didn't know any of that about Pineapple.

Then Kix @i-outrank-everyone got roped in

Then we got input from none other than @anxiouspineapple99

Work it Pineapple!

Kix was confused

Fives @fives-but-a-10 was utterly baffled

Yes Fives we are confusing, we even confuse ourselves. And yes there is a puppet of you. Pales in comparison to yourself but I tried. XD I think after this you'll have no problem getting real food donations from the fans, simps, and mesh'las on this site.😆

Pineapple laid it out

Calm down Captain!

And well I'll let you read the rest. 🤣

So on that note, I learned that the boys want Pineapple and real food.

I'll start you off with a packet of these.

Puppet!Fives got to try mixed bean chili today.

[fives-but-a-10]

@i-outrank-everyone why is the puppet getting better food than we are?

:goes to holonet to find out what simps are: Wow, which definition are we going with? I’m hoping the one that sounds more fun. But wouldn’t that just be more Mesh’la?

I need some of that good looking food and someone to explain this to me.

[fives-but-a-10]

I heard something about a cuddle pile? I love deep pressure and cuddle

Cuddle piles can be nice! Rare to see anymore. That is unless someone has to tackle@hardcase-ct-yolo because he’s actually bouncing off the bulkheads.

[fives-but-a-10]

What's your favorite memory of Domino squad back when you were all still cadets?

@idiot-tamer and @hevy-lifter are really going to hate me saying this but when we were cadets we'd have cuddle piles and tell each other stories. It was a lot of fun.

[hevy-lifter]

i have no shame. even clones need human contact as children!

[clonethirstingisreal]

[fives-but-a-10]

@clonethirstingisreal

Why the tears, Mesh’la?

[clonethirstingisreal]

Because thoughts of cadet cuddle piles are too much for me. Emotionally. They're just so beautiful. It's happy tears, not sad. I just love the thought of you guys getting to cuddle!

[fives-but-a-10]

Hey, I still like to cuddle mesh’la.

[fives-but-a-10]

What are the chances of a Domino sandwich with you and @idiot-tamer ? Asking for a friend

Better if you buy us drinks first.

[fives-but-a-10]

Who let General Ugly back on the holonet

I’d like to know how a ghost uses the holonet.

[fives-but-a-10]

Worthless clone @general-pong-krell

Oh look he speaks from beyond the grave! He who got taken out by a “worthless clone”. @is-that-regulation is worth a hundred of you.

[fives-but-a-10]

@hevy-lifter Just figured you’d rather me tell about sometime we beat the simulations or something like that.

[fives-but-a-10]

I got a pong krell blog mind if I send an ask on General Ugly I mean General Krell's behalf

If he thinks he needs to speak from beyond the grave, sure. I can spare a few words for him. I'm sure my vode could too.

Puppet!Fives Is becoming very popular around my community! (Or I'm just the weird puppet lady 🤣)

Here he is with Chef Ryan from Wiggly with today's recipe; chicken fajitas!

About time our boy got to try some real food other than rations!

What about you guys, have you ever got to try food other than rations or mess hall grub? What was your favourite?

@i-outrank-everyone, @arc-trooper-juicy-j, @tup-perware, @hardcase-ct-yolo, @is-that-regulation, @hevy-lifter, @idiot-tamer, @professional-tooka-herder, @fives-but-a-10, @howl-like-u-mean-it, @a-1010-is-speaking, @every-rose-has-one, @its-capt-traitor-to-you, @212th-chaos, @whenindoubt-blamewaxer, @kark-trooper-echo

[every-rose-has-one]

I’m partial to pizza, but if Chef Ryan is ever on triple zero, I’ll take 3 plates of fajitas 👀

[dahscribbler]

@every-rose-has-one

Okay pizza toppings, what's your favourites, do you believe in pineapple on pizza? Discuss.

Feel free to drag your brothers into this one. 😁

All for yourself or are you sharing? 🥙🥙🥙

[its-capt-traitor-to-you]

What's a pineapple?

[reader6898]

@its-capt-traitor-to-you

It's a fruit us nat-borns eat. It's very sweet and delicious. You should give it a try

[its-capt-traitor-to-you]

Well now, look what I found:

Bromelain, an enzyme found in pineapple, triggers testosterone production which can elevate a man's sex drive. High levels of vitamin C and thiamine in pineapple provide a surge of energy to the body too, thus increasing sexual stamina.

Heh, @i-outrank-everyone, think you can get the GAR to prescribe us some pineapple?

[i-outrank-everyone]

Sure, vod. If you can find some of this pineapple stuff, consider this my prescription. Eat all you want.

[anxiouspineapple99-deactivated2]

Why hello there, boys. 😘😘😘😘

[fives-but-a-10]

I come back from a mission to find all of this? What happened? Did I drink too much at 79's when we celebrated? Did someone spike my drink? @i-outrank-everyone I think @hardcase-ct-yolo put something in my drink again!

[i-outrank-everyone]

You and me both, vod. Why is that shi-shok wearing lingerie? I have so many questions...

[fives-but-a-10]

Nat borns are very confusing sometimes. The one has lingerie and the other one doesn't? And there is a puppet of me? Where can rel me get food?

[fives-but-a-10]

Someone stole and sliced my data pad to keep me from being able to take asks. I have my suspicions!

But the good news is, mesh’la, I have my asks open. Even for the shy cyar’ika that need to use anon!

Ask me anything,

[212th-chaos]

Stupidest things the 501st has done?

That is an extremely long list. I did overhear Rex telling Cody that Fives and Hardcase somehow managed to knock over a gun ship during an impromptu ship wide game of tag.

We are still trying to figure out how they managed that-

[cuddles-with-dragons]

Isn't it obvious that Anakin helped?

[wolverina2002]

I honestly think it´d be funnier if he didn´t

[212th-chaos]

General Skywalker wasn't in the hanger. He was up on the bridge with Captain Rex when they got a very pissed off com from Dogma saying Fives and Hardcase kriffed up a LAAT.

The General did apparently have to step out of the hanger cause Rex was trying to reprimand them, and the General was laughing too hard-

[fives-but-a-10]

Dogma was more upset that we didn’t tell him or Rex how it happened. Why aren’t we asking what the stupidest thing the 212th has done?

[i-outrank-everyone]

Trick or treat! Happy Halloween to my favorite medic! What's your costume this year?

Same as every day, mesh'la. Sexy doctor. 😏

The ones with the really good costumes are @hardcase-ct-yolo @tup-perware @arc-trooper-juicy-j @fives-but-a-10 @professional-tooka-herder @every-rose-has-one

[fives-but-a-10]

Going as a Jedi! It's not hard, they leave their robes laying around all over the place. I wonder where they keep getting them from? Do they have a giant room in the temple they keep full of robes for the Jedi that drop them? @professional-tooka-herder you've been in the temple, do they?

[chocomars]

Long, long road ahead of ya, cowboy.
