Found some hands tutorial by me
Not in English but hope it will help???????
THIS IS SUPER HELPFUL. especially the hand one.
Iāve translated the ones that arenāt in English! (at least the ones in the main photoset, my Chinese isnāt good and Iām too tired from doing those translations to sit and decipher some of the characters that are blurry haha sorry)
under the cut because it got really long:

Fire Animation - Pixel Art Tutorial by aamatniekss
Problem with drawing your OC?
There is a 3D program where you can set everything.. i mean EVERYTHING on your character! And itās free!Ā
Itās called FUSE

you can pick between realistic and anime styleā¦ But most important: you can ANIMATE THEM!

this is too much power for one man
How to do āextraāĀ facial expressions!
Drawing basic facial expressions is not the hardest. Most people can draw a sad face, a happy face, angry etc., but making more multidimensional expressions is more of a challenge.Ā I have gotten a lot of compliments on how I draw facial expressions, (specifically āangsty onesā) telling me that they are very dramatic and wellā¦ expressive! And there are actually only a few things I think about when I draw faces that take them to the next level, so I thought iād illustrate them all here!
SUPER IMPORTANT TIP BEFORE WE START: Look at your own face when you draw faces. Even making the face when you are drawing (you donāt even have to look at it), will give you some sense of how the face muscles pull and where things fold and stretch, because you can feel it. You are the best reference when it comes to facial expressions!
AnglesĀ
Draw the head in an angle that matches the expressions you want to make. It is not a requirement, but is going to add to the effect.
Symmetry vs asymmetryĀ
A face is rarely symmetric. Unless the face the character is making is 100 % relaxed or even dissociating, the eyebrows, mouth and facial muscles will have different placements of their respective side. This image shows the dramatic impact asymmetry has on a face:Ā
Thatās the difference between a smile and a smirk!
The first oneās likeĀ āoh yeah?ā and the second is likeĀ āoH YEAH??ā
The āballoon squishing principleā
This is something I did subconsciously, and I didnāt know about until I made this tutorial. And this principle goes hand in hand with an asymmetric face. Basically, if you squish one part of the face, you need to even out the empty space byĀ āinflatingā the other part of the face so that it doesnāt appear shrunken. The picture hopefully explains it:
TeethĀ
Donāt forget to add the gum when the mouth is open to its full potential!
Squinting and folding
Adding folds around the eyes when a character is squinting makes a HUGE difference. It makes a smile more genuine and a growl more intimidating. Adding folds to the face in general makes your characters more lifelike and āvisually relatableā. Like, they look human, and less plastic or fake.
and so on..
Pupils and irisesĀ
The placement of the iris and pupil in relation to the eyelids is very important! The less of the white you see, the more relaxed the character is.Ā
And then of course eyebrows and eyes go hand in hand!
Gestures, spitting, sweatingā¦Ā
Adding more elements than just a face is key to making the character actually look like they are feeling what you want them to feel. Just the tiniest sweat drop adds to their anxiety, spitting adds frustration to their rage, slouching shoulders, waving hands, a double chin, extreme angles, the list goes on! Add whatever and see what kind of impact it makes! Does it do the trick? Great! Add it!Ā
Over exaggeration!!Ā
Remember that you can almost always exaggerate more. Donāt be afraid to do drawĀ ātoo muchā because youāre just experimenting. See what works and what doesnāt. What do you like to exaggerate?
Now that you know some theory, itās time to practice!
Practicing!!Ā
The 25 Essential Expressions (a classic! Iāve done it multiple times)
And the one I do when Iām bored:
Fill a page with circles and fill them in with different expressions. Try and exaggerate as much as you can!Ā
This is mostly for experimenting. They are quicker to draw than complete faces, but the same rules should apply!
And thatās about it!
I donāt know if I covered everything in this tutorial, since some things might be obvious for me, and this post perhaps only scratches the surface. So feel free to send me a message if you want an explanation about something more in depth! Thank you for reading! And now DRAW!!!Ā āØšØ

Wonderfully detailed guide on drawing facial expressions. definitely go and follow @elvirasteckningar!Ā
A master post of Thomas Romainās art tutorials.
Thereās not enough space to post all of them, SO hereāsĀ links to everything he has postedĀ (on twitter)Ā so far : 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12.Ā
Now that new semesters have started, I thought people might need these.Ā Enjoy your lessons!
this is always SUCH solid advice!
Iāve been asked a lot about tips for aspiring animators, so here are some ! Enjoy, I hope it will help some of you.
Oh, and for the ones wondering who I am, Iām a french 2D animator. I studied animation at Gobelins like 10 years ago and ever since Iāve been mostly working as a 2D animator for feature films, commercials, shorts and shows.
Spent the last two days working on this little archery guide in art and writing. Considering the rise in popularity of archers in pop culture this hopefullyĀ comes in handy for a bunch of fandoms.
Animal Anatomy for Animation
Hey this is from Sydney Padua!Ā She knows what she is talking about so listen to her, and also give her a little credit, yo.

Where has this graphic been all my life
little art tip: the position of the ears on a human does a lot to communicate the angle of the headāwhether itās tilted forward or back.
tilted back with the chin forward, the ears are going to look lower down, closer to the mouth; tilted forward with the chin tucked, the ears look higher up & more in line with the eyes.
Sorry Iām not hijacking, but this is a really good tip if people donāt know this. Like it does look really strange at first, but it is more realistic than drawing them in the centre of the side plane of the head. So it looks likeĀ this;;;
great addition, thanks!

WACOM TABLET DRIVER NOT FOUND - What Do
So, you put your Windows computer to sleep for the night. Come back the next day, wake up your computer to do some work on that image youāve had open andā¦.
Oh dear, youāve seemed to have lost all pressure sensitivity and high resolution tracking! Well, you figure, letās go check the driver settings. Maybe it just needs to be reminded that itās awake? You go to Control Panel, Wacom Properties Configuā-
Ah.
Now, you figure, itās time to close photoshop, all your windows and programs, and do the dreaded system restart. What a fun time this is.
But HOLD ON,Ā I say! Thereās another way, yet! Try this out first before pulling the plug:
Open your Start menu (or press the Windows Key) and simply type āServicesā. There will be an icon at the top of your list which appears to be two small gears withe the name āServicesā ā imagine that? Double click that and look what happens next:
Scroll down the list and select āWacom Professional Tablet Serviceā from the list of services and click the little āRestartā link in the column to the left. Now simply wait for the service to stop and start itself back up again!
If for some reason, clicking this little āRestartā button makes matters WORSE, the failsafe approach is the manual restart. Double click the āWacom Professional āā service and a window will pop up.
Manually stop the Wacom driver by clicking the clearly marked button. Wait for it to shut down, then start it back up again when the button becomes visible. Once restarted, click OK!
Test your Tablet now in Photoshop. You may have your pressure sensitivity fully restored!
IF NOT,Ā simply close and reopen Photoshop, which will be nice and quick since it (and your work) will still be loaded into recent memory. It surely beats having to restart the whole computer!
Now, providing youāve done it correctly, you should find your Wacomās pressure and tracking sensitivity fully restored! Bravo for discovering such a wonderful little time saver.
Top Image Row 2 Row 3 Row 4 Row 5 Row 6, 7, & Bottom Image
First off please pardon my mistakes, aha;; I hope Iāve understood your question correctly! Since you mentionedĀ poses, I focused specifically on how I go about it and what I relate to it.Ā
Line of action is an imaginary line that goes through the mainĀ āactionā or gesture of the character.Ā ThisĀ is a better visual than my draws [also contrapposto for anyone who doesnāt know]
Straights on curves is simplification and exaggeration of formsāit communicates more with less, builds anticipation > action, andā¦ um..Ā just look at thisā¦
Animation/cartoon concepts work for āanimeā-styles, too (theyāre both about movement) and for storytelling in illustration as well, but Iām probably going to run on another tangent so Iāll just leave more links that are great to read! Like kelās tutorials andĀ Glen Keaneās notes and onĀ storyboardingĀ (storyboarding is ALL about clear poses) and this lovely, simple example of Milt Kahlās composition in posing. I saw this in class once and itās really stuck with me ever since on thinking about directing where you want the audience to look on a character-level.Ā
Anyway, thanks for the askā I hope this is somewhat informative despite my skipping all over the placeā¦ :āD
Attention non-artists who commission artists: donāt fuckin do this???
Actually had someone do this to me too. Was doing a art stream, it took me over 2 hours to do his inked commission, he got a refund cause āit took too longā that he figured I wasnāt going to do it after I gave him the file.
Donāt do this. Do not.
Iāve had this happen to me with a $350 comic :/ I had already finished it, it was full color, 6 panels and had a full bg in every panel. I was lucky in that I didnāt spend him money yet, but it left me without funds. Iāve also had the above happen to me as well.
Donāt do this shit to artists. Weāre people too. Drawing for you is more than a hobby. Itās a job.
Use Paypal Invoices.Ā
I cannot stress this enough. That shit helps A LOT when it comes down to Paypal refunds/disputes. Thereās a description box that letās you put in what the product is/how long itāll take/yadda yadda, and then thereās another little memo box that only you and paypal can see where you can say itās a digital commission and doesnāt require shipping (So Donald Mcfuck canāt say that they never got their commission). And thereās also a box for your Terms & Conditions where you can say, if you have any conflicts/want a refund - email me, or you can actually tell the user that this is a digital commission and they wonāt be getting a hard copy of it.
ARTISTS. PLEASE USE PAYPAL INVOICES. it will SAVE you. And to: the people who do this to artists ā Fuck you. Itās okay if you change your mind and want a refund. But freaking TALK to us and let us know whatās going on. Let us WORK with you.
ALSO A HUGE TIP: Invoices paid will automatically set up a shipping notice which, if not fulfilled, can land you in SERIOUS hot water with PayPal. Since a lot of artists donāt print and ship the commissions, this is a huge problem.
However! Totally manageable. Just go to your PayPal, scroll down to find Seller Preferences
>> Shipping Preferences
>> Display Ship Button. Make sure all the boxes are unchecked. Then youāre all set!
