SWORDTEMBER DAY 1 - FIRE “May Fure’s Fire strike you down before I get the chance.”

I’m going to try and do Swordtember a couple times this month. Hopefully it’ll go well, even if it’s just a sword design. I’m already pushing the time limit for today, but this was fun! (Thank you, sister, for being my hand model reference!)

Swordtember was made by faith_schaffer on insta and Twitter, so go check them out for cool art and the prompt list!

Also was inspired by @wayanayaw for making Fure as the inspo for the blurb.

I really liked The Midnight Gospel.

My first Studio Newsletter for this summer! This was an exercise my Intermediate Drawing professor has us do during quarantine to keep her updated on our progress, and I said I was going to continue it throughout the summer, so here I am!

I bought several Aaron Blaise tutorials while they were on sale, so I’ve been following those, mainly the one focusing on anatomy. I think it’s going alright, although I feel like I need to watch them several times to get things to stick.

I’ve also tried to figure draw everyday. I wasn’t able to much last week, so here’s hoping I can keep up with it this week. I’m also planning on starting Steve Ahn’s Drawing and Storyboard workshop in a couple weeks. I’ve very excited for what I’m going to learn in those.

A little art I did last week for Valentine’s Day

july ‘19 vs september ‘19 

[usurperss]

so here’s a tiny tutorial about light reflections (i’m no expert though!!)

the drawing made in july is lacking on light reflections

the one done in september looks much better since i paid attention to them

Also remember that the intensity of the lighting depends on the material on which it is reflected, eg. glass / metal / fabrics etc. Glossy surfaces reflect the lighting more than matte surfaces

another example:

I’ve been seeing a lot of Big Hero 6 concept art and I wanted to set a brush to kind of mimic the graphite style of some of the sketches. I don’t have a “fully functional” version of SAI, so I tried to make this as simple as possible.

a quick grass tutorial

I’ve never really wrote a tutorial before so apologies if this is bad

1. okay first thing I do is pick three colors, a mid, dark, and light. I like to check the colors in greyscale to make sure there’s enough contrast between each one.

I then plop down a blob of whatever my middle tone color is.

2. next, I take my dark color and just sort of randomly place it around. I try to make sure there’s a good amount of both the mid and dark tones spread throughout. I personally like to keep it kinda messy. I also have pen pressure on for both brush size and opacity, so I can have some blending action going on.

3. for the next step I do the exact same thing as before, except with the light color.

4. aight this is where we start adding details. see how you just have a bunch of colors and edges where two colors meet? use the eyedropper and go to an area where two colors meet, eyedrop a color, and then use that color to draw in your grass blades. I do this at every point where colors meet. should note I personally like to use a square brush, but you can really just use anything.

5. you can technically stop at the last step if you’re going for a more simple look, but to add more details I go to the “empty” areas of solid color and just draw in random strokes using a color nearby. it’s just a way to fill up the empty space.

6. basically more of the same idea of eyedropping and drawing. for more variety so things look interesting, I like to add random plant shapes.

7. and so the grass doesn’t look too plain, I add random dots of color and pretend it’s flowers and stuff.

and there you have it, this is how I approach drawing grass.

I drew my Spidersona! He’s based off a tarantula and yes—that is his chest hair.

Heyyy, @mastermeg commissioned me for a little tutorial on how I personally draw tears!

I don’t believe there is any right and wrong way to go about it, just have fun and do it how you like! This is just my own personal method, is all! I hope ya’ll enjoy it.

New Handle!

Hey Everyone! I’m now johnnydrawsart on Twitter, Instagram, and here! I haven’t posted any art in a while, but you better believe I’ve been scrawling like a madman, not to mention the multitude of classes I’ve done animations and storyboards for.

I thought I should post this in case anyone is planning on leaving tumblr.

A tip for blending when painting digitally: use a transition color! I quickly made this when my brother asked for art advice while I was working on a painting for my best friend. (I was watching a lot of makeup videos to pick out her gifts).

Some drawing tips previously posted on twitter. More drawing tips on my patreon. Hope some of these can be helpful.

Made this for a friend who needed some help with fire animation, figured it might be useful to someone else

this is how I approach any fire animation I do timing-wise and design wise. if I am doing something more cartoony I will use shapes that are suited to more flowing smooth transitions and a nice graphic look, if I am animating more realistically I will use more chaotic timing and a design that works better with the slight motion blur I always apply to realistic fire. real fire doent flow nice and smooth like water or smoke when viewed at real-time

I almost always animate fire on 1′s, though the cartoony fire can work on 2′s, you just have to be more careful of pops.

you can also animate more realistic fire with a slower timing, you wouldn’t want the above fire in the background of a calm scene. this is just an example using an extreme case.

Hope this helps someone who is struggling to rough animate fire that fits their specific style and scene timing.

Hey there! Random question but I'm curious, how would you go about drawing chainmail? I have a D&D character that has chainmail under their armour and every time I try to draw them I'll start off by drawing all the links by hand then it gets way too tedious so I go look for chainmail pattern on google and paste it lmao but it feels like I'm cheating by doing that, and it clashes with the style I'm going for. I was wondering if you had any tips or tricks?

I don’t feel particularly great at drawing chain-mail either but there’s a technique I learned from a tutorial a bunch of years ago that I think makes a pretty good texture. It’s fast and the end result is cartoon-y enough to match a less photo-realistic style. I can’t for my life find the tutorial so I’ll recreate it here (using Photoshop):

1. Fill your canvas with black or white. Filter -> Render -> Clouds

2. Filter -> Filter Gallery -> Glass (under the Distort category)Keep smoothness as low as possible, play with the other settings

3. Find a filter in Filter Gallery that you like and apply it. Combine them, if needed.

4. When applying texture to the drawing, use Edit->Transform->Warp to make it fit the shape you’re trying to convey

You can stack more filters on after the texture is placed or draw over it with a textured brush to make it look less uniform if that’s what you want. Add a shine to it with a big soft brush, colorize it, go crazy. I go with whatever looks best to me atm.

This is how I did Geralt’s armor too, though since I knew the final print will be smaller than 1.5″ I didn’t worry about details much. 

Hope that helps!
