Pardon the mistakes! I haven't been satisfied with something I've done in awhile, so I'm just gonna upload this everywhere I can.. Ahaha! :D

do you have a specific structure when drawing hands cause i s2g you draw the most realest hands out there (ps. your art is amazeballs)
I focus on the basic shapes first, and I find sharp lines best for this (don’t be afraid to exaggerate), like so:
Some more advice that I have no right to give. I’m serious about the Stephen Silver advice though- he’s the man.
HOW TO MAKE YOUR ART LOOK NICE: Reference and Style
To all those artists out there dealing with artblocks, here are some tips for getting that mean art block out of the way using the power of references and how it can help in developing your style!
Color Harmony
Contrast
THE AMOUNT OF TIMES I SAY THIS A DAY IS UNREAL.

I’ve been getting a lot of asks lately about the brushes and textures I use in my work, so here’s a BIG FAT REFERENCE POST for those of you who were curious! Bear in mind that I’m really lazy and don’t know what half the settings do, so don’t be afraid to experiment to figure out what works best for you :>
BRUSHES
Pencil I use the pencil tool with SAI’s native paper texture both for sketching and for applying opaque color with no blending. Lower opacities give it the feel of different pencil hardnesses, while full opacity makes it more like a palette knife, laying down hard-edged, heavy color for detail work or eventual blending with other brushes. Ink Pen Mostly made this because I’m lazy and I didn’t want to have to keep turning my textures off/opacity up when I wanted to ink something (even though I don’t do it very often), or lay down flat colors. I find the line quality to be much more crisp than Photoshop, and you can manually adjust in-program stabilization to help smooth out hand wobbles. Round Brush The plain ol’ brush tool acts as sort of an in-between for me in terms of brush flow. It’s heavier than my usual workhorse brush, for faster color application and rough blending, but not as heavy as the pencil tool, which has no blending at all. I like to use the canvas texture on this brush to help break up the unnatural smoothness that usually accompanies digital brushes, but it works just fine without. Flat Brush A brush tool set to flat bristle is by far my favorite to paint with. I don’t use any textures with it because I think the shape of the brush provides enough of that by itself. I use it for everything from rough washes to more refined shaping and polish. It’s just GREAT.
Watercolor Best used for smooth blending, washes, gradients, and smoky atmospheric effects. Cloud Basically a grittier version of the watercolor tool, because too much smoothness weird me out. Good for clouds and fog, as the name suggests, or just less boring gradient fills.
TEXTURE OVERLAY
To further stave off the artificially smooth look of digital painting, I almost always overlay some sort of paper texture, and it’s almost always this one, which I scanned and edited myself. You’re all welcome to use it, no permission required!
Using overlays in SAI is just as easy as using them in Photoshop. Just paste the texture into its own layer above everything you want it to apply to, and change the layer mode to Overlay. That’s it!
Want a more prominent texture? Up the contrast. Something more subtle? Lower the contrast or reduce the layer opacity. You can also use a tinted overlay to adjust the overall palette and bring a little more color unity to an otherwise disparate piece! Just be aware that too much texture can hurt the readability of the work beneath it, so I’d err on the side of subtlety.
Hope that helps!

aaah… well. i’m not exactly good at explaining things. just look at my million examples instead. )——:

alrighty here’s my guide to drawing eye makeup! hope y’all find it useful and stay tuned for a guide to drawing lipstick ovo
As per request (thanks, singingrabbitskull!), I did a half-tutorial, half-sporadic notes on how I generally render basic expressions.
There’s already a lot of cool tutorials that exist on how to do expressions, so I tried to just look at a lot of really minor details that I’ve used but haven’t seen commonly passed down.
required disclaimer: this is just how I go about it, feel free to ignore bits, steal bits, do whatever you want with them. Hope this helps, and if you have any questions scream at my inbox!
Palidoozy is an awesome person with great art and a comic. This tutorial just made her even more awesome.
Wow been a while since I’ve seen the name palidoozy
I can't decide if this looks like him or not. My mind changes every time I look at it again.. AHAHA!
I actually quite like these! And I don’t know know where else I’d post them, so here they shall go! :D also too lazy to break out the scanner…
