A compilation of stuff I know about drawing Asian faces and Asian culture! I feel like many “How-To-Draw” tutorials often default to European faces and are not really helpful when drawing people of other races. So I thought I’d put this together in case anyone is interested! Feel free to share this guide and shoot me questions if you have any! I’m by no means an expert, I just know a few things from drawing experience and from my own cultural background.
I need help
I am completely out of options. I need $650 for rent or I’m gonna become homeless. I’ve tried to get a loan and ask friends but nothing is in my favour. Can anyone from here please help?
I might even be able to do commissions!
Heh. It’s been a hot minute. What’s up, yo, let me feed you some Rayla from The Dragon Prince because I love her.
How to Make Your Art Look Nice: Thumbnailing
It’s here! For those artists who spend loads of time trying to figure out why their art is not coming out the way they want it to be, making thumbnails (or making studies) is the thing for you! It’s also great of getting rid of the habit of zooming in.

hope this helped in some way, sorry if i replied pretty late and if this was pretty short
here’s a few references/guides if you wanted more:
sycra: how to draw hair (lengthy but detailed, explanations are straightforward)
1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7
Marinette & Adrien + Height Difference
Why do artists refuse to use references why why why.
It’s not a contest to see who can get by without them. It’s not cheating to look at a thing in order to know what the thing looks like.
You don’t get stronger or better by pretending. Nobody is impressed by the awkward whatever-it-is you just drew. Use references.
I don’t think a lot of people know that it’s not cheating. I recall seeing so many piece of art called out because they referenced a pose, someone recognized it, and then proceeded to shame them for it. There’s this belief, both by creators and the audience, that artists should just be able to translate the ideas from their head to paper, and if they don’t, it’s plagiarism, or not true originality (spoiler alert: there’s no such thing).
I myself didn’t start using references until very recently, because even I was under the impression that it was frowned upon. And that belief has seriously crippled and stalled my ability to improve as an artist.
As a restarting artist, I can confirm. I just never knew. I thought you were just supposed to know how to draw the body correctly and if you didn’t you had no talent.
(( I am going to say this again, loud and clear for everyone:
USING REFERENCES FOR ART IS NOT ‘CHEATING’!!!
If you can draw/paint without references, great! But if you need to use them, and feel that your art can be bettered by using references, please, use them! This is one of the biggest tips I can give to artists, is USE REFERENCES!
Anyone who would dare to attack someone for using references after ‘recognizing a pose’ is a dipshit, who doesn’t know a thing about art.
Do you know who else used references for their art?
Norman Rockwell
Alphonse Mucha
Gustav Klimt
Toulouse Lautrec
Vincent Van Gogh
Paul Gauguin
Edgar Degas
Gil Elvgren
Frida Kahlo
Pablo Picasso
Disney Studios
And thousands of others! So, artists! Go forth, and use references!!! ))
Reblogging as a constant reminder to my followers: You will never get better if you don’t use REFERENCES from life!! References are your friend I use them all the time and have nearly one terabyte for poses alone.
You can even use other artists work, it’s just a matter of respecting the artist. Just be very careful and ASK (if you can) before posting any art you made that directly references an artists work. If you cannot contact them, let people know or link to the reference you used. Do not claim the work is your own or let people assume it by not saying anything at all-that’s where the call out culture is. Emulating master works was REQUIRED for half my undergrad classes in painting- and my original work was so much better because I studied someone with more experience and knowledge of the craft.
Unless you have a very good grasp on your subject matter trying to draw everything from memory is just going to hinder and frustrate you.
Study the masters.
Study real life.
Practice. Practice. Practice.
Your work will thank you for it.
I don’t add to reblogs ever, but I’m gonna mention for a hot minute that in my studio art classes I took before uni and during high school when I still thought I may have been going into art for college collecting references was a REQUIREMENT or else you wouldn’t be allowed to carry on with the project at all. They actually counted towards a small part of grade in fact. Yea proving that you were not just winging it counted for something. They wanted to know that you knew what you were doing so you weren’t just somehow guessing and pulling it out of nowhere… Anyone who says looking at references is cheating clearly doesn’t know what tf they are talking about. That’s just ridiculous.
Tutorials After Dark: Drawing Sexy Bits
If you ever draw your characters in more sexy situations (or even if you just draw them coming out of the shower), you want to get the body parts right, but this is an area where anatomic references and tutorials are often lacking. If breasts are depicted, it’s often one size and one type, and let’s not even talk about all the Barbie and Ken style crotches.
So here are some reference and tutorials totally for educational purposes only!
*Warning:* While these are all Tumblr and deviantART links, they are Not Safe For Work, click at your own risk.
Sephiramy’s All Purpose BOOBtorial: All about boobs, which totally don’t work the way many comic artists think they do.
Penis Tutorials and References: Peens! And lots of them! And here’s another quick peen tutorial/reference Did I mention these links are NSFW??
Vagina References: Not to get technical but these are more labia references. Eitherway, lady bits!
Girly Tips: a decent reference and tutorial of the female body (not quite as NSFW as the above)
Male Body Type Study and Female Torso Study: Two nice art studies of different body types/shapes (mostly safe for work)
Sex Positions for Boy’s Love Comics: As you may have guessed, that title’s translated from Japanese and this is a Yaoi reference, though it’s not too explicit.
Finding “couples getting intimate” references that aren’t too hardcore porny is kinda difficult. This tumblr, between-these–sheets, is a bit more tasteful and depicts more “romantic” encounters than your average porn tumblr. This tumblr is no more, I’ll try to find a replacement tumblr, or you can message me if you know of one.
Edit: If you’re looking for sexy comics, Sex Criminals is a ongoing series from Image Comics. You may also want to check out the Smut Peddler anthology, a collection of short, sexy woman-centric stories in a variety of art styles.
Alright, I’m gonna go clear my browser history. Hope these are helpful in your sexy art endeavors!
Part of a hair tutorial I did for Patreon last year! Figured I would post it now for anyone else that could use it.

my advice: have fun and play–play is learning | always be watching real life to see how things move | also be watching cool animations to learn from them | don’t wait until you’re ‘good at art’–animating will help you improve | it’s hard but so worth it when things turn out well, good luck!
