Drawing bases & pose references pt 136💖
there's 4 extra poses for patrons today, including 2 flirty poses and 1 throuple 🫶
hiiiiii could i kindly ask what brush/brushes did you use to do the locs in the last piece? i absolutely love the look of them
you absolutely may ask!!
the base brush is from puu's textured hair pack v.1 for CSP + some minor adjustments from me:
Cupid's Curse...
Reference sheet for your commission references!
So, It can be stressful not knowing exactly what the artist wants from you as a commissioner, especially first timers, so I’ve whipped up a lil something! (gotta say, this is what I want as an commissions artist, can’t speak for anyone else!)
REFERENCE GUIDE 💖
- So first thing, I personally prefer having a PDF/word/page doc or a google doc for references, rather than loose images on an email. It’s much easier for me to find the information I need and not have to go from tab to tab! If that’s something you can’t do, let me know when you email me and we can work something out! - In that Document, written description and visual references are key, both are preferable! I’m happy to charge a little extra to work from written description only but Visuals (sketches, previous commissions, photos) give me something to base off, so I don’t spend the whole time researching for your piece! Colours, patterns, face claims are all helpful!
the following info is generally what I need (you’re welcome to copy paste this into your doc!) :
VISUALS
Age/Race/height/body type:
skin colour/ scars/ freckles/ skin conditions etc:
eye colour/shape:
hair colour/style/decorations:
Any additional details (prosthetics limbs/no limbs!/tattoos/piercings/wings):
CLOTHING
brief description of any clothing, their colours/pattern :
ITEMS: (items such as weaponry, jewellery, bags, accessories and or animal companions!)
PERSONALITY
Brief personality description (are they suspicious, happy go lucky? What’s the general vibe?):
Background information that could be important in the design (their ancestry, where they come from, any inspirations?:
any preferences on posing/expressions:
EXTRAS
If there is more than one character on your ref sheet, please separate your descriptions/images out by character for ease. I’d also want to know the character’s relationship to each other; family, friends? enemies to lovers? are they physically affectionate to each other? How would they interact in this scene?
if your commission has a background/scene, visual and written references are brilliant along with the vibe you want for the scene and time of day! Below is a badly sketched Ref of what all this could look like!:
Keep in mind, the sketch is only a guide, if you have more than one page of visual refs, that’s cool! As long as you can get the info above (and anything you think i’ll need) into a single pdf/google doc format, you are good! This is just very helpful for me too, since i struggle with too much info at once while i work. Any questions are welcome, hope this helps! Going to link this to my commission sheet too! Thanks and i appreciate you all! 💖💖💖
I made a Room Building tutorial! Lemme know if it helps! 🧡
Tip me here| Commission info here!
restructuring my commissions and increasing the prices!
Next week: i start streaming again!
F2U character sheet templates
A friend of mine was having trouble making reference sheets for her characters, so I made quite a few!
I figure these could be really useful if anyone else was struggling too, so these are all F2U
They could be really useful for Artfight, so keep that in mind :)
drawing extreme angle moufs is the bane of my existence so i made a mouth model for csp ^_^
Make illustrations, manga, comics and animation with Clip Studio Paint, the artist’s tool for drawing and painting. All you need for drawing
^ youll need v4 and 500cp to download it from the asset store but if you dont have that ill put it up on kofi tomorrow as pay what you want and itll be the glb file itself which can be brought into more versions and also you can adjust the shape keys in blender and then re export for the versions that dont support shape keys. but i have a migraine so you have to come back tomorrow for that
okie it is up on ko-fi now! :]
CSP has many tools for assisting with drawing the head at different angles, but for me, the most difficult thing to draw is the mouth in dif
I wrote a tutorial on how to set up a deviantArt-like art gallery on a neocities (or other static site) come check it out:
It was a lot of work to put my art gallery together and get it working, but because I didn't see literally anything on creating such a gallery (other than ready-made templates) I decided to write up a tutorial hoping it will help others who want to code a more robust art gallery that goes beyond just using a simple slideshow/lightbox. Each image is its own post, like how deviantArt works.
This is a draft of the page where I copied my existing posts just to fill up the gallery and see how it fits:
and this is what my individual post looks like:

anyone have a good place for references of fat faces/bodies? rly frustrated trying to find fat faces and double chin side profiles for drawing references bc clearly ppl think that's a 'bad angle' and every place i try searching for it, all i get is people talking about how to get rid of double chins 😭😭😭
I'm pretty sure @adorkastock has quite a few fat faces and bodies both here and on their website's free gallery!
Edit: Found the section I bookmarked awhile back!
Yes and also @fugitiverabbit runs FatPhotoRef.com ♥
Looking at some of your work, it is stunning but it is very similar in style to AI artwork, do you have any recommendations for how to tell apart photography like yours from AI.
I've been thinking about this. And this may sound controversial at first, but I'm hoping people will hear me out.
We should stop trying so hard to detect AI art.
I think we should all lift that burden from our brains.
I have often talked about "woke goggles." Where conservatives have lost the ability to enjoy anything because they are hypervigilant about detecting anything woke. They've cursed themselves into just hating everything. All they have left is the "God's Not Dead" Cinematic Universe.
And I worry people are getting AI goggles now. They are so concerned about accidentally enjoying robot art and hurting artists that they have overcorrected to the point where they are hurting artists.
One cannot say "AI is all soulless slop that always looks bad" and then accuse a real artist of making something that looks like AI and not hurt them. By doing so, it includes the baggage of all of the "slop" comments along with it. This crusade is having collateral damage to the very artists we are trying to protect.
Yes, we need to be cautious about malicious AI images. Misinformation and deepfakes are going to be a big problem. People using AI imagery for profit is already a mess. But if you are cruising your feed and like a cool sci-fi robot gal or a photo of a waterfall and it turns out to be AI... that's fine.
It was trained by real artists and AI is going to create some cool shit because of that.
Honestly, I think a lot of the worst slop is because the dipshits creating the prompts have no artistic taste. People keep blaming the AI for how bad it looks and often don't consider it is a product of the loser who published it.
There is plenty of non-slop out there that has fooled me. And, like it or not, it is going to get harder and harder to tell what is AI. Until there are better tools or better regulations, I don't think there is much we can do to avoid enjoying AI art every once in a while. If only by accident.
Current "AI detectors" are mostly a scam. Even the best forensic-level AI image detectors struggle to stay above 70–80% accuracy across a wide range of models and image types. And that's in controlled lab conditions.
Free online tools often drop to near coin-flip accuracy (50–60%), especially with newer image generators and post-processing applied.
The best way to avoid AI imagery is to look at an artist's body of work. It's much harder to create consistent, non-obvious fake images in a large sample size. That is usually enough to have confidence in authenticity. Plus, if they have posted similar art before 2022, you can pretty much rule out any shenanigans.
Otis literally died before genAI was available.
But images you see in the wild, just let yourself enjoy them if that is what your brain wants to do. It'll be okay.
I just think we are attacking this backwards. If we want to protect artists, we need to support them.
Calling out random AI art does not support them.
It does not put money in their pockets.
It does not grow their audience.
Over a decade ago I tried to lead a fight to create better systems of attribution on websites like Reddit and Imgur. I even spoke to the Imgur team after an article was written about me.
I asked them to allow sources on their posts and to develop tech that would help people find where an image came from. They said they were "working on it" and it never manifested.
IMAGE SHARING SITES STEAL MORE FROM ARTISTS THAN AI.
But we just kind of accepted it. No one really joined me in my fight. The prevailing defeatist attitude was, "That's just the way it is."
I think now is the time to demand better attribution systems. We need to be vigilant about making sure as many posts as possible have good sourcing. If an image on Reddit goes viral, the top comment should be the source. And if it isn't, you should try to find it and add it.
Just to be clear, "credit to the original artist" is NOT proper attribution.
And perhaps we can lobby these image sharing sites to create better sourcing systems and tools. They could even use fucking AI to find the earliest posted version of an image.
And it would be nice if it didn't require people to go into the comments to find the source. It could just be in the headline. They could even create little badges "made by a human" for verified artists.
Good attribution helps artists grow their audience. It is one of the single most effective things you can do to help them.
I literally just got this message...
There are maybe 10 popular artists who I helped grow their audience early on. Just because I reblogged their work and added links to all of their social media. I even hired my best friend to add sourcing information to every post because I believed so much in good attribution.
Calling out AI art may feel good in the moment. You caught someone trying to trick people and it feels like justice. But, in most cases, the tangible benefits to real artists seem small. It impedes your ability to enjoy art without always being suspicious. And the risk of telling someone you think they make soulless slop doesn't seem worth it.
But putting that time and effort into attribution *would* be worth it. I have proven it time and time again.
I also think people should consider having a monthly art budget. I don't care if it is $5. But if we all commit to seeking out cool artists and being their collective patrons, we could really make a difference and keep real art alive. Just commit to finding a cool new artist every month and financially contributing to them in some way.
On a bigger scale I think advocating for universal basic income, art grants for education and creation, and government regulation of AI would all be helpful long term goals. Though I think our friends in Europe may have to take the lead on regulation at the moment.
So...
Stop worrying about enjoying or calling out AI art.
Demand better attribution from image sharing sites.
Make sure all art has a source listed.
Start an art budget.
Advocate for better regulations.
You know... who says art has to be consistent? Art output, style, medium, subject... And who's telling you it all needs to maintain the same quality? Walt Disney? Did Wilty Walt tell you that you need to mass produce your own art at a high rate and consistent quality for him? Industry has damaged the way we think and approach creating. They made it... too approachable, too unachievable. Letting yourself Make Something for the sake of making something no matter the outcome is arduously cathartic. That style you've been thinking about? That medium or idea? Go on. Try something new. It's ok. Walt Disney is dead. You're free
How do you take reference images? Are they done by someone else / you in the room or is there a timer on the camera?
I want to make some references for my art, but I can never figure out how to set up the camera well to take photos, so any advice would be appreciated! Your references are also super useful!
Yes I take most of my own photos. I have a home studio:
But I started off just shooting against a hanging sheet or a plain wall so you don't NEED a studio. I just had a point and shoot digital camera with a timer:
You want form fitting clothing that contrasts your skin and the background. A lot of times these days I just use my phone (Pixel 7a) to take photos. Most of the time if it's still references the phone is good enough. I have a little tripod I can put my phone in for a quick shoot:
You want the phone to be mostly upright and the lens to be about in line with your belly button if you're not doing stuff with perspective and foreshortening. You can use the front facing camera so it's easier to frame the shot and see what you're doing. My phone has a timer (5s or 10s). I set it for a timed release then I can get to my post, open my hand palm forward. The camera will detect it and start the countdown. Different phones might have different remote trigger options like sometimes you can yell "Cheese!" at it. I'm not kidding - search for your phone and remote camera options and see what it can do! Here's a basic set up for doing your own refs. I have a plan to do a more in depth version of this (a video maybe?) but I haven't made time yet.
When I'm doing action stuff and things with a lot of movement I use my DSLR (Nikon D5500) with a remote and a large flash. You can see the remote in this photo, it's tucked under my bra. I just set the camera for remote release. I only get 2s though. My phone would be less good at getting this kind of shot so for these, the big camera is needed. Some phones might actually catch action like this though! The big flash also helps a lot here.
A lot of newer phones have wide angle lens options on the front facing camera which can be really fun for perspective. I have a bigger, taller, extendable tripod I can use for stuff like this.
I encourage everyone to take your own refs! You don't even have to show anyone the photos (but honestly we'd love to see them >_>) I hope this helps!! 🥰
