this bear is for a tattoo for my husbando. he's coming together slowly, I've mostly been working on other things so he's been on the back burner for a bit.

20 ways to draw a more consistent character

TAKEN FROM HERE: https://sites.google.com/site/houseotwisted/junk/20drawings

1. Draw the most common appearance for your character. This is your comfort zone. (Color)

2. Draw your character from the front, the side, and the back. This is something called a ‘turn sheet’. It’s a little boring to do, but will be very helpful to you in the future to have on hand.

3. Draw your character from the front, the side, and the back, but have them in nothing but their undies at most. This is to show off how your character is built. Drawing nothing but a straight pant-leg with no structure under it is no way to learn! (Skip this if your character doesn’t wear clothes)

4. Draw your character at three different ages than they currently are. (Must be noticeably different. No ages: 4, 5, and 6, etc.) Color one of them.

5. BANG! Your character just heard a loud noise right behind them. Draw their reaction!

6. Draw a bird’s eye view of your character.

7. Draw your character feeling very happy. Show body language.

8. Draw your character feeling very angry. Ditto.

9. Draw your character feeling very sad. You know the drill.

10. Draw your character with a different body type than they usually have. This helps you map distinguishing features onto different ‘templates’.

11. Draw your character if they were the opposite gender.

12. Draw your character as a different species than they normally are.

13. Somebody has just handed your character a live duck. Draw their reaction. Keep them in character.

14. Mary Sue the HELL out of your character. (Due to being asked “What is Mary Sue?” several times, I have included a link to the evil that is Sue: [Click if you dare.]

15. Draw your character lifting something heavy. (no magic allowed!)

16. Draw your character in an opposite role than they appear in your story/continuity.

17. Draw your character doing something they enjoy.

18. Draw your character doing something they do NOT enjoy.

19. Draw your character in a dynamic pose that is not a profile shot (from the side).

20. Draw the most common appearance for your character. Color it. (Pssst! See if it improved from the first one you drew. I bet it did!)

Old Wacom and Windows 10

pro tip guys, if you installed Windows 10 and are crying because your old Wacom isn’t working and there’s no drivers for it, try just downloading the current drivers.

Drivers for Windows 7/8.1 from Wacom’s website brought back my pen pressure and everything seems to be working just fine now.

Mr. Jake Parker wants us to fill one sketchbook per month, and Mr. Sycra wants us to draw the same things over and over with small changes to train our brains. Well, here are some tigers!

Sycra talked about drawing a thing, noticing stuff you didn't like about it or might like to change, and then drawing it again and making those changes. You can tell that my left side tiger was first, and the other two were improvements.

... just kidding!  Left Tiger was drawn by my friend Sofia, who is an excellent artist for being six years old, if I may say.  Her tiger was totally inspirational though.  Bottom Tiger was first for me, then Top Tiger was a result of Bottom Tiger being a little lopsided and lined in a pen I wasn’t really feeling.

I bought a cheap set of gouache paint to try it out. I'm really excited about them, but I haven't been able to devote time to thinking about what I want to draw first. Tonight I finished all of these DIY wands for my friend's birthday and I sat down and scribbled up this sphynx cat. I'm gonna try to record the actual painting, maybe tomorrow, that way you can all watch me flail around trying to figure out gouache and colossally fucking up my cute kitty.
