Old art.

I'll be back...or not.

Hi, my commissions are open again! Reblogs are greatly appreciated!

With twitter being down in brazil, a lot of brazilian artists like me are struggling to get jobs and commissions. It was a big platform to find clients, so until bluesky truly takes off or twitter comes back in brazil it would mean a lot to me if you could share this post.

Happy 2023 folks! I'm late on Tumblr, but hope you enjoy my bunny trio!

28. Knowing that each drawing you do improves your artistic skills, it fills you with DETERMINATION.

So I probably shouldn’t be dispensing advice on this subject given that I draw fingers with anything from zero to five knuckles apiece depending on my mood and I frequently put knees in places they shouldn’t be, but here I go anyhow!

I don’t exactly have a calculated, methodical approach to drawing the figure. Most of the time, I try to nail down the movement and emotion in a pose before I even begin to think about the accuracy of the anatomy. If I worry too much about constructing a perfectly-proportioned figure – at least in the preliminary sketches – it tends to suck a lot of the dynamism out of my work. When I do thumbnail sketches I try to make my lines as long and free-flowing as possible, without getting too hung up on little technicalities like the fact a person’s legs are not typically five times the length of their torso (I usually fix these mistakes later on. Y'know. Most of the time). Just about the only things I’ll try to pin down in these quick sketches are the angles of the head, shoulders and pelvis, the midpoint of the torso, and sometimes the curve of the spine, just to make sure my poses aren’t too far outside the realm of anatomical possibility. Once I’ve gotten a pose to the stage where it expresses the mood or motion I’m going for (which usually takes several different iterations), then I’ll start to work out where all the various parts ought to be. Which isn’t to say I won’t make bones curve and joints bend in totally improbable ways if it suits my purpose.

So having just re-read the above, I feel like it’s really not particularly helpful. I guess I owe whatever skills I’ve acquired to trial and error rather than systematic study, so my working process is about three parts total chaos to one part vague instinct. But for anyone just starting out, I can’t overstate the importance of studying from life. This doesn’t necessarily mean you should take life drawing classes (although they’re great, and I wish I’d taken more) – just watch people as they walk or ride bikes or light cigarettes or lift heavy boxes and try to build up a basic mental model of how the human body works. Pay attention to people’s body language and various quirks and mannerisms and file them away for later. I think I owe most of my artistic ability, such as it is, to having constantly observed the people around me – far more so than the time I’ve spent actually sitting down and drawing. So, y'know, everyone thinks I’m a creep and I never get invited to parties, but on the plus side I’m able to make an extremely meagre living by drawing silly pictures. Everything’s a tradeoff.

If you have no idea what to draw...

its like having all the money you wanted ,but you dont know what to buy. Making this to look at when I get stuck with lame ideas. These are all suggestions from my followers:

Taking a break:  No option for me but it surely can be good for other overworked peeps

Exploring new art forms: depending on your art style, surrealism would be something I’ve never tried before.

Shape game: Either sketching blindly and connecting the dots or sketching random shapes  and fill them with faces or whatever comes to your mind.

Draw something you never drew before:  …a good picture…

Draw a shark:  How to draw a shark by Will Terrell 

Read books:  Let your mind to the picture first and then your hand.

Poses:  Action poses - freestyle dancing - fight styles - (dancing people in general)- life drawing - online 3D model

Redoing Artwork: Either your old stuff or from your favorite artists, your way.

Reverse storyboarding: take your fav movie and sketch the the shots after every camera change.

Screencaps: study them, draw them, look at composition

Characters: Let your OC’s do extreme expressions, let them do things (driving,cleaning,running,etc)

Concepts: How people could look like on other planets. Look at Character Design

Planing an art project: A comic in my case, thinking about environments and characters etc.

Drawing upside down: ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿

Fanart: Illustrate your favorite book, series,Manga ,etc

Sideblog: Gathering all the references for all your needs
