I didn't have internet for a while and I couldn't look up for hand references on Pinterest so I finally made good use of my 2k + reaction pics folder on my phone 😂 | Ko-fi

With those “when you want to design a character but you don’t know color theory” posts flying around I thought this would be relevant again.

there’s also Coolors website that gives you randomized palettes!

Don’t forget ColourLovers, either! It’s a social media-esque site where you can browse tons of palettes and share your own.

You can browse the most popular ones or search for certain colors, themes, and even specific hex codes!

When you find one you like, you can download a wallpaper swatch of it and also select the specific colors it uses to look at more palettes that use those same ones.

ColourLovers is my go-to for when I’m having trouble coming up with a color scheme! It’s also been around for over a decade, so there’s plenty to browse through.

Upon request someone asked for an anatomy tutorial! I kept it fairly general but if anyone wants something more specific, I’m happy to make a more of them :D

Little quick and light kimono tutorial because I’m noticing a trend of weird things non-Japanese people do with them.

Bathrobes =/= Kimonos

Kimonos aren’t sacred. They’re for everyone. Just practice drawing them, use tons of refs, be respectful, and have fun. There’s also tons of other types of traditional clothes you can mess around with. Research is your best friend

“Art cheats”. Or as we call them in the art world: “skills” and “techniques”.

(None of these are “cheats”? They’re just teaching people how to learn to do things? Or in some cases, introducing another way of thinking about how to do something, which often will work for an artist who feels “stuck”. Like, I get the impulse to be casual and hip about it, but I fundamentally see something wrong with encouraging artists to denigrate their own process of learning new skills or learning how to really make various digital art programs work. Don’t be down on yourself for having to learn! Don’t be down on yourself for looking up and following tutorials! “Real artists” are not born with the above knowledge just springing forth from their own minds! And you aren’t “cheating” by learning.)
