really helpful technique ^ once you know how to divide by halves and thirds it makes drawing evenly spaced things in perspective waaay easier:

tutorial idea: how to draw teeth / toothy smiles!! i think teeth are difficult for a lot of artists, esp me. im terrible with drawing smiles with teeth. So I would really appreciate if you made a tutorial for teeth! /gen /nf. Thank you.

Your wish is my command, dear anon!

->Gums show a little

→ Smiling pushes cheeks out

Mouth corners look like triangles with lil' hooks

A closed-mouth natural smile will show the top teeth only

There are four incisors (the flat ones) followed by a canine & five molars on either side

I usually group the incisons together fon a more stylised look

While smiling, the lips stretch and look thinner

Start with simple shapes and work your way up to detail!

Writing advice from my uni teachers:

If your dialog feels flat, rewrite the scene pretending the characters cannot at any cost say exactly what they mean. No one says “I’m mad” but they can say it in 100 other ways.

Wrote a chapter but you dislike it? Rewrite it again from memory. That way you’re only remembering the main parts and can fill in extra details. My teacher who was a playwright literally writes every single script twice because of this.

Don’t overuse metaphors, or they lose their potency. Limit yourself.

Before you write your novel, write a page of anything from your characters POV so you can get their voice right. Do this for every main character introduced.

This is legit good writing advice, especially the first bullet point! In playwriting class we did a bit where every bit of dialogue had to be an accusatory question and it was glorious.

also at the end when they ask you "any questions?" and you can't think of anything: ask about parking. even if you don't have a car.

Hello, love your art <3

I’m sorry if you’ve already answered it, what brushes do you use?

It's fine! Here it is!

handmade drawing references :)

I took these pictures mainly to analyze my hand structure. Feel free to use them for your art, if you'd like to!

I painted these color keys for this scene in Across the Spiderverse between Gwen and her dad!

The idea for the initial color palette was that because Gwen's world is colored by her emotions, she's cool blue despite the warm light of her surroundings - to symbolize her internal isolation from the rest of the world and her father.

Upon entering Gwen's room, we see an inverse of the color relationship that was set up previously. Gwen and her environment are in harmony, contrasting against her dad's warm colors. When they embrace, their colors mix together to create something new.
