FAVORITE ART REFERENCES

Hi angels!! I've had a couple folks ask, so I threw together a little list of some of my favorite free art tutorials for anyone interested. These are primarily geared toward traditional media, but almost all of the techniques discussed can be applied to digital drawing/ painting as well. Under the cut for length and grouped accordingly (but let me know if you're looking for something specific)!

Basics: Mapping basic anatomy How to map facial planes How to shade anything Tips on composition Painting light

Portraiture: Color and value mixing for portraiture (inspired by Old Masters) Color mixing/ theory for skin tones (and determining value/ hue/ chroma) Color mixing for dark skin tones Painting soft features/ lighting Skin rendering Painting realistic portraits Fabric: How to draw drapery folds Every type of clothing fold Drawing clothes from imagination

Hair: Anatomy tips for hair How to paint realistic hair Fur: Painting long fur Wolf fur (Had to put this one in. You know why.)

listen to me, this is so so important: you've gotta get used to really giving it your 60% as a default. like don't half-ass it necessarily but try not to go over 70% or so of an ass. you'll feel better and live a happier more fulfilled life, and on the rare occasions where you do need to lock the fuck in you'll be able to pull off bullshit that the sad miserable wretches giving it their 100% can never dream off, because they're busy draining themselves dry and you have energy reserves to spare.

We all got that one mutual that be going through the most treacherous situations a person could endure and then posting a few minutes later about why such and such should get fucked through a concrete wall.

Mutual: my situationship partner just got caught in a tornado at a broken glass factory where they were cheating on me with my landlord who just increased my rent by 6000% and my pet marmot has a disease so rare they’re naming it after him and all my bones are becoming apricot jelly which I’m allergic to.

Same mutual 16 minutes later: Do you think Ronald McDonald and the Burger King ever explored each other’s bodies?

Wip Wednesday

Thank you for the tag @galacticsparkles 💚🥹 I have a few things to show this week at least.

Gently and no pressure tagging: @amoaliquis @pooyaaaaan @mogwaei @rosieofcorona

I've been having fun the last few days playing around with some stylization in my art, it's fairly quick and quite fun tbh not to focus on everything being perfect.

And a few more that are still in the WIP stage but that I made some progress on. I also planned out my pieces for inquisitor appreciation week, hopefully I can pull them off. 🥲
