Cleaning up my files and forgot that I had all these wing studies from circa. 2015 so thought, y’know what, I don’t need to hold onto these, so have this as a little gift from me to whomst ever needs some quick wings for their OC’s, AU’s, and Art.

I’ve recently changed the name of this blog from Pixi-Spit to South-Sinner. I no longer use the name Pixi-Spit anywhere. After the whole coming out thing in August I wanted to use something more neutral, so I went back to my ooooooold art tag from 2004 :) Also >w> new icon! It was such a goofy photo of Jaska I just had to use it!

An observation

I started working on this during the heat wave that hit the UK a few days ago. My boy may be nocturnal, but that’s not gunna stop him screwing up his sleep schedule to enjoy some sunshine and pool time! Carlos and art (c) myself

How do you draw teeth? Is there some basic shapes to break it up into?

I ask because I tried to find some how-tos after seeing your (fantastic) Stanley teeth, but the tutorials I found where either too simple or too detailed. The vibe was all wrong, lol

OH BOY ALRIGHT-

Below cutoff I'll go about explaining how I draw teeth.

Even if you aren't going for overly simple, I still think the most basic overall shape can really help! For me, that basic shape is:

This sort of half cylinder? It can help a lot with things like angles!

When it comes to adding more detail though. It completely depends on you, what your comforts are, and what energy you're going for.

For me I add the detail of an exaggerated canine with a hint of gums showing. This is because I think it gives off a chaotic, perhaps even feral energy and I absolutely love drawing that type of stuff.

I personally don't add full detail to the other teeth though, not usually at least. For me it doesn't feel like its needed. Most of the time I just need to show that teeth are present, which you can do with solid blocking. I draw teeth in this canine exaggerated way when I want to bring attention to them.

It depends on you and the current energy you want to convey.

Sorry, I tend to not know what to do when asked for art tips. Play around with how you draw things. I may have tried to share how I draw teeth, but do NOT view this as a "you MUST" or "the ONLY WAY" to draw teeth. Experiment. Maybe you don't want any extra detail at all, then solid white blocks it is! Maybe you want super detailed teeth, then draw out every single tooth I guess! Find where your comforts are.

As an apology here's a bunch of juicy teeth. Enjoy.

SO, I have been requested many a time to make tutorials. I don’t think I can ever make a “10 Simple Steps For Drawing X” style tutorial, but I can do lil things where I show how I think when I draw. So studies, more or less.

I’m not perfect, I don’t always know what I’m doing, but hey, that’s just art for ya! It’s subjective! Yes I happen to also work in an industry that uses some pretty strict rules because every position in animation from concept art to composition needs to know the tools to do good visual storytelling. While my art on this blog is just for funsies, I do use some tricks of the industry to enhance my doodles. (I say “tricks” but what I really mean is “fundamentals of drawing and visual storytelling”)

My studies are also not just for those who already draw! Never drawn a thing in your life but want to? Do it!! It’s never too late to start learning! Just start somewhere, that’s how to get creative.

Blue’s Feathers and Wings Compendium: Standard Wing Shapes

Wings Part 1 [Standard ]| Wings Part 2 [Atypical] | Feather Markings | Tail Feathers [Part 1] | Tail Feathers [Part2]

I have expanded the traditional 4 types; Highspeed, Elliptical, Low Aspect and High Aspect ratio, because they were very narrow and vague categories for the most part, adding High Energy, Thermal Soaring, Night Glider, and Passerine wings. I feel that these extra types make it easier to understand and visualize the differences and similarities between wing shapes.

I’ve renamed Low Aspect to Powered Soaring, and High Aspect to Dynamic Soaring for the purposes of the fact that names made it hard to understand purpose and were easily confusable. 

A lot of these wing types are also affected by tailfeather shape and size, and that will change their agility and energy expenditure as the tail also generates lift.
