IF YOUR ART GETS STOLEN

https://www.tumblr.com/dmca Go there, and do as the instructions say. When my art was stolen, I got the post reported, and it was taken down. Don’t worry, it doesn’t just take down the sources post, but it takes down all the reblogged posts too. Please give this a reblog, many artists out there may not know this is here. And remember, ask permission before sharing, or don’t post it.

THANK YOU!! <3 I’m always very bad in explaining what I’m doing. Cause there is just a lot of trying and painting over it and mashing and mixing colors until I feel it’s good. So I tried to show you. I hope this helps!

This week: Form follows function! You can tell a lot about a bird by its wings.

First of all, I’m not an art student/anatomy expert/seasoned professional so some of these methods might be pretty questionable and might not be the recommended way to go about drawing stuff

But anyway yeah here’s a bunch of things I bear in mind while drawing stuff and it helps to some extent. I learnt a bunch of these from some other art references online somewhere so I don’t claim credit for like discovering these amazing anatomical facts or something 

Hey more tips:

If you want to improve within a short amount of time you can use this nifty tool online: http://www.quickposes.com/ It basically gives you a bunch of poses and you gotta draw them with a time limit and everything so I do that occasionally

Also I’ve got a weird obsession with drawing hands like they’re one of my favourite things to draw somehow so if you wanna practice hands real quick then here’s what I recommend:

Ask your friends to give you a random hand gesture and sketch it out or like look at your own hand in crazy new poses and just draw that 

Basically draw whatever hands you see around you
