Hey! I’m Alorix!

I’m a autistic, gender-fluid character and creature artist! 

I do commissions and draw some neat things sometimes. 

I also am working on a novel series based on speculative biology. Its an inter-species romance series. 

I’ve been on here for a many years but can’t seem to get a following of my art. 

If you think you have followers who’d be interested in my stuff please give this a reblog. I’d really appreciate it. Thanks for your time! Have a good day!

Do you have any tips for thick brows? I can never make mine look good. Makes my mewtwo look like she has fancy eyebrows.

Well when I draw Newtwo or when I drew Lakotatwo, cause they're female they have more angled facial features and narrow brows that begin at the end point of their ears/horns

Whereas Mewtwo has rounder features so his brows are round also and don't exactly reach as high of an angle

Hey, I started working on humanoid faces but I'm still new to it. Do you have tips of advice?

sure! it depends on your style, but here’s some basic stuff that helped me

-it helps to study the skull and the proportions of the face - like how the edges of the lips line up with the eyes, how the ears begin at the eyes and end at the nose, etc. what’s bone vs cartilage and the like. knowing these rules can help you break them later if you wanna exaggerate stuff. they’re also diff when you’re a child vs when you’re an adult & change based on perspective, our features wrap around our head

-drawing people out and about at a cafe or on public transportation in a small sketchbook can help you with all sorts of features and ages and learn to capture likeness quickly. I had to do this a lot for school. I haven’t been able to in forever cuz of covid & wfh but you know, when it’s safely an option

-proko is an instructor and makes v helpful youtube videos to break down different parts of the body not just limited to the face. I also recommend tips from grizandnorm & other various artists who have a good understanding of anatomy who have tutorials online

-whenever I struggled with understanding a specific feature (like the nose, I couldn’t get the nose for the longest time) I just filled pages with that specific feature using photo reference. repetition will help your brain & hand unconsciously remember what those shapes are

hope that helps! I know how daunting it is, there’s so many little things to remember, but eventually you’ll get the hang of it & faces are my favourite thing to draw now. if anyone has anything helpful to add, feel free! 

EDIT: adding it in, but look up the loomis method! b/c when in doubt, the loomis method helps me get the head to look structured

I wanted to thank you for making the Basics video series. I recently go REALLY into Transformers and have watched your videos are least 3 times. They've become my background music while I draw Cybertronians.I even showed my dad a few episode and he was very interested in the vids. Thank you so much! Keep up the great work!

I’m glad you’re enjoying! The Basics is made with new fans in mind and from the “inside” it can be hard to know if I’m always succeeding in communicating the information clearly enough for them, so it’s always a pleasure to hear that it’s working - especially when parents can understand it too! :)

Can we see what Karen drew Dash? XD

She’s drawing Mr. Incredible, although given all the other drawings Dash requested it’s safe to assume she’s probably drawn all of them, lol.

How are you so incredible at drawing Turians?!

I’m very happy you like them spacebirdios! :3 gotta keep trying and getting better tho! Thank you for your words they mean so much! <3

So is Greta the Goblin girl gonna be an official character due to her popularity?

Maybe. Not sure when could I make her show up again but I’ll see if i can come up with something.

And as the usual standard goes, Progress Pictures! And now with a mistletoe to boot! Consider it a little something for the holiday season. I'm fairly certain I did something like this last year, I think these are getting better as well. Nevertheless, I give this mistletoe as a small gift to a certain few, as a means of saying happy holidays wherever ye may be and I wish you all the best. @feretta, @cuzimlazy, @ambris, @afallenwolf, I wish thee all the best and may your holidays be filled with celebration and good times. I'd also like to add that I'm certain i'm improving with my art and I smell like pine. I've been around christmas trees for like, 6 hours and the smell still lingers. Happy holidays, everyone!
