Artist tips! (Part of a series)

Part 2: Pose help! 3D assets.

I recommend life drawing classes but drawing still images can be very helpful as well. 3D websites exist to aid artists, there are many but these are ones I have used and recommend! These are free and don't need to be downloaded.

Pose Maniacs:

A 3D asset website where the figure is in a still pose but they have different options and view points.

Magic Poser:

A 3D asset website where the figure can be posed and moved around in different ways.

Blender:

This is more advanced but Blender is good for posing props and 3D assets. It is also a free program and will have post dedicated to it, but I figured I would include it here. (Image from Skillshare Article)

Sorry if you get asked this all the time but how did you improve your art?

its okay! so for a long time my art felt stagnant until i started do studies. for me personally i focused too much on tying to copy others styles but bc i hadnt done my own studies i was just copying but not actually learning, which meant i coulnt apply it to my art in a consistent way. you can do art every day but if you arent actively learning its really hard to grow

for me i will pick out what feels like its lacking in my art and focus hard on that. if its anatomy, i force myself to draw hands, hard angles of faces, etc until it i was familiar with it all. poses stiff or it feels boring? fuck around with exaggerated poses and backgrounds. also please dont be afraid of using refs! after i got fundamentals down THEN id try other stylistic things

if i see art i enjoy now i dont just copy i try to pick out what about the art is actually making it interesting. if you really need to you can literally copy an artists work (not posting obvi) but if you learn how to study and break down art its very helpful. if you get good enough u can literally fake it till u make it

these videos may also be good starts!

Could I possibly have your animal pintrest folders

Im... New into the furry fandom and all-

There you go~! I admit, I didn't share the link earlier because I know there's probably a lot of miscategorized stuff and what is 'rodent+rabbit like'. It's very much made for myself and how I like to draw creatures that do not exist 🙏🙏🙏 I'll add the link to the original post too and delete this later 👌👌

Sorryy if this is a little vague but how did you learn to draw people so well? I struggle with faces and bodies cause I grew up drawing animals and I don't know how to get better

i personally learned to get better at faces by one thinking of it not as just a drawing but a 3d area with bone and muscle holding things together

also figuring out where things are relative to other features, for this, tracing helps and then u can try it again on your own

i traced this picture and this is all super surface level but it helped for me!

just doing a little of that can help a lot and it doesnt always have to be the same bc no face is really alike but keeping these things in mind do a lot. it might look funny bc its our eyes are trained to see when things are off but as you grasp it you can play around with style! theres no need to do hyper realism but studying real faces then turning that a stylized peice works better than starting with the style then working backwards

I love the rendering on your digital pieces! It's amazing how you can replicate the look of a thick-bodied (and expensive!) acrylic paint digitally. What program do you use? And do you have any tips?

THANK U SM!! I use csp and i mainly get that look from going back and forth blending, color mixing, adding opaque layers etc as youd do with real acrylic or oil paints. i also try to color things in large sections and try to keep it textured like oil paint so im just ading enough shading to show shape!

btw to my artist friends this is literally such a good resource for genshin references if u ever need one. it has spinnable 3d models that can be broken down into bits ^__^. Here it is!
