Hi, hello, hi. Art question! How do you do gore so well cause I’ve been try to figure it out, and it’s so damn hard, lol.
Could you give an explanation or something plzplzplzplzzzzz? Ty :3
Hope you’re doing well -anon
Here's a nondescript gut, and all the layers of it separated:
First off- guts are shiny, the more wetness effect you can achieve the better! ✨ Secondly, organs aren't just red and pink! The more colours you can add into the organs, the more realistic they'll look: Blueish, grey, dark red, browns, purpleish, a faded or muted pink, etc.
Now- of course, if you're going for something more "fun" or a cartoonier style, this doesn't technically have to apply! 💚
Here's some gut colours, and what a little blood and shine can do to them!
Smudge tools and highlights are your BEST FRIENDS with gore, and honesty the lazier your smudging, the better, guts are messy, so make a mess!
I grew up in a hunting family, so I did always have good reference material on hand! <:]
If you can stomach it, great references are: 🩸
Medical injury forums/images
Tutorial videos on how to clean/dress an animal you’ve caught hunting (gutting and skinning tutorials)
Gory movies!
That sound a lil too out of your personal comfort zone? More good references are: 🥩
Raw meat! Raw meat is a great reference for how muscles work, and how they are supposed to look colour-wise and otherwise!
*There’s quite a few organ meats (offal) that people consume! So honestly, just search images of “organ meats”! You’ll get a variety of gut colours, beautifully plated, and possibly garnished ✨🍽️🌿
Other people’s art styles! Look at a bunch of internet images for Goretober or just study an artist’s gore style you love! Compare the way multiple people draw viscera, cuz there’s no right way! :D
Gory video games / look up some horror game death scenes!
More fun touches, if you’re going the realistic route, are veins and fat deposits! :] ^
See the use of different gore colours and the veins, in this piece?
I can also do a mini tutorial on blood splatter, if you guys want. But there’s also tons of even more in-depth ones out there! Just search up blood splatter tutorials! 🩸 I like to make my blood and goop, stringy, when it comes to guts -v-
I’ll say once more, there is no right way to draw viscera! This is just how I do it, and what I can provide from what I’ve learned! Have fun!!
Now go forth and disturb people! 🩸✨ /j
