No bragging, just 100% floored and grateful. Work hard, maintain a positive attitude, and believe that anything can happen.

virgocity

So I reblogged this exactly a week ago because I thought it was funny and uh lo and behold, a family friend wrote me a big ol’ check just to help me out of a tough financial spot AND my bank refunded me $32 for fees they’d originally taken out. SO UH YEAH. Reblogging this again in hopes that it brings equally good fortune to my followers.

I need to pay for my trip

Really wasn't feeling it with Neo Alpha's colorscheme, so i did some editing and came up with something that, imo, looks much nicer. Also went through the trouble of editing the tubes(grills?) off since they look stupid and i have no idea what purpose they serve at all.

#Kamen Rider Amazons #Kamen Rider Amazon Neo Alpha #Einosuke Mido #Kamen Rider #edit

If Kamen Rider Fourze and Black Panther (T'Challa) met each other while chasing after a mook (a minion) of a Big Bad, what would their reactions be to seeing each other? Would they quickly work together in catching the mook?

probably something like this

probably less low quality, too

I drew the best boi

How to show expression with the mouth!

This was a request and at first I wasn’t sure if I had anything to provide with, but as it turn out it got a little longer than I expected because there were actually things I had to say!! Wow!!

Anyway, this is some guidelines I follow when I try to make the face expressfull, more specifically the mouth! It is often neglected, since it’s actually pretty hard, I’ll admit. But I’m here to help (hopefully…)! A mouth expression tutorial as per request. Enjoy and hopefully it will help some a little. ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ

Draw the teeth at the right angle.

This is super important. The upper jaw follows the angle of the head, and the lower jaw will depend on how open it is. Make sure you have a rough estimate of where the teeth are, and how much of them you’re going to see!

The lips will VERY roughly follow the same angle as the teeth. It really depends on the character, but it gives you a sense at least.

If you DON’T do this, you’re going to lose so much volume and the mouth is going to end up looking unrelatable. I showed this example in this tutorial:

It’s not just the lips!

The cheeks, chin, and tongue play a role too!

Try look at your own mouth or references! I have a very pliable and large mouth, so that’s one reason why my characters have it too lmao.

ASYMMETRYYYYY (ง ͠° ͟ل͜ ͡°)ง

I cannot emphasize how important asymmetry is when drawing expressions. It applies not only to the eyebrows to achieve the Dreamwork Face™, but also the mouth. Seriously if you draw a symmetric mouth I will deliver myself to your mailbox and then shout at you until you fix it.

Look at the difference between these two for example: which one has more “life”?

I think you get the idea.

Push and squish - give it flow

Here’s an old drawing I have but it illustrates how I think when I squish the mouth, and use folding and wrinkles to my advantage.

Look at your own face and see where skin bundles up, where it creases the most and when bumps appear on your chin. Subtle details makes all the difference!

One VERY effective detail is illustrated in the first sketch, where I pull upwards on one side, and downwards on the other. That’s a good detail to use when the character is making a skewed expression, or is extremely frustrated. I encourage you to play around with that concept bc it’s ~super effective~!

EXAMPLES:

Happy: Your entire mouth is pushed upwards, not just the corners of your mouth!

I tend to draw a :3 mouth bc I’ve been drawing Lance too much….. You don’t have to but it’s basically imprinted in my motor memory by now.

Pouting/frowning: corners are pushed down, middle pushed slightly up. Sometimes, there’s a slight dip in the middle too. It can give a sense that the character is biting their lips.

Showing frustration/intimidating/is intimidated: basically showing a lot of teeth. The corners are as open as possible and the middle sorta more squished. An extremely important detail here is showing some of the gums, and open space between the cheeks and teeth. That way it looks like the mouth it open to it’s full potential. Here is also where you basically MUST add folds and bumps, or else it’s not going to look relatable.

(Here I am again with the pulling upwards on one side and downwards on the other, as illustrated on the last sketch)

And then again, here’s just another doodle showing how important it is to show the gums. It’s the same face twice, but the second one looks slightly more frustrated doesn’t it?

(from my other tutorial on how to draw facial expressions)

As you can see, this last one is very versatile and I draw it a lot. Play around with the basic shape and see how much subtle details makes a lot of difference!

That’s it!

I hope that cleared some things up and was somewhat helpful! Enjoy drawing ✨

So I probably shouldn’t be dispensing advice on this subject given that I draw fingers with anything from zero to five knuckles apiece depending on my mood and I frequently put knees in places they shouldn’t be, but here I go anyhow!

I don’t exactly have a calculated, methodical approach to drawing the figure. Most of the time, I try to nail down the movement and emotion in a pose before I even begin to think about the accuracy of the anatomy. If I worry too much about constructing a perfectly-proportioned figure – at least in the preliminary sketches – it tends to suck a lot of the dynamism out of my work. When I do thumbnail sketches I try to make my lines as long and free-flowing as possible, without getting too hung up on little technicalities like the fact a person’s legs are not typically five times the length of their torso (I usually fix these mistakes later on. Y'know. Most of the time). Just about the only things I’ll try to pin down in these quick sketches are the angles of the head, shoulders and pelvis, the midpoint of the torso, and sometimes the curve of the spine, just to make sure my poses aren’t too far outside the realm of anatomical possibility. Once I’ve gotten a pose to the stage where it expresses the mood or motion I’m going for (which usually takes several different iterations), then I’ll start to work out where all the various parts ought to be. Which isn’t to say I won’t make bones curve and joints bend in totally improbable ways if it suits my purpose.

So having just re-read the above, I feel like it’s really not particularly helpful. I guess I owe whatever skills I’ve acquired to trial and error rather than systematic study, so my working process is about three parts total chaos to one part vague instinct. But for anyone just starting out, I can’t overstate the importance of studying from life. This doesn’t necessarily mean you should take life drawing classes (although they’re great, and I wish I’d taken more) – just watch people as they walk or ride bikes or light cigarettes or lift heavy boxes and try to build up a basic mental model of how the human body works. Pay attention to people’s body language and various quirks and mannerisms and file them away for later. I think I owe most of my artistic ability, such as it is, to having constantly observed the people around me – far more so than the time I’ve spent actually sitting down and drawing. So, y'know, everyone thinks I’m a creep and I never get invited to parties, but on the plus side I’m able to make an extremely meagre living by drawing silly pictures. Everything’s a tradeoff.

do you have any advice or tips for drawing arms T_T for some reason i can never make mine look, idk, natural? and yours are always so flowy and nice !!

HMM I don’t think i necessarily have any substantially new/ground-breaking advice, but it doesn’t hurt to serve as a reminder to consider the arms are also an important contributor of flow to your artwork’s composition as a whole..! If you plan out how you want the arms to work with your piece, you can essentially… mend the form a bit to work with how you want it to move. (Does that make sense?)

also, i think remembering straight lines against curved lines are a pretty effective way of conveying flow on the human form!!

Gesture tutorial based off this post, thought it could use some visual examples.

For inking a picture do you have any tips, like ink "this" and not "that"? I really like my sketch and don't want to ink it the wrong way and mess the flow.. or something like that

I would be honored to offer some advice here! Okay, so for this, lemme use as an example a simple but energetic lil’ sketch.

This guy will do nicely. Pumping his fist, he’s all excited! We wanna capture that energy and maintain it in the clean lineart.

This is what we SHOULD NOT do:

It’s… Well, it looks lazy, just from a glance. But let’s see if we can’t figure out WHY.

Number one, I didn’t keep very close to my sketch – in the process of “smoothing it out,” I actually lost some details that gave it its organic character. Number two, though, is the quality of the lines. They’re kinda all over the place – we could do much better, couldn’t we?

To do that, of course, we need to talk about line weights. Notice how the line is thinner and thicker in different parts of the image, yeah? A thicker line is, as you probably already understand, a weightier one. Our eyes are automatically drawn to the parts of the image that pop out and stand out from the rest of it. We tend to rest on the weightier lines, so having them in random spots like this… doesn’t help at all. The viewer won’t know what to focus on.

Typically, good practice is to keep the thicker lines to the outsides of the figure, with the thinner lines serving as interior details. I generally draw the face, clothes, and shadows (if they’re hatched or whatnot) with thinner lines, while I use thicker lines for my outer outlines.

In addition, weighty lines can be used to emphasize action. The closer a line is to the “camera,” the thicker it might be. Here, they’re… not really doing anything. There’s no variation in the lines where it would help direct the eye; it just kinda happens randomly throughout the image.

Now, let’s try doing a little better.

Ahhh. Now, doesn’t that read more clearly? Here, I’ve used thicker lines to emphasize the parts of the image that are in action and are the main focus – the pumped fist is closer to the “camera,” so it has the thickest lines throughout the image. There are slightly thicker lines on the underside of the figure to emphasize the direction of gravity here, and as lines are used to define smaller details, they get thinner and even taper to a point.

Of course, nicer lineart like this takes a lot longer, and sometimes it can also be beneficial to keep the line variation to a minimum (for more static images, or for character references, as in my character re-designs for Ghost Rider: Re-Imagined).

I’m really terrible with explaining this kind of thing, so i hope having a visual helped with it somewhat.
