A Cat Dragon that wanders around the internet.

Hello! :D I like Pokemon, The Legend of Zelda, Kid Icarus, and Puyo Puyo! I like draw pictures when ever I feel like it or can. Here's the account for my artwork: @Eligon-The-Neko-Dragon

Can't afford art school?

After seeing post like this 👇

And this gem 👇

As well as countless of others from the AI generator community. Just talking about how "inaccessible art" is, I decided why not show how wrong these guys are while also helping anyone who actually wants to learn.

Here is the first one ART TEACHERS! There are plenty online and in places like youtube.

📺Here is my list:

Proko (Free)

Marc Brunet (Free but he does have other classes for a cheap price. Use to work for Blizzard)

Aaron Rutten (free)

BoroCG (free)

Jesse J. Jones (free, talks about animating)

Jesus Conde (free)

Mohammed Agbadi (free, he gives some advice in some videos and talks about art)

Ross Draws (free, he does have other classes for a good price)

SamDoesArts (free, gives good advice and critiques)

Drawfee Show (free, they do give some good advice and great inspiration)

The Art of Aaron Blaise ( useful tips for digital art and animation. Was an animator for Disney)

Bobby Chiu ( useful tips and interviews with artist who are in the industry or making a living as artist)

Second part BOOKS, I have collected some books that have helped me and might help others.

📚Here is my list:

The "how to draw manga" series produced by Graphic-sha. These are for manga artist but they give great advice and information.

"Creating characters with personality" by Tom Bancroft. A great book that can help not just people who draw cartoons but also realistic ones. As it helps you with facial ques and how to make a character interesting.

"Albinus on anatomy" by Robert Beverly Hale and Terence Coyle. Great book to help someone learn basic anatomy.

"Artistic Anatomy" by Dr. Paul Richer and Robert Beverly Hale. A good book if you want to go further in-depth with anatomy.

"Directing the story" by Francis Glebas. A good book if you want to Story board or make comics.

"Animal Anatomy for Artists" by Eliot Goldfinger. A good book for if you want to draw animals or creatures.

"Constructive Anatomy: with almost 500 illustrations" by George B. Bridgman. A great book to help you block out shadows in your figures and see them in a more 3 diamantine way.

"Dynamic Anatomy: Revised and expand" by Burne Hogarth. A book that shows how to block out shapes and easily understand what you are looking out. When it comes to human subjects.

"An Atlas of animal anatomy for artist" by W. Ellenberger and H. Dittrich and H. Baum. This is another good one for people who want to draw animals or creatures.

Etherington Brothers, they make books and have a free blog with art tips.

As for Supplies, I recommend starting out cheap, buying Pencils and art paper at dollar tree or 5 below. For digital art, I recommend not starting with a screen art drawing tablet as they are more expensive.

For the Best art Tablet I recommend either Xp-pen, Bamboo or Huion. Some can range from about 40$ to the thousands.

💻As for art programs here is a list of Free to pay.

Clip Studio paint ( you can choose to pay once or sub and get updates)

Procreate ( pay once for $9.99)

Blender (for 3D modules/sculpting, ect Free)

PaintTool SAI (pay but has a 31 day free trail)

Krita (Free)

mypaint (free)

FireAlpaca (free)

Libresprite (free, for pixel art)

Those are the ones I can recall.

So do with this information as you will but as you can tell there are ways to learn how to become an artist, without breaking the bank. The only thing that might be stopping YOU from using any of these things, is YOU.

I have made time to learn to draw and many artist have too. Either in-between working two jobs or taking care of your family and a job or regular school and chores. YOU just have to take the time or use some time management, it really doesn't take long to practice for like an hour or less. YOU also don't have to do it every day, just once or three times a week is fine.

Hope this was helpful and have a great day.

Adding another free art program!

Gimp

This is what I learned on back in the day, and has many of the same features (some better tbh) as Photoshop.

If you support gay marriage reblog this. If you're on the homophobic side, keep scrolling.

[hhhhhorses]

As a bisexual, it sickens me that some people WILL keep scrolling.

I made a birthday gift for the EXTREMELY underrated and very talented music artist, Eskvy!! Please go check out his music! It’s outstanding! 🔥 This is a bit late since I drew this last minute, but it’s whatever. 🙃 I hope you had an awesome birthday Eskvy! 💙

Thanks to this app called MagicPoser, I was able to make the pose, lighting and the angle exactly how I wanted or else I would would struggle and that hand would not be easy to draw if I didn’t use this reference. Definitely recommend giving this app a try!

Happy Pokemon day! Thank you for the new memories!

I love this Fishy Fishy. ❤️ Chi-Yu is one of favorite legendary ruinous Pokémon from Scarlet and Violet. It’s so cute, yet so dangerous too and an absolute ANNOYANCE to catch. 🙃

[eligon-the-neko-dragon]

I NEEDED to draw my number one favorite character in Pokemon Violet, Director Clavell! 😸

I finished the game a month ago actually lol. Knowing the anime for Scarlet and Violet is coming this year and I am EXTREMELY hyped for it, I was curious on how well I could make Clavell look like he’s in said anime before it even comes out! 😺

I am so extremely proud of this drawing! I feel like this came out WAY better than I was expecting too! 🤩
