here is a master list of great art tools that can make your workflow easier! 👇 (consistently updating)

I put together a little tutorial on how I approach master studies!

There isn't enough space on the images for full alt text, so please view this document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GmDA4u4sqUoYxtRy7JMcIQ13xMSHO1HZqpsLbRCP_dk/edit?usp=sharing

Thank you for reading, I hope this helps! I purposefully had it centre on fundamentals that will apply to any study and software/brushes, but if you want to know more about how I painted any particular part/what brushes I used, feel free to ask.

In case you missed it, here’s a #TutorialTuesday someone requested on Twitter to go with last week’s process video on how to create a perspective grid from a photo (from Tomomi Sato) which you can use for studies, drawings, paintings, etc. Hope this helps with drawing/painting in perspective!!

Do you have any tips for drawing faces at interesting angles? I try to draw faces tilted up or down or to the side but it keeps going wrong and I end up reverting to something more stilted. You make it look effortless

the only reason why things can appear effortless is bc the illustrators put lots of effort into practice beforehand! my biggest advice if you're finding an angle tricky is to use reference images - i absolutely do this especially when the angles are more extreme than what i've gotten used to drawing 👍

as for a tip that might be helpful: try to think about the physical space what you're drawing would occupy - i've said this before, but thinking about heads (in this case) as a 3d shape with certain characteristics will help you understand what changes in the viewer's perspective (= what you put down on the page) when you turn it this way and that

whenever i start sketching a head i almost always include those convex lines to help me treat it as a 3d object:

What brush did you use for that Shiver sketch?

the hard pencil from this set, though i tweaked A LOT of the settings to my own liking, like the texture, size and density when i tilt my pen, angle of the tip, etc etc. i can upload my version of the brush to my gdrive if anyone wants it.
