someone asked me to do a little thing on how i draw arms?? i. should have thought about the writing more, i’ll do that if i ever do one on hands. basically, i just keep a few anatomy tips in my head and then do whatever the character needs most!! 

sorry if this isn’t too helpful, but it WAS fun. i love drawing arms+hands

[idahlrillion]

This is how I draw hands. I simplify the shape and then later I will add the necessary details. It makes it easier to get them right. But the only way to learn how to draw hands is to just keep drawing them.

For anyone who wants a free pose-able human reference for drawing

The other day I came across this awesome program by accident (I don’t even remember what I was actually searching for, but on the several times I’ve looked for a program like this I’ve had no luck). It’s cool enough that I wanted to share it.

It’s called DesignDoll (website here) and it’s a program that lets you shape and pose a human figure pretty much however you want.

There’s a trial version with no expiration date that can be downloaded for free, as well as the “pro license” version priced at $79. I’ve only had the free version for two days so far, so I’m not an expert and I haven’t figured out all of the features yet, but I’ve got the basics down. The website’s tutorials are actually pretty helpful for the basics, as well. 

Here’s the page for download, which has a list of the features available in both versions.

There are three features the free version doesn’t have:

Can’t save OBJ files for export

Can’t download models and poses from Doll Atelier (a sharing site for users; note that the site is in Japanese, though)

It can’t load saved files

The third one means that if you make a pose, save it, and close the program, you can’t load that pose/modified model later. You have to start with the default model. I found that out when I tried to load a file from the day before (this is why reading is important…). Whether saving your modifications (and downloading models and poses) is worth $80 is up to you. 

But, the default model is pretty nice and honestly if all you’re looking for is a basic pose reference it should work fairly well as it is. Here’s what it looks like:

There’s a pose tag that lets you drag each joint into place and rotate body parts. The torso and waist can be twisted separately, and it seems like everything pretty much follows the range of movement it would have on an actual human.

Even the entire shoulder area is actually movable along with the joint! See, like how the scapular area of the back raises with the arm:

The morphing tag is one of the coolest features, in my opinion. It lets you pick and choose from a library of pre-set forms for the head, chest, arms, legs, etc. It has some more realistic body shapes in addition to more anime-like ones. Don’t like the options there? Mix a few to get what you want! Each option has a slider that lets you blend as much or as little as you want into the design. 

So you, too, can create beautiful things like kawaii Muscle-chan!!

The scale tag lets you mess with the proportions and connection points of different joints. This feature combined with the morphing feature not only allows more body shape variations, but it also means that you can do things like make a more digitigrade model if you want. (The feet only have an ankle joint, but for regular human poses that’s all that you really need, so whatever.)

Or you can make a weird chubby alien-like thing with giant hands and balloon tiddies if that’s more your thing.

The ability to pose hands to the extent it allows is far more than I could have hoped for from a free program. Seriously, you can change the position of each finger joint individually, as well as how spread out the fingers are from each other. Each crease on the diagram below is a point of movement, and the circles are for spread between fingers. 

And to make it a bit more convenient, there’s a library of pre-set hand poses you can pick from as well, and then change the pose from that if you like. 

In both versions, you can also import OBJ files from other places for the model to hold, like if you wanted to have them hold a sword or something.

Basically, this program is awesome and free and you should totally check it out if you want a good program for creating pose references.

I just wanted to add a little more to this. If you have trouble figuring out how light sources work in your drawings this also allows you to choose where to have a light source.

That shaded ball on the left is your light source. You can see how moving the point changed the shadow cast.

Oh and all those other nifty looking things in that bottom bar there, yeah it’s what you think. You can change the model color to one of these presets or even customize your own palette.

Plus for all you lovely people who want something a little more simplified to use as a pose reference

You can turn your model into the classic wire frame.

Why reblog this? Because for more visual creators, this will be like the lumberjack discovering chainsaws. “Reblog to save lives” as the saying goes.

[endlace]

I’m sure this has made some rounds, but I’m gonna drop it here, anyway, for folks that might need it.

I was inspired by Countdown to Countdown by Vel to make my own demiflower OC thing. ヽ( ´ー`)ノ

@velocesmells

Bio

Name: Magnolia Le

Race: Vietnamese

Gender: Cis Female

Sexuality: Bi

Age: 18

Personality: She gives off a confident aura, however, she’s extremely jaded and guarded for reasons no one really knows. Despite being distant however, she can be extremely professional and diligent Due to her cynical nature, she’s often quite lonely. Her most admirable trait is her ambition being that she always drives towards the future.

Ability: Abnormal strength

Why did I choose these traits?

Fauna: I’m aware that someone has already created a “Magnolia” OC, however, when I got inspired to create an OC of my own I could only think of the magnolia. Not only is the magnolia my favorite flower, it’s proved to be a large part of my identity as a person. The magnolia is a large part of my childhood, heck, the street I grew up on was named magnolia. 

Race: Why is she Vietnamese? Well, I saw Magnolia as a projection of who I wanted to be, and well, I’m Vietnamese, however, it also ties in with the flower. When my family first came to America fleeing a war-torn country, before I was even born, my extended family had scrapped together enough money to buy a small humble house which my grandmother would own and we would all come back to when we branched off. In the front yard, we planted a small magnolia tree. That was over twenty years ago, today, that tree is over double the height of the house. I remember pulling up pictures of my parent’s wedding and they had taken a picture next to that tree when it was shorter than them. My cousins and my childhood revolved around that tree, gathering leaves to create piles and throwing the “pine cones” (we thought it was a pine tree) at each other. To me, the magnolia represents everything my family was and what we have grown to become now.

Ability: Why did I choose strength? Before the magnolia tree had been fragile and cute. Now, the magnolia has grown tall and so strong that its roots had broken the concrete surrounding the front yard. 

Personality: I wanted Magnolia’s character traits to reflect me as well as represent my family and the ambition it takes to flee to another country without a single penny.

I didn’t think it would be that deep oh shit sorry. I think like 2 people might read this.
