A master post of Thomas Romainās art tutorials.
Thereās not enough space to post all of them, SO hereāsĀ links to everything he has postedĀ (on twitter)Ā so far : 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12.Ā
Now that new semesters have started, I thought people might need these.Ā Enjoy your lessons!
Hello friends, this is the long awaited tutorial on Line-Quality, Art-Style, and Same-Face-Syndrome.
Line-Quality is improved by building Muscle-Memory.
You build muscle memory through Drawing-Exercises.
Art-Style is developed over time through Observation and Routine.
Routines such asā¦ Drawing-Exercises.Ā
And now forā¦ the Ultimate Drawing-Exercise-Routine!
Itās called Snake-In-A-Basket!!
Draw any kind of snake inside of any kind of basket. You have 5 to 20 minutes to complete it before each/every Big-Serious-Illustration to tackle. No more, no less time!
Draw itā¦ NOW!
(my example that I drew in GIMP)
Art-Style is not necessarily what you think it is. A fairly common style issue discussed in artist circles is the inability to draw the same character twice while retaining their likeness or the lack of uniqueness which makes our art (recognizable) distinguishable from anotherās āoh! YOU drew this!ā.
Here are the fastest pathways to attaining the elusive Art-Style:
Repetition!!!!!
Recurrence-of-Thematic-Elements (everyone is sad, robots, someone is always shirtless, etc)
Same Color-Palette used for everything you draw
Same-Tools (line width, brush set, same paper, canvas size)
or Same-Program
(examples of palettes!! you canāt go wrong with having a rainbow)
Some Amount of Explanation:
If you draw on the same size or same scale (A6, A5, A4, A3 | B6, B5 | Letter) or in the same orientation (Landscape or Portrait), it helps you learn Composition intuitively by training you to make use of the space you have. Also itās easier to print out and frame if you draw on common photo print sizes 4x6, 8x10, etc.
Even if you make a lot of use of Blend/Blur and youāre more of a Painter than a Cel-Shaderā deciding to use a Set Personal-Default-Color-Palette instead of randomly choosing them on the Wheel/Triangle-Thing will still give you enough stable consistency.
Onto the next thing!
Same-Face-Syndrome is normally caused by one of two things. If itās not one then itās the other: Same Shapes or Same Details.
To make noticebly different characters you have to Exaggerate.
Circle, Square, Triangle, Rectangle? Short, Wide, Tall, Thin?
Before you try your hand at drawing any Face or Body Type, draw another Snake-In-A-Basket first.Ā
You think Iām joking?
No. Iām not.
So to wrap up, you need to Warm Up to draw, you need to make a color palette and stick to it āor just use the same Crayola pencils, or the same kind of Bic pen, same kind of sharpie, .7 or .5, and have themes like āplaid flannels for everybodyā orĀ āhoodies and jeansā. Find those things you can execute consistently, like hatching or stippling, and if you like it, stick with it!Ā
Hope this helps!
Now draw a SNAKE-IN-A-BASKET!
OK to make a font out of your own writing
go here
http://www.myscriptfont.com/
instead of printing it off just use this blank thing that way you dont have to scan it or anything
so fill that out by pasting it in any art program and whatnot
then save it and upload it to that site
and itll give you an option to download it
so do that and then install it BAM
I JUST GOT THIS ON MY TABLET ITāS SO COOL OH MY GOD
for some reason it refused to recognize the third page of my letters but they were all pretty unnecessary mathematic things anyway so Iām not too worried. still something to keep in mind though, I hope it doesnāt happen for you!
paintfont.com would be a good place to go to quickly make a custom font for your comic!
ehh
It looks just as horrible in real life..even worse with the letter attachedā¦
Iāll try this later.
you can also use alternative alphabets
Welp. Guess I know what font Iām gonna be using for comics from now on. B)
Welp. Looks like I have to do this now. So I can use this for Tengriās asks.
For some reason there is no apostrophe in my set, but it still looks cool.
NEAT THING ALERT
The site is now calledĀ https://www.calligraphr.com/en/Ā but itās basically the same!
No more melted tomblerones or mising skulls, yyeann!
This is my basic process for pretty much everything I draw. The key is understanding the shape of the garment youāre trying to draw and the shape of the body part youāre putting it on.
Drawing the body first forces you to make the shoe, hat, or clothes fit that body. With practice youāll be able to skip some steps. This method works the same no matter the perspective or pose. It just relies on your knowledge of what a hat looks like from above, or what the bottom of a shoe looks like. When in doubt, just google refs. Donāt necessarily need the exact angle youāre trying to draw. Look at different pics to give you an idea of how it works in 3d.
Shoes are always a bit tricky because feet are a stupid ass shape.
It might help if you think of hats as a cylinder fitted to the personās head to help you get the perspective right before you push in detail. note: heads arenāt circles. theyāre kind of egg shaped if you look at them from the top.
HOW TO: Male Torso Anatomy - BACK by tincek-marincek
Some things Iāve taught myself through out the years. I have not gone to college for art or comics, these are things Iāve learned by just trying to make comics by myself.
Drawing Legs Row 1: Left, Right RowĀ 2 Row 3 Row 4 (Source Unknown) Row 5 Row 6 Row 7
The curves of the human figure are offset, or opposed to each other. This is something beginners often get wrong.Ā
Boy do I ever need this reference! Iām realizing my drawn women look like the first one.

All digital art that is going to be printed should be set to at least 300ppi, or pixels per inch. Thatās the MINIMUM for a hi-res, quality art print. These numbers are 150ppi, which is half the minimum. So while you can print out 150ppi images at these sizes, thereās a good chance that thereāll be blurriness and/or pixelation and definitely a decrease in quality.
So for a full-res, quality art print at 4ā³ x 6ā³, itās best to enter it in inches and set the ppi (sometimes also called dpi, which stands for dots per inch and is the printerās abbreviation for the same thing) to 300. But if your art program only lets you enter pixels, that would be 1200 x 1800 pixels, which is calculated simply by multiplying 4 by 300 and 6 by 300. If you look at the above numbers, youāll see that the numbers given for a 4ā³ x 6ā³ print are half of that.
Hereās how that looks in Photoshop:
Okay, irked graphic designer rant over.
Got lots of comments on the berry I painted in this picture. I hope this can help you learn a thing!Ā
as requested by officialbmansur
this is just a rough paint and it looks pretty cartoony, you can make the water far more realistic by making the edges neater (and by using reference, of course)
Tuesday Tips - Floating Hands I use this a lot when storyboarding a first pass of a sequence. Placing hands in the right, most appealing position can be tricky. In order to create a clear silhouette for the hands, I often draw themĀ āfloating in the airā. Then, using my general knowledge of anatomy, I justĀ āfill in the armsā. This way I can create a much more expressive and clear pose than if I was just radiating out of the torso. Thatās when structure and anatomy can get in the way of a clear message. And hands carry a lot of meaning, so I want to make them as clear as possible Ā for my audience to see them. I would say the same applies to life drawing. Since they often donāt carry the body weight (legs most often do), I feel like i can take the freedom of changing their position slightly to make a better visual statement. -n

Iāll also do some notes on perspective and dynamic posing later. (Weāll see how dynamic posing goes considering Iām not too great at it myself soā¦ yeahhhh.)
