Books and sites I’ve collected over the years! 1. Anatomy • Anything by Burne Hogarth, though Dynamic Figure Drawing & Dynamic Anatomy are great for overall understanding of the form. He has books...
Just an FYI I have a page dedicated to art reference links, if anyone is interested! I try to keep it up-to-date with whatever I’m using.
A very simple skin reference sheet with a couple different sample skin tones and some color palettes as well. Feel free to use!
heres a skintone pallete!!! feel free to rb/use it!!!

had a friend ask me for help drawing dragons so i made a few tiny tutorials
i had a poll on DA so i will be doing basic how to stuff of the results
process for this drawing :)
And this is how I nose.
How to other eye
ALRIGHT, so, I know a lot of people have trouble making eyes match. Yesterday I found out a way to make it significantly easier! Here’s a small guide.
Well, first of all, you have your face. mark where the eyes should be on it.
Then mark the corners of the eyes and go over the middle again, to make the next step easier
Alright, I know it sounds a bit crazy, but draw this shape, trying to make it as symmetrical as you can.
Draw the eyes using that shape as a guide and TA-DA! They match! For different eye shapes you tweak the angle of the two guide lines.
And it also helps with angles where the size and shape of the eye is distorted, you just put it in perspective.
I think the theory behind it is that the thing that makes it hard to make the eyes match is the angle of the corners, and this type of guideline helps make them even, which makes the eyes look symmetrical. Welp, here it is! I hope it helps someone!
Some of you have been asking for a tutorial on how I draw faces so I threw together a thing for you. *finger guns*
art tips post
for all the artist following me
Have two sketchbooks: One for finished and high-quality art (stuff made with Prismacolor or Copic if you use that or art for your portfolio) and the other sketchbook for more messy doodles. This way you have a place to try new things and mess up as much as you need. When I only had one sketchbook I was scared to draw in it because I didn't want to mess it up
Do studies. I cant tell you how much I've improved just by doing studies of shoes, hands, noses, and all that. This works for when you have art block too since you’re not really making stuff up and just learning how real things work.
Learn from others. I’ve never taken a real art class because 1. I can’t afford it and 2. there’s no good art classes/programs at my school. I’ve been following several artists and learning from them over the years and they’ve helped me tremendously. Just please do not steal art because that is never okay.
Break down concepts. If you notice there’s something wrong with your piece then figure out why. You can’t get better if you leave mistakes and don't try to understand whats going on. If the color is weird figure out if the values look right or maybe its the saturation of the color.
Watch youtube tutorials. Here are some youtubers I think are pretty good art teaching all things art: Draw with Jazza | DrawingWiffWaffles | Proko | Baylee Jae
Have an inspiration folder/blog. Sometimes you just need a collection of starry nights or a misty forest or even a French bakery. All of those things can help you get inspired to draw. It could even be completely unrelated to what you plan to draw.
There are no dumb ideas in the creative process. If you want to draw a lizard in a dress go for it! If you want to draw various pastries with faces do it! Don’t let the thought of it being too dumb stop you because if I’ve learned anything in my several years of drawing it’s that an idea can lead to another and another and another and you may get a really good idea just from doodling dumb things.
Here’s a few things that can get you started on drawing better:
Dynamic poses | Dynamic clothes | Dynamic figure drawing
COMPOSITION | PERSPECTIVE | CONSTRUCTION
Anatomy:
Legs
Arms
Hands
Heads
Body (Female) (Male
Color Theory
Improving your sketchbook
Most importantly, don’t give up! You may not immediately get notes or followers but it’s more important you get better than to have popularity. How do you think those popular artists got to where they are now? To be good you’ve got to work at it.

Don’t forget to have fun!
Know your bricks!
Week One: Animals
Activities!
Day one: Freeform! Do whatever you want for the first day; make up an animal of your own, draw your favorite animal, study more on faces, whatever you want!
Day two: Study! Study for 30 minutes drawing along with line of action. Be sure to share the results!
Day three: Block it out! This activity is used to find simple shapes in the skull and features of your chosen animal! Bring it back to its basic form using tracing and see how simple it can look and still resemble the animal!
Day four: Poses! Practice drawing poses for animals like laying down or running! Take note on the bone structure and figure of the animal in different positions.
Day five: Expression Study! Using reference, draw a human expression on an animal face. Take note of bone structures and the way the jaw moves on the animal. Exaggerate!
Day six: Draw your pet! Take a picture of your pet and draw it as close to the picture as you can. If you don’t have a pet, search up a picture of a pet that you want and draw that instead! Study the position and anatomy of it.
Day seven: Challenge day! Combine two animals either of your choice or from this animal generating website!
