Hey FolksPaul Here, Filling In For Meg On TUTOR TUESDAY! A Couple Things Not Mentioned In The Images

Hey folks–Paul here, filling in for Meg on TUTOR TUESDAY! A couple things not mentioned in the images above:

If you want to fact-check the hair claim (and enjoy some cat pictures), see my personal blog @whatsapatfour

I have a newfound respect for how much work these “TUTOR TUESDAY” posts take. (Meg makes it look easy!)

Thanks again Meg for the ones you’ve done so far, and we’re all looking forward to your return. Have a good one, everybody!

Hi! Is it really necessary to learn how to draw the actual skeleton first in drawing humans?

Hey! While I wouldn’t say it’s absolutely necessary to draw the skeleton per say (though I highly, HIGHLY, HIGHLY advise it!), I would say that it’s vital to understand the skeleton of any creature! I have this feeling (based on art experience, especially college) that people never really explain why fundamentals are important, and so there’s this sorta confusion about “Why are we drawing skeletons, why are we studying anatomy”, and that’s exactly how I always thought. I dismissed really taking the time to internalize skeletal/muscle structure and it took a very heavy toll on my work. I improved at a snails pace. The moment I decided to understand WHY something moved the way it did, and the internal structure beneath, I made leaps and bounds of improvement! Drawing and studying the skeleton/muscle will help you grasp how things work and I pinky promise you it’ll feel like you’ve found that secret MarioKart 64 shortcut and place 1st in the Rainbow Road, it’s great

I’m gonna do an anatomy of the thighs livestream tomorrow at 6pm California time! Join me as i talk through photo traceovers and do thigh studies! What fun!! I’ll post the link tomorrow before the stream

I always struggled drawing hands before anyone told me what to do. So here is a HANDy dandy drawing reference to see the steps on an actual hand. There are three big muscles in the palm. The thumb lump is most important because without it you’ll never even get the shape right. Circle up the knuckles and draw bendy lines (red) to connect them. Make sure the fingers go from medium-tall-short-shortest just slightly (index=>pinky finger). Notice the big red squareish shape around the palm-that’s the first thing I do. Note: every infer has 2 knuckles don’t forget the thumb does too…just in a weird way.

Help. here. o v e IDK IF THIS WILL HELP BUT AJKSNCJKSN here u go.(thicc thighs save lives(don’t let this be the only work of mine y'all reblog, I know u tumblr. I KNOW U.)

Made a quick tutorial about drawing brick walls. In step 2 I wrote “horisontal”, but it is “vertical”. Whoops.
