When I Tell People How I Got Good With Drawing, I Get The Same Reaction That Saitama Gets When He Told

when i tell people how i got good with drawing, i get the same reaction that saitama gets when he told genos how he got super powerful. when I first started drawing i couldn’t draw for shit. i traced printed dragon ball z posters everyday until one day…i realized i wasn’t tracing anymore, i was doing it from memory.

Late last year I wanted to start a series of short tutorials called Tip Jar, as a way of saying thanks to my fans and giving back to my patrons. This is the first of the series I have made, showing my technique on quickly filling in lineart so you can get to painting without coloring outside the lines faster. 

Someday I hope to turn these into video tutorials when I have the income and the time, but for now I hope that I will be able to share useful tips in this infographic format.

Please allow me to walk you through my creative process:

Sometimes it starts off as a simple exercise: can I draw an expressive face?

“Nice!” I think to myself. “But…now I’m curious: what has her so terrified? What might possibly-”

“Okay, but this leads into another question: how did he get up there?”

“Of course. We have a reaction (surprise) to an effect (lizard) with a cause (man), but now I want a motive for this story to complete it. Why did he throw the lizard?“

heres some information ive learned recently about various historical boob holders if you were interested. 

these arent super specific to decades or anything like that and there’s lots of variation and stuff, so this isn’t the best reference for making a specific historically accurate costume/character design but its stuff i thought was interesting to know

Hey windy if you feel up to it could u give us some tutorials/refs on how you draw the shorp™ clawed hands? Like it would be a blessing since I love how you draw those great murder weapons. Also: you are real great and I hope the universe treats u well

god im very not confident with this cause i legitimately bullshit everything. i tried to do a bunch more hands/angles but they all ended up looking too shitty to be understandable haha

i hope this helps tho…. hands,, hard

Draw a usually dangerous/aggressive creature having a casual cup of tea with a human. They talk about their problems, the human listens quietly as they sob about their wife leaving them and taking the children.
