Where Do The Submitted Palettes Come From? Like Is There A Site People Make Them On And Then Send Them

Where do the submitted palettes come from? Like is there a site people make them on and then send them to you? Also what's with the queue thing?

submitted palettes come from here: http://www.colourpod.com/submit

some people use a site, some people just make the palettes in an art program. you can see some sites here: http://www.colourpod.com/resources

the queue just means that i have the blog set to autopost a certain # of palettes a day and i add new submissions to the queue which is where the autoposting pulls from.

I made one of those lol

You can send me a few or reblog it for yourself

Hi! I have two questions! I am wondering what resolution you do your work on? :D I'm also wondering if you'll ever sell tutorials on Gumroad? I know people ask you to do Patreon stuff, but Gumroad might make you feel less obligated to constantly upload things for people paying so often, if that makes sense! I hope you have a wonderful day :)

Hey there anon! I always try to work with a resolution of 300dpi, (even more so if it’s a commission/paid work) and my preferred canvas size runs around 2500x2500 (8x8 inches) and up. :>That is a wonderful idea! I find Patreon to be such an overwhelming concept, so maybe I should look into that? I’ll certainly have the time for it by the new year. Great suggestion, thank you so much for it! ❤

Hello, just want to say I love your art, do you have any suggestions on how to draw poses?

I guess three things I think of when it comes to poses are line of action, straight vs curved, and weight. I’ll use this quick awkward doodle to demonstrate:

You probably know this one if you know animation. Everything in the drawing doesn’t necessarily have to stick to it, but its a good basis for the overall silhouette. Most examples I’ve seen stick to one line, but sometimes I experiment with two if I’m going for a more action-y, dynamic pose. Its best not to go over two (two is risking it) as that would just get too visually confusing.

This one is more for smaller details, such as the arms and legs. Its good if you want to go for a more stylized look, since real life humans never have completely straight lines anywhere on their body. It’s basically contrasting a straight line with a curved one so you get a clearer idea of where the volume is going. Check out this video if you want more info, which is where I referenced from!

An easy one to forget in my experience. A little trick we learnt in life drawing class is that in real life the nose should generally be parallel to where the most weight is, to make it look more balanced. You’ll notice too that the body gets more compressed where the most weight is, ie the left leg here.

Some of my own (colour coded) examples, although I’m still learning to apply these things ~

(Sometimes if the nose doesn’t line up with where the body is leaning, you have to balance it out with the limbs or other body parts. The amethyst one would not work if she wasn’t holding another character on her back)

I recommend looking up these techniques online or in art books as you’re bound to find more in-depth tutorials and examples. But overall I hope this helps!

I… made some notes on how I do panels.. I’m not sure if what I wrote makes sense but I hope it helps??

Important: This isn’t the absolute correct method in planning panels. Just mine.  (lol this might even be the wrong way;;;;; plsdontkillmetumblrartpolice)

Another tip, if you are having trouble with the anatomy (”Where does the arm start? Where does the leg end?? Is the hand correctly placed, or would it imply that the character has 10 meter long arms?”) either try to extend the drawing beyond the panel or create a thumbnail first.

That’s my 2 cents!
