This is my first attempt at coloring and line art, but I kinda like how she came out. Except for the hand, of course.
She looks so good! I’m so happy! 24 hours later and I’ve got something I like. Hopefully I don’t screw up the line art and colors.
I’ve gotten a lot better at drawing heads/faces and I couldn’t be prouder!
Super crazy helpful! Especially that part about the irises.
I made a tutorial! I hope it is helpful. Some of the styles of eyes are from Studio Ghibli,Sailor Moon, Pokemon, Dangan Ronpa, Fire Emblem, Ace Attorney.
Please ask me if you have any questions! <3
This is so wrong and disgusting.
ATTENTION QINNIART FANS!!
AN EGYPTIAN COMPANY STOLE QINNI'S ART TO TRY TO PROFIT OFF OF HER PASSING! THEIR "EVIDENCE" IS QINNI SAYING TO PUT IT ON THE BACK BURNER! NOT AN ACTUAL YES! THIS IS COPYRIGHTED WORK AND THIS IS VERY PROBLEMATIC! THIS IS LIKE JAYSTATION WITH ETIKA'S DEATH. SO, NO MATTER WHAT, DO NOT SUPPORT MELON4NOTES OR PARTNER COMPANIES! SPREAD THE WORD!
It’s both anxiety inducing and nostalgic. Wtf
If fear was a song
Stop bullying artists
No one should feel too scared to post fan art.
No one should be sweating over their color palette making sure the shades match exactly so they don’t get labelled a racist.
No one should be judged because others don’t understand lighting, shading and color theory.
No one should feel unsafe sharing something they labored over for hours because others assigned to them “a need for proper representation”.
No one should be shamed for drawing their own interpretation of a character or world.
No one should be bullied for fan art that others deem inaccurate.
No one deserves this.
You have received a visit from Jotaro’s hat not assimilating itself into his hair, this only happens once every 100 years, reblog and you will get your own stand in 24 hours
Ania!! Please, I beg you!! Could you give some advice on how to do expressions and different angles of the head? I'm really bad at drawing but you inspired me and...oh god this sounds so stupid. I'm sorry, I love you and your art, hope you're doing well!
hello! Thank you so much.
Angles
so for the different angles of the head, its very important for you to know the proportions of the front view before drawing different angles. There are many different ways of starting the front view but I will show how I always start it out.
always draw a circle (this is for ANY angle)
Draw a cross on the circle, the horizontal line should be drawn at the bottom of the circle, i would say between the first 1/3 and ¼ of the circle.
Draw the chin, and jaws and connect it to the horizontal line at the top
the nose should be at the center point where all the lines meet. The top of the ears should be where the eyebrows are (its ok if its eyes instead as well, I do that most of the time) and the mouth is aligned with the jaw.
same rules apply with any angle;
start with circle again
draw the cross (see how the cross curves against the circle, think of the circle as a sphere and not a 2D shape. Heads are round like a sphere)
draw the jaw and pinpoint the ear (directly under the jaw)
then draw the cheek (remember that cheeks CURVE!) and the mouth still aligns with the jaw and the nose aligns with the bottom of the ear. Remember that the nose and mouth should always align with the chin. the distance between the eyes should be another eyeball the same size. the eyes should be a tiny bit closer to the opposite eye than to the ear, leave some space but not too much.
side profiles are the trickiest for me
circle again with a line on the edge of the circle
draw the chin and jaw, chins curve! necks do NOT go straight downward.
same alignments again as front view and ¾ view
please know that when you draw the actual face after sketching, you do NOT have to draw exactly as how the sketch is drawn. sometimes the drawing looks better if you dont completely follow the alignments etc, as long as it isn’t TOO wrong. if that makes any sense. Now that you know the alignments, you can apply to these rules to any head angle!!
if you want to draw people looking up or down: when you want to draw a person looking up, place the ears lower than usual. also if you look at the red circles next to the faces, the curves are much more bendy(?). when looking down, the ears are placed higher than usual and everything curves the opposite way.
Expressions
you just really need to exaggerate every feature on the face and you need to know how to read expressions.
remember that eyes are probably the most expressive feature (eyebrows too!).
in the first face, you can tell he’s in thought because of the way he furrows his eyebrows a little bit and his mouth is slightly tilted to show confusion or in thought.
in the second face, you can tell he’s uninterested/not amused etc because his eyebrows drop to a straight line and only half of his pupils are shown. His mouth hangs a little open too just to add a little bit to the expression :D
you can tell he is angry here because the way it sort of explodes movement? His hair is everywhere, his whole head thrusts forward from his body, his pupils contract and his nose wrinkles up which shows aggression.
he is embarrassed here by the worry in his face. he’s looking down and head is sort of hiding away while his shoulders rise which usually shows signs of no comfort.
basically, you need to be able to know what each expression does, how to read them and be able to put that in a drawing!! study them! lots of great examples here (x) (x) (x) (x)
So helpful. Like, my braids have dramatically improved.
first attempt at drawing a hand in over a year
How do you draw hands? I'm trying to find my art style and I really like to draw cartoon-y people. I also suck at drawing hands haha
Heads up, I’m still figuring out how to draw hands too (half the time they don’t even look like real hands lol). But here is my very basic guide for how to hand:
There’s a bunch of different ways to draw a hand “in action” (aka, holding stuff or making gestures or whatever), which is something I might cover in a future tutorial if I ever get around to doing that.
I dunno, man. Hands are hard.

Best thing ever

steps to be cute:
you are already cute!
yes, you reading this!
it would be nice to remind others they are too!
I really needed to hear this.
For anyone who needs to hear it:
Your late teens/20s are a weird time in your life. Don’t panic if you think somebody is more “ahead” than you. The concept of being ahead is nonexistent anyway because life’s not a race and each person has different hurdles to overcome.
It’s totally fine if you’re single. It’s fine if you’re still finishing school. It’s fine if you are still looking for a better job, or for any job at all. It’s fine if you haven’t had sex yet, or haven’t gotten your driver license yet. It’s fine if you haven’t gotten your own place yet. It’s fine if you are still figuring things out, saving money, putting the pieces together. It’s fine.
Don’t feel jealous of or lesser than people your age who have done these things. You don’t know what obstacles they faced to get there and they don’t know what you’ve faced. Don’t undermine the progess you have made.
Because, trust me, you have made progress. Even if it hasn’t materialized yet in the traditional way.
You are still young. Like really young.
You got time.
Such a mood!
Looking at your homework for this week like…
I’m so ready for this game!! ❤️❤️❤️
Child Unit
We were all blind! We assumed that there were no child units in Three Houses because they were hiding from our notices. Look at them and tell me they are not children!!
My paternal instincts are kicking in. I want to pat their heads and make them boxed lunches.
This is awesome!
Ah, path of radiance/radiant dawn wallpapers make me feel nostalgic.
