spider friends from today :) first one is most likely a tan jumping spider (Platycryptus undatus) and second is also a jumping spider of a different species! fast little rascals..
[image id]
first photo: a zoomed out picture of a tan jumping spider, which is a small, brown and grey spider facing upwards, in the center. the spider is sitting on a light brown tree trunk, with pine straw in front of the tree.
second photo: the same spider but close up and facing downwards, on a light brown piece of bark.
third photo: a zoomed out picture of a twin-flagged jumping spider, a small, black and white spider facing upwards in the center. the spider is on a medium reddish brown tree trunk, and the left fourth of the photo shows the ground and street behind the tree.
fourth photo: a zoomed out photo of the same spider facing upwards on the same tree, but it is further up and to the right. this photo shows the back of the spider more clearly.

[Image ID: Two close up photos of two birds on a dogwood tree branch. The bird on the left is a juvenile cowbird, which is a greyish brown colour. The bird on the right is an adult male northern cardinal, which has a red coloured body with a black circle around the eyes and beak. Both photos have a white, translucent watermark in the bottom left corner, which reads ‘xrinsu 2022′. In the first photo, the northern cardinal is stretched left toward the juvenile cowbird, and has his beak in the cowbirds open beak.

going to upload some photos later. will attempt to add my own image ids under a read more cut- please let me know if they make sense and are appropriate ids when i post them!


You can print things at 150dpi but anything lower than that comes out pixellated.
300dpi is the minimum setting I use for drawing digital and printing from digital. The higher the pixels per inch the better the print is. It applies to scans too! Scan at 300dpi minimum.
Hope this helps!
How I Study Anatomy
Everyone says NEVER TRACE!! THAT'S ART THEFT! Ok but we can do a little crime in the name of Learning.
Trace to learn, not to earn.
I like to take my own photos, but you can study whatever you want. Link back to original photos, and don't post copied artwork unless the artist is dead, cool with it, or both.
As always with learning, start every sketch with the intent to throw it away (trash for paper, quitting without saving for digital) This takes the pressure off and lets you make Bad Art, which is very important.
So let's make Bad Art of a Deer because I happen to have one handy
Start with a photo of your subject in a nice/neutral pose with all four feet visible. (so not like me)

Freehand copy it. Try not to stylize, focusing instead of matching proportions and pose. Don't get too detailed!

It's ok if your art looks terrible and has broken legs. I've drawn LOTS of deer so I have a leg up. Everyone's art sucks in their own eyes and here's where mine went wrong:
Either lasso-distort (recommended for beginners) or redraw a copy of your first sketch with your reference behind it (scaled to match the main body of your sketch)
Put the original and modified sketches together and compare the differences. Write it down if you want. This shows you where your eyes saw things the wrong size, so you can correct for that next time.

After learning about both deer and yourself, try freehand copying again.

Marvel at your newfound knowledge and skill!
but there's always room for improvement

You can stop here and move on to your real drawing, Or do another freehand-fix-compare cycle. I actually overcorrected my "draws heads too big" and veered into "heads too small."


Another note on tracing: Learning HOW to trace is more important than anything you could learn By tracing. Draw the Anatomy, not the outline. In real life, things don't have outlines, they have bones.

These are from the same shoot which is extra useful for consistency. The lines are minimal and follow where the animals joints are, and only important parts are drawn.
You won't know what Important Parts means right off the bat, which is where in-depth study comes in. You need to do learn the hard parts to do the easy parts right.
Next up: how to study bones and muscles.
