Art Tutorial - Tumblr Posts - Page 3

posted this on twitter, so might as well do it here.

i always thought it was funny how everyone agreed on shadow's shoes being difficult to draw, i used to struggle w them too, but it's actually more easier than it seems! the key is to visualize the correct shape first and draw the rest of the shoe around it.

the shape of sonic's shoes it's more closer to a triangle type of shape while shadow's is more like an oval.

here's also a video of how i drew the shoes in case anyone needs a more visual reference :]

hope it helps!!!!

I was asked for a sort of complete tutorial on how to draw Sonic so here’s a thing strictly about his eyes. Hopefully this helps anyone out there :) Next in the complete tutorial: Sonic posing

Did a small #tutorial for class on “How to Improve Storytelling in Panel Layouts”! Thought it might help some peepz around here!

Comic Book Page Technical Specifications

This is a post for comic book artists preparing their pages for their publisher or colourist. I’m aware that many pros still don’t know some of this stuff, often because the bigger publishers have production teams who will take the incorrectly sized or shaped pages and adjust them before passing on to colourists or for print. However, this a) is giving more work to people that you can easily do yourself and b) reduces the amount of control you have over how your work is printed. It makes sense to provide files that will present your work in the best way possible.

So, the basics of a digital page file:

Do you have any tip of drawing Sonic characters body?

They're very bean-shaped, so that's now I usually divide them lol

That bean shape can usually be broken down into a top and bottom half, or loose circles (torso and waist). Usually it's a sorta tear drop shape that flows into their legs, like with Sonic/Shadow/Knuckles, etc. Tails has the opposite, and has a little more weight to his body, almost like a malleable bean bag. Characters like Vector are sorta the outlier, because their spine flows straight into the back of their head. Once you get that S curve down though, he's not too difficult.

Not sure how much this helps, but just a little breakdown that I personally use

SONIC POSING NOTES!!!!! !!

Just gonna repost this image because it is relevent. Once you got your stick man pose you can add those shapes on top.

Anyways, more notes, this time on the base shapes.

And that's all that came to mind. I'm working on an expession one too, they've been pretty fun to make.

two (2) people asked how i did the matchbook thing so take this

this is just a simple idea but if you spend some more time you can get real krazy with it:

making fake prints is so fun please do it immediately free resources under cut xoxo

More notes. They are not in order by the way. There is still more stuff to say about the world building/drawing/exploring topic. I just haven't gotten to these notes yet.

This one is about lights but it's in progress as well. Feedback is welcomed

I might be doing this solely so I can surely look back at this when I need it for drawing an OC.

Either ducking way, CHERISH IT.

A guide to designing wheelchair using characters!

I hope this helps anyone who's trying to design their oc using a wheelchair, it's not a complete guide but I tried my best! deffo do more research if you're writing them as a character

i keep seeing a discourse in the art community recently about whether an artist should omit or change a character's features based on their style.

my take on that is you don't have to sacrifice a character's feature to fit your style; it's supposed to be the other way around.

in order for us to get rid of the same-face syndrome, we must be flexible in what we draw and how we stylize a reference.

i did a quick portrait study and added notes on each process. remember that this isn't a one-size-fits-all tutorial and feel free to only take what's best for you.

Ooo that's an interesting question I'm not sure how to explain it so here's a quick tutorial

Will I get flagged for this? 😿

STIMBOARD TUTORIAL!! BUT DON'T FORGET ABOUT THIS ONE!

So my sibling asked how I do it, so here's a tutorial on how I make my stimboards! There is no right or wrong way to, this is just how I do it! The way I do it is listed below.

Since this was a 2 person thing, he sent me links. If no one is there to send you links, search up "__ stim" on mobile yourself! I prefer mobile at least because not every image saves as gif on computer.

Got all my images plus some tutorial ones, so now it's time for trial and error! Make sure that you have your sources and middle image(s)!

It took me 3 tries to get it right. The stimboards I post are the perfected versions.

Save these to computer or wherever you may be making them, know the format. I like to put these in a folder I don't use. I recommend having what your board is and then what the stim themes are, you can just type those as you go. Since I use this way, I just number them so they're easily organized, then highlight them all and put them here.

Final result, JACK x DAVE (DSaF) STIMBOARD WITH THEMES OF GEMS, MAKEUP, SLIME, GLITTER, HEARTS, AND NEON LIGHTS. REQUESTED BY: @thepizzeriasys (which is my awesome sibling. Go follow them)

as promised (thumbs up) heres a lil uhhhh simple breakdown of how i general do fur things! can be applied to hair in general and also clouds and grass depending on how you work it (thumbs up pt2) feel free to request other tutorials

have fun w/ this

Woe, my passion project be upon ye-

And that's it! For Now!!

Thank you so much for reading and i hope it comes in handy for any of your wingies needs :3 This took me... a While, more than it should've, but is finally here! And maybe i've been slacking a little on the tagging for this blog specifically, but i recommend besides reading all of this, to go check my Guides tag, as i'm missing a few little things here and there that i couldn't for the life of me find a way to explain, and i've already re-done this Way too much for my liking o(-(

But you can also just go around this blog to get some inspiration :o I got a Lot of different wing styles here, and again i gotta go back to tagging (and fix my blog web theme, don't worry about it—) but other than that, you're free to explore this lil blog of mine

Two last things—First, i did all of this for free, i want it to reach as many people as possible (which is why soon-ish i'll translate the entirety of it to spanish and add image descriptions to both versions, i need a break....), but if you liked this enough and would like to leave a lil' tip on my kofi (@/rainbowpinyata), i would appreciate it a lot... Second, my inbox is always open if you or someone you know is in need of a more in-dept explanation on any of the parts of this, as i had to resume most of the info, or just needs a little bit of advice. I'm gonna explain wings Much more than i already have on the next part, but that... is going to take a bit, so...

Anyways, many thanks to my friends for always being there for me, i don't think i would've gone past the first draft or the many others after that without their encouragement, suggestions and general help with keeping me going. It means everything to me.

Also, click for better quality pls, the pages are pretty big but... this site....

How do you plan your sketchbook pages , who to draw, and what do you use for references?

To make pages look complete i fill the empty spaces with more drawings or stickers, it's a freestyle 'technique' really

Usually i start a new sketchbook spread if i already have a digital piece in mind

There's no hard mind work, just drawing whoever inspires me at the moment cuz it's fun

When i decided who i wanna draw here i choose a palette depending on the vibes and lay out bigger parts of the composition with paper or paint

I have all my paper scraps sorted by color so it's easy

Then goes the most interesting part is that i make up some poses and try to draw the portraits/figures using references that i collected

Can be photos of ppl, my own selfies or sculptures/3d models - it's a great way to learn and use your imagination at the same time

The last thing i wanna say is that there's no point in rushing your art, i take long pauses to rest my eyes and have a fresh look to notice any imperfections or additions i need to make
