synth agh youre killing me with your kind words, im excited to show you all more!!
nyainou wah hello again!! im very glad u found it helpful TT_TT ya thats me... floating around like some kind of advice fairy. i truly wish i could help EVERYONE but unfortunately im only a human with limited time and energy and limited knowledge about certain things- i only wish i knew how to help ppl draw the best steven universe (i know, where did it all go so wrong) thank u for sticking around!!
i thought today i'd share a look at one way i do studies. sorry for the dogsh*t photo, i promise i moved mountains to make these legible. please just come to my house and view them in person instead. anyway these were made during the anatomyfebruary challenge in 2019. i followed along to a Proko video and paused and copied as many diagrams as i could, you can see some skeletal drawings, muscle diagrams, breakdown of structures, and observational drawings. its vital to have good observational drawing skills by just doing it a lot, and using contour lines to make sure your forms are uniform throughout. also repetition is key - i draw in pencil then go over it in pen to cement it in my mind. idk why it became embarrassing to draw the same thing over and over but its how our brains learn; if you look at any artists' list of works you'll see tons of almost identical drawings but they're all part of the process. tomorrow id like to talk more about what goes through my mind when im making lines, i hope you'll be interested to read it :3
