My Last Prompt On Late @sasori-mini-bang​

Sum art tips coming thru (note that I’m myself self-taught and I myself lack some many skills, but this is helpful)

I don’t know how much you’ve already heard, I think your art is cute, definetly a lot of potential and talent shining through, so

I like the way you draw cartoon characters (Invader Zim dog looks amazing, also little Max in the last one aawwww) and faces seem to be your strenght, like in Stolas fanart. I see you have knowledge about basics unless you’re just pretty good with drawing from refference, which is not bad at all; I’ll even talk about it later, but you need to tell why a certain line is there.

Try more dynamic poses. It’s best to start with contraposto (one leg resting, pelvis and shoulder girdle tilted) and some less complicated stuff. Not so long ago I realized runway fashion models (especially men) have basic yet captivating poses, made me realize I’m not drawing too big head, I just draw too short spine heh.

Use different kind and sharpness of pencils (cries in lost pencil set. I’m mourning you my HB, B2, F pencils). It’ll make sketch more clear and easier for you to erase and add lines.

Line weight for the love of God. Coined to the one above; lineart (and sketch in general) is more readable if you apply different weight e.g. far away stuff are thin smudges, single lines, areas with more shadow on them are thicker, details draw with sharper pencil than outlines.

You know this fancy lines you draw when doing a head (if you use circle to create head. My personal favourite, box method doesn’t suit me)? Yeah, let me show you something real quick

Treat you’re base lines as a skeleton, they’re a 3D objects put on paper, you can rotate them in your mind, you can dislocate joints and open a stomach.

When you wrinkle clothes think what and where they are resting on. Pants will be more likely to wrinkle in a joint areas while jackets on elbows and abdomen. So you know where it goes ~refference and observation~. The saints of art, even cartoon one.

That’s it for now, hope I helped. This answer took me long, I genuinely wanted to give some tips considering whenever I ask about criticism I truly want someone to answer and pinpoint what I need to work on, so posts like this are very important for me

i needed somewhere to dump my max drawings so i decided on here!!! B]

(constructive criticism is welcome + wanted!!)

Drawing gay dogs on ginecology and forgetting the eraser gonna be my new routine I guess

I'm really busy with college stuff, but I wanted to at least acknowledge the birthday of my darling special tree man. I love you tree man, happy birthday tree man!!

I'll try to finish it whenever I find the time :)

Since my freedom ends today (paramedic major goes brrr) I wanted to say thank you to all great artists who were feeding my hiperfixation with a trainwreck which is maxley. It sounds dump, but your fanarts and one fanfiction I’m still reading („Your smile doesn’t reach your eyes” by adropintime and InkyBoo) helped me ease the nerves after long days in ambulance and ER.

Here’s also a little collection I did during this vacation (wow 2-3 months and STILL can’t draw them)

Again thank you everyone who was here and participated in this chaos. This summer wouldn’t be the same without you, I’m afraid I couldn’t even lift a pencil if not you THANK YOU❤️🖤❤️🖤

Sunshine

why do i keep seeing whole videos on advice for artfight from “veterans” or whatever. here’s all the advice you need:

you don’t need to draw every day

you don’t need to fully render every drawing, sketches still count and the person receiving it will still love it

you don’t need a fully polished ref sheet for every single character, having a basic one or even just a colour palette along with whatever other art you’ve done works fine in most cases

you don’t need to draw a fully rendered piece every single day do not burn yourself out or injure yourself for funny little internet points good lord

boom done there’s your 15 minute video
