I Got Multiple People Asking For Help With Eyes, So I Threw Something Together Quick

More cloth folding reference, this time a leather jacket. Note the big thick folds when the arms are moved.

Can you make like a little color picking tutorial, my drawings always look so out of place when i color them >.<

Okay so this is probably not the best coloring tutorial and I’m sorry ahead of time because I’m not the best at explaining colors nor am I any expert lol. I don’t actually use color palettes but I highly recommend them, esp to keep a whole artwork consistent with color schemes. You can easily just google “aesthetic color palettes” or “90′s anime color palettes” which is my go to types of colors heh. 

Anyway, I made an explanation/tutorial on how I usually achieve the colors on my art. There are plenty of other ways but this is some basics on filtering. 

And after that, if I’m not satisfied with the colors I just go to Filter -> and adjust the Hue of the opacity or the multiply layer. 

Once I’m satisfied, I just merge all the layers and clean the art up, sometimes I add even more colors and blend them. (This probably deserves an explanation on it’s own but I wouldn’t mind explaining how I paint! ><) 

And here’s somewhat of the finished art lol;;; (sweats)

Weekly art tip: Drawing folds! 

Hope you guys enjoy it  I’ve put a lot work to make this ^^

I tried to make it as simple as possible :)

your art are amazing and you're so talented! I would like to ask how to draw Castiel's wild chaotic sex hair:)

LMAO umm I think it’s easiest to part it on one side and then have it fan out from there with the front flipping up. 

thank you!!

Thought about doing a very simple step by step since I had some WIP pics laying around ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Most of the time I start working on a drawing by laying down simple shadows and highlights in black & white - it’s one of the easiest ways to see how they affect the scene (and my favorite too). I don’t like worrying about too many things at once, so taking little steps is very helpful to avoid ruining the whole image at the very beginning~ commissions | instagram - deviantart - twitter - paigeeworld - facebook

after eight years, I finally updated my huge Historical Fashion Reference & Resources Doc! Now in the form of a MUCH more easily updated Google Doc with better organization, refreshed links, and five more pages of books and online resources.

I know tumblr hates links, but it’s worth it for a doc that I can now update with far more regularity going forward! RIP to the original, you did your duty for far longer than you should have. 😔🙏🏼

Obviously, I’m not the best with drawing hands. But that basic shape helped me with drawing hands best. (Circle works for me too but not as good as that ‘fan shape’ my professor taught our class).

Don’t forget to keep practicing and using real life references–It’s the best way to draw good hands! Take your time drawing them! Don’t rush (unless you really wanna) It’s not a competition.

Got questions? Feel free to ask!

Some of my friends asked me to do this so I thought I’d share with you guys too!! Have fun drawing kisses <3 <3
