Just Some Tips.. ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

An anon asked me for an eye tutorial 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I highly recommend looking reference photos on the internet to get used to drawing different eyes, and also to take photos of yourself to get used to drawing different angles/expressions – Don’t just blindly draw the same eye over and over again, because without a strong basis of drawing by observation, you could get into some bad habits, and all your characters will look the same. :)

Here’s a few different ways I usually draw body types

Did a total revamp of Teru and changed up his back story. He still likes to felt animals though! Also, I just got an iPad which means TIME LAPSES YEEAAH. Takes way less steps than when I do it on my desktop.

Here’s my pretty boring and simple process

The page will be posted soon~

Hi. :3 I love your art and you're totally awesome! I just had a quick question. I saw your post about hair tips on Dean and Cas, and I was wondering if you had one for Sam. Thank you, it means a lot. ^.^

Sure no problem! Just part it slightly to the right and have the hair flow down from that line. Don’t forget his killer sideburns lol

How to other eye

ALRIGHT, so, I know a lot of people have trouble making eyes match. Yesterday I found out a way to make it significantly easier! Here’s a small guide.

Well, first of all, you have your face. mark where the eyes should be on it.

Then mark the corners of the eyes and go over the middle again, to make the next step easier

Alright, I know it sounds a bit crazy, but draw this shape, trying to make it as symmetrical as you can.

Draw the eyes using that shape as a guide and TA-DA! They match! For different eye shapes you tweak the angle of the two guide lines.

And it also helps with angles where the size and shape of the eye is distorted, you just put it in perspective.

I think the theory behind it is that the thing that makes it hard to make the eyes match is the angle of the corners, and this type of guideline helps make them even, which makes the eyes look symmetrical. Welp, here it is! I hope it helps someone!

I’m not an expert but I like hands a lot so hopefully some of this was helpful!

Artist Resource: Bodies in Motion

I came across this site that (if you subscribe) offers high-res  frame by frame photos of people jumping, flipping, kicking, dancing, etc, so you can easily analyze each position the body goes through to complete each movement. I think this can be an excellent resource for gesture drawing and reference for all manner of artmaking. It is $49 a year for the basic plan, and that gets you access to the high-res photos and a few other features.
