I Know I Asked This Before But Honestly I’m Desperate, How Do You Draw Folds? I Understand Pressure

Anonymous said: Your art is so natural and expressive, I love it! I was wondering how you go about cuddles?? Or just fitting two people together so it’s not awkward or stiff looking, it’s something I’ve struggled with but look to your art to see how you solve it. I was wondering about your thought process when organizing a drawing like that (I hope the English is okay!)

Thanks! ^^ When I read your first question I thought you’re asking about real cuddles :’) Anyway, this is how I go about it, sometimes I alredy have a pose in mind, but then it’s just trying until I get it right. Sometimes I use references. But this technique is really relaxing, I love to draw this way :D Hope it helps!

Finally I got around to this. =ヮ=

Since there are so many different possibilities, this one was hard to make.

It’s hard to want to show a little bit of everything, but keep the sheet small as well orz.

Sorry there is only one shaded example lol (shading folds is a different story I think)

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 

Not sure if I've asked this, butt in regards to your last picture you uploaded and all of your drawings, how do you know where to line up the head/cranium with the rest of the spine in cases where the head is turned or posed?

well that is simple, the head ideally sits in the middle of the spine…

positioning the head is not the difficult part, in most cases ‘artists’ don’t need to make things ‘look’ right but make it ‘feel’ right. specially when drawing idealized and/or from imagination altering proportions and poses is rather common ⁽ˢᵘᵖᵉʳʰᵉʳᵒ ᶜᵒᵐᶦᶜ ᵃʳᵗᶦˢᵗˢ ᶠᵒʳ ᵉˣᵃᵐᵖᶫᵉ⁾

the easiest way⁽ᶦᶰ ᵐʸ ᵒᵖᶦᶰᶦᵒᶰ⁾ is to use the shoulders. Most of the time when drawing poses i will actually place the shoulders first and then draw the head. Maybe try ‘gesture drawing’ as exercise.
