Hi!! I love your art, and I was wondering if you have any advice for drawing things in perspective/foreshortening? I love how you draw your characters at different angles espec when they're doing an action, it just makes your art look so dynamic 😊
hopefully this helps!! ^^
tutorial idea: how to draw teeth / toothy smiles!! i think teeth are difficult for a lot of artists, esp me. im terrible with drawing smiles with teeth. So I would really appreciate if you made a tutorial for teeth! /gen /nf. Thank you.
Your wish is my command, dear anon!

->Gums show a little
→ Smiling pushes cheeks out
Mouth corners look like triangles with lil' hooks
A closed-mouth natural smile will show the top teeth only
There are four incisors (the flat ones) followed by a canine & five molars on either side
I usually group the incisons together fon a more stylised look
While smiling, the lips stretch and look thinner
Start with simple shapes and work your way up to detail!
Do you want to see how muscle engagement varies when using bows of different weights? Or draw an archer running, seated, crouching or leaping? More image packs from my collaboration with @null-entity are now up on Patreon! P.S. give @null-entity a follow for more excellent image references

HII SORRY TY FOR BEING SO PATIENT i get a handful of questions like this so i thought i would try to make a (somewhat) proper guide kinda
i also occasionally use orange, yellow, or Miku Blue as a base color
this brush has been saving my ass for the past year please download!
i think ive made a similar art tip waaaay in the past but having colored backgrounds in general (like bright pink or red, or even black) can really affect how you choose your colors!
i hope this made Some amount of sense!

Would you ever consider sharing tips on how to draw hair? The hair in your art is so pretty and fluffy <3
I can definitely give some tips on how I draw hair, but I’m not sure how well it would apply in a different style haha
Blah blah blah that probably was a horrible explanation of my process so let’s just see it in action (sorta)
Im sorry if this makes little to no sense, im bad at tutorials bc I don’t know what im doing

a little informational guide on trying to find skintones from 3d refs :)
i know that finding skintones from 3d characters is tricky and can result in accidental whitewashing and this isnt to make fun of those ppl! this is simply to inform and help other artists out :)
Sharing the number one trick for a good composition that I always use in illustrations :3
Excellent painting tutorial. In case you don't know the terms in the last description, "edge variation" means having "hard" or "soft" edges, where hard edges are crisp and good for high-detail, and soft edges are more blurry/smudged and are good for giving objects the appearance of receding in distance. In the painting above, the snake's eye uses hard edges, and its teeth and underside of the jaw use softer edges. "Occlusion shadows" are the absolute darkest parts because they are the areas where no light reaches, not even reflected or ambient light. They tend to be small and are used sparingly. Above, there's an occlusion shadow around the snake's eye. However, the shading of the eye was probably exaggerated to make it stand out more, since it's the focal point.
