YOUR ART IS INCREDIBLEEE
AW Thanks so much, I APPRECIATE YOU!!! I've been a bit down on my art lately so this was so nice to hear 🥰🥰🥰
Tumblr is doing some stupid AI shit so go to blog settings > Visibility > Prevent third-party sharing.
also use Nightshade and Glaze to protect your artwork and images!!!!
best combination is usin Nightshade then Glaze on your images. Glaze creates a protective layer and Nightshade poisons the A.I. software.
do you have any advice for drawing/learning to draw characters and people?
When I'm drawing I try to start loose with a larger brush to capture the overall gesture before focusing on details. It helps me focus on correcting anatomy/pose from the beginning instead of getting precious with details that you would have to redo when correcting the underlying drawing.
Here's my two big tips I sometimes have to remind myself to do :
Studying Anatomy - I'm sure you've heard it before but drawing from life is the most important thing to learn and understand anatomy! When I want to practice I do some figure drawing using websites like https://line-of-action.com/ sometimes doing just a few quick figure sketches is a great warm up before starting something new.
Gather Reference - When I'm planning a piece it's important for me to get references. I have aphantasia (I have no minds eye) so it's even more important for me and when I don't use ref I always see a big difference. Sometimes I'll have different references for lighting, posing, the characters themselves, rendering, mood etc. (taking pics of hands etc with your phone can help if you can't find exactly what you want) I also like to sometimes pick existing art to be inspired by too to help me set a benchmark in quality and detail.
Generally the more you practice the better and faster you'll become! I try to draw something every day if I can manage even if it's just a quick sketch to keep me warmed up and in practice
Hope some of these tips are helpful 💕
what programs do you use to make your art?
I use procreate on my iPad! Sometimes I'll bring finished art into Photoshop to see if it needs some final changes but not often. It's mostly to see the art on different monitors to judge color/contrast.
Im very interested clip studio because so many friends swear by it but procreate is just so simple and easy for personal art ...one day I'll learn 😂
Paeris, @wilddaggers baldurs gate oc! Bc he's 😍💕
Why did I spend an hour on this? Idfk don't ask me personal questions
