So I posted a silly doodle yesterday on twitter and now people think it was a tutorial. So I got upset and made an actual tutorial so noone says I halfassed the yesterday's one 😡😡😡

Here you go: ~How I draw braids~ 🩷🙏

I made an art/anatomy tutorial about birds! I hope people will find it helpful!

some mid to dark black skin swatches i made for twitter. again this isn’t a tutorial by all means, just a brief visualization and I still highly encourage everyone to do their own research 🫰 i included cool undertones as well since they’re left out often

Chibi foliage guide: Rose (pt.2)

i watched one (1) video on how to draw hands that changed my life forever. like. i can suddenly draw hands again

these were all drawn without reference btw. i can just. Understand Hands now (for the most part, im sure theres definitely inaccuracies). im a little baffled

for those of u asking for the vid!

Caves are weirder and more varied than you think

my followers can have some cave pics, as a treat

Good reference for writers

Notes on drawing babies!

🕊️ from the reference archive on HATOKING.com 🕊️

HatoKing? More like Hand-o King, but not, like, because of hand jobs 'cause she makes tons of hand drawing reference material! (I use these all the time in my own drawing.)

Made by the guy who created Hatoful Boyfriend, the pigeon dating sim. (The bio is in Japanese so I'm unclear on whether they made it are just a huge fan.)*

*edit to add: confirmed by @fluffyheretic: HatoMoa is the creator of Hatoful Boyfriend (a lady-king and I should have referred to as "she")

how rude...

Something like this would be so colossally helpful. I'm sick and tired of trying to research specific clothing from any given culture and being met with either racist stereotypical costumes worn by yt people or ai generated garbage nonsense, and trying to be hyper specific with searches yields fuck all. Like I generally just cannot trust the legitimacy of most search results at this point. It's extremely frustrating. If there are good resources for this then they're buried deep under all the other bullshit, and idk where to start looking.

May I present to you, nationalclothing.org?

It doesn't have everything, but it's still my first source when researching traditional clothing from other cultures.

There's also this resource on historical fashion: Claire’s Historical Fashion Reference & Resources

another addition as far as physical media goes there is the encyclopedia of national dress (that i still need to buy myself bc this kind of thing is super important to my sort of fantasy designing) but yes i do agree i wish there was EVEN MORE documentation on this

here are some resources for Indian clothing archives:

The Sari Series: a digital anthology documenting India's regional saree drapes though short films

Purushu Arie's blog; started when he was studying at NIFT, the blogger has gone on to become a leader in the neo-traditional fashion scene in India.

if anyone knows more please add links !

both drawn to life books are free to read on archive.org?? and downloadable as pdf???? what!! YO HOLY SHIT

a coworker yesterday was asking me about these behind my chair, and gun to my head, if you asked me what was the single best drawing book of all time -- it'd be these. there's a reason i keep them in irl arm's length.

not to toot my horn but i get a lot of comments about "believable life"/body language in my drawings, and i owe that to this book. Walt Stanchfield -the author- was one of the main mentors to a ton of the rennaisance era disney animators (Glen Keane, Musker, Deja, etc). this guy understands both the kinectic sense of how bodies move and squish/stretch, and how people "act", and composition/silhouette, and is honestly just a thoroughly decent dude.

some screenshots!

handmade drawing references :)

I took these pictures mainly to analyze my hand structure. Feel free to use them for your art, if you'd like to!
