Legs Design Reference.

i just found myself using this random trick that one of my art professors taught me and i thought other people might like it!

other tips: -at rest, the elbow hits the bottom of the ribcage, and the wrist hits the bottom of the crotch -the distance from your inner elbow to your wrist is about the same length as your foot -the length of your hand (from wrist to the tip of your middle finger) is about the same length as the distance between the bottom of your chin and your hairline

so, if you have a feeling that proportions are wrong on something, those work as quick gauges. like, if a character’s forearm looks too long, try to visualize their foot being the same size and see if that works. if the hands look too big, look at their size in relation to the face.

hope this helps someone!

apparently ppl don’t know about waifu2x??? despite its… concerning name it’s literally the most convenient website i’ve ever come across as an artist

it allows you to resize artwork without it becoming pixellated. this is a MASSIVE help if you, for example, make lineart too small or something. it works best with things that 1. have no textures 2. have smooth lines 3. have cel shading, but it still works really damn well for things that don’t fit that profile

here’s an example:

normal size

2x in paint

2x in waifu2x

so like, there’s that. go wild

so I downloaded a new art program recently

It’s called Krita. Maybe you’ve heard of it, but in case you haven’t, seriously, check it out! It’s really nice!

The best way I can describe this program is that it’s a combination of Easy Paint Tool SAI and Photoshop. And the best part is the program is completely free to download from their website. I think what I like most about it is that not only does it have a Stablizer like SAI does, but it has practically all the tools I ever use from Photoshop. Not saying it’s going to replace SAI or PS for me (at least not yet; I’m still learning my way around Krita lol), but it’s probably the only thing I’ve ever found that is coming close to doing it.

I put some screenshots under the cut!
