i’ve had more than one anon asking about lips and i’ve tried to do a little tutorial before without posting it simply because i feel like my mouths aren’t really that special. they are always really quick and not super detailed, but i tried to put something together anyway! as always this is not a depiction of how you best draw mouths or how you should paint them, this style is just how i draw them. 

and of course, i added some examples. i use this method almost everytime painting lips these days.

Thanks for the ask! The truth is, I’m still really shaky on how to draw hands. But here’s a really short and simple tutorial on my approach.

Need some better/more in-depth hand tutorials? Check these ones out, they are all amazing: (link) (link) (link) (link)

My first shot at creating a sort of tutorial/guide, telling how I do things. On this initial chapter we’re going over the handy matter of Hands. Not meaning to be an encyclopedic explanation, only showing my own methods and self-taught clues. Hoping somebody finds it useful! :3 I’ll do more if this one is received well. So let me know~

My thanks also to the supporters in my Patreon campaign, who helped me decide which themes to focus on for a start. And are actually allowing this to happen. :D Cheers!

just for the Heck of it I made a video of how I draw hands
