WHY YOU SHOULD WRITE HORRIBLY:

1. You’ll never write anything if you don’t

I've had this little idea in my head for a while now, so I decided to sit down and plot it out.

Disclaimer: This isn't meant to be some sort of One-Worksheet-Fits-All situation. This is meant to be a visual representation of some type of story planning you could be doing in order to develop a plot!

Lay down groundwork! (Backstory integral to the beginning of your story.) Build hinges. (Events that hinge on other events and fall down like dominoes) Suspend structures. (Withhold just enough information to make the reader curious, and keep them guessing.)

And hey, is this helps... maybe sit down and write a story! :)

did you know moa (the hatoful boyfriend creator) has a blog page solely for references of hands?

well now you do, and here it is!

Fantastic art

The thing with a “main character”, is that the reader see the story/world from that characters point of view - we can often read the characters thoughts and feelings more than other characters in the story. You can also use the perspective to increase this “effect”.

You can use the eye-level to display the world seen from the main character. Look at the two pictures above, the characters have the same size on both pictures - the only difference I’ve made is to switch eye-level. And by just doing this, we switch between the adult and the kids point of view - even though they both look at the same thing.

So, when you are doing a perspective, FIRST decide the eye-level and after that start placing out all those annoying guidelines.

Here it is, my long winded tutorial, complete with some step by step action. I see a lot of people talk about wanting to diversify their artwork but not knowing how. This is my help to you. You really should take the time to invest in learning diverse eye shapes as diverse artwork always makes you a better artist. And frankly I’m really tired of drawing tutorials that talk up character diversity but only have the stereotypical “one Asian eye”.

I did some step by steps for those three diagrams, but I actually got them from this blog which has 14 of those examples! (Bonus: it’s a makeup blog so if you need help with that or want some idea of how to shade these eyes, there ya go)

Okay guys, here's the best drawing advice I can possibly give to someone struggling to find their "style" or is just a beginner in general. Now when I say this you'll probably think it sounds overly simple and stupid as shit, but please trust me on this.

Take your paper, take your pencil, a vague idea of what you want to draw, and just go fucking ham. Do not sit there forever slowly sketching and erasing every 30 seconds. Do not waste time second-guessing yourself. Draw something, and if you think it looks like shit, draw it again, slightly differently. Again, I repeat, don't take your time with this. Just go for it and don't stop. Now, that second drawing might still look like shit, but I bet you it's slightly better. Keep doing this. Whatever you liked about the last drawing, stick with it. Separate the aspects you like from the aspects you don't.

Now, every artist learns differently, but for me and many others, this simple trick works wonders, 'cause guess what guys, focusing too much on your little mistakes is what's holding you back. So stop it. I'll reword it one last time just to make sure you get it through your head. When you're just starting out, trying to find your groove,

don't 👏 overanalyze 👏 your 👏 mistakes! 👏

I don’t know if I even did this right it seems too complicated lmao

Anyways a couple of of you guys have asked me for help on drawing robot bodies cause your confused on mechs a femmes I guess I’ll call them. I used Transformers Prime robots cause they’re not too blocky but not too human looking either. This isn’t a tutorial on how to detail them just how to draw the basic shapes. I hope this at least helps a little bit. sorry for my awful handwriting lol. my text thing doesn’t work on my photoshop
