some of us were put on this earth to draw characters standing against a blank background 5000 times
Just a little doodle for my friend Kite-Less of our dead OCs (Mine Derringer on the left and theirs Jiāng Xùn on the right) , they don’t have a tumblr but you can find them Here: https://kite-less.deviantart.com/ go check them out they’re awesome and their commissions are currently open!
Wooh first real piece in a loong while. Enjoy my OC Griffin being his extra self!
Here's some notes on some of the upper body muscles so you, artist, don't need to look them up
They are not medically accurate, just enough for artists to know the necessary muscles and how they work together
I 100% recommend doing the last exercise I did to be able to actually place the muscles
its so important to me that artists remember they can fuck around. you never have to use tools as intended. you can always skip steps. you dont have to be organized. you dont have to be neat. you can put as little effort as you want into the parts of the process you dont find fun. maybe if youre making products you cant do these things but on your own time you can do literally actually whatever the hell. it doesnt matter how long you spend on it youve made art and its complete when you decide to quit. yee haw
Remember these super best friends? Me neither.
