Fox Walk - Step By Step~

Watching the Blizzcon short and…

I’m fairly sure McCree tipped Ashe to the train? He does say she could “never resist a good tip”. Also Bob ripped McCree’s arm off, and Echo (floaty AI lady) has apparently been out of the loop for sufficiently long enough that she doesn’t know who Winston is or how McCree lost his arm. Intriguing.

Also, Echo this year as a hero seems damn near guaranteed, so there’s that.

Hey friends! Meg here for a really, long, wordy TUTOR TUESDAY! This week we take a look at drawing characters that are interacting. If you need help with anatomy here are a few tutorials: legs, arms/legs, necks, and here is a previous tutorial on poses. If you have any tutorial suggestions send ‘em in here or my personal. Now go forth and I’ll see you next week!

Fourth Room - The art of How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden Wolrd, part one

I discovered something useful today, taking breaks or exercising never helps me but THIS does, sharing to save a life

So you might be saying: Lion why a guide on drawing black people? Well young blood it’s because a lot of people cant…seem…to draw…black people..Amazing I know. 

Racist (caricatures) portrayals of black people have been around forever, and to this day people can’t seem to draw black people like they are human. If your artwork resembles any of the above even remotely your artwork is racist and offensive. If you try to excuse that as a stylistic choice you’re not only a terrible artist, but racist too!!! Congrats.

Whitewashing is also a problem. A lot of people refuse to draw black features on canonly black characters. While this example isn’t colored, lightening the skin-tone of a character is also considered whitewashing. So lets start with features!

Now all black people have different noses thats a no-brainer, but black noses tend to have flatter bridges, and wider nostrils. Please stay from triangular anime noses and small button noses. Your drawings should not depict black people with abnormally large noses. (Especially if you do not draw other characters this way)

If you feel like the way you draw lips on black characters is offensive or resembles a caricature,it probably does and you should change it. ABSOLUTELY AVOID PLACING LIPS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FACE. 

Hair is so diverse! Please get used to drawing braids, locs,kinks and coils! If you can learn to draw ringlets and long waves you can learn how to draw black hairstyles.

Add clips! Learn how to draw baby-hairs and never be afraid to add color Pinterest and Google are free my dudes! Also try using square brushes for blocking in coils.

OK THAT’S ALL YOU GUYS

Thank you everyone for lifting us up to new heights. We are getting writers together and making plans for 2020. We do want to shed some light on burn out, which is something our visual artist is facing at the moment! Remember to take care of yourselves. For that reason it will be quiet from us till January when we come back with renewed strength! 💖💖💖🌈#thankyou : : #rise #studiokillers404 #cherry #jenny #dynamink #goldiefoxx #edm #music #animation #mentalhealthawareness #burnout #love https://www.instagram.com/p/B6TpEDqHint/?igshid=wo77yb0iy30t

Takes more than combat gear to make a man

Takes more than a license for a gun

Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can

A gentleman will walk but never run
