Day 26

Very happy to finally post my third tutorial! Thank you so much for your overwhelming support of my last tutorial, I am so happy it was useful for you guys 🙇‍♀️. I feel like this topic was harder to explain so feel free to ask me some questions if you want!

Like last time, I really hope this helps some of you in your art path 🙌

In case you lost it - a link to the eSIM donation guide. Even if you feel sick and powerless, you can at least do this. And even if you really, really can't donate, you can always at least share this and remind others.

Creative Commons - all kinds of stuff, homie

Even Adobe has some free images

There are so many ways to make moodboards, bookcovers, and icons without plagiarizing! As artists, authors, and other creatives, we need to be especially careful not to use someone else’s work and pass it off as our own. 

Please add on if you know any more resources for free images <3

being a self-taught artist with no formal training is having done art seriously since you were a young teenager and only finding out that you’re supposed to do warm up sketches every time you’re about to work on serious art when you’re fuckin twenty-five

Drawing Hands: Studies and Notes | Naomi Franq

Gave myself a little homework! It's always a challenge to keep up with good study habits when you're already balancing work and life. While this is hardly a tutorial (nowhere near enough to comprehensive I think to qualify as one), I realized as I was sketching from reference that it might be beneficial for others if I wrote down my thoughts on how I approach drawing hands.

See these studies and notes for free up on my Patreon! I want to share more of my studies, available for the free membership. Subscribe for first access to my other sketchbook entries, WIP illustrations, and process posts.
