Gesture Notes By Mateus Lins

been scrolling on your art tag for a good 38 mins

(can you tell there's something desperately wrong with me)

and HOW DO YOU HANDDSSSSS ghhhhh theyre so perfect how like EURGHH chomp chomp delicious but HOW??? 😭 youre magic dude

OMG. OMGGG. THANK YOUUU WHAT THE HELL I JUST BLUSHED. and im glad u like how i draw hands hehe thats so nce... theyre pretty fun(most of the time) to draw for me(when i actually do draw them) so i hope it shows. idk if this is you asking for hand tips BUT EVEN IF ITS NOT. IM DOING IT ANYWAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HANDS are all about SHAPES!!!!! theyre just a bunch of wobbley squares and wonky cubes and sometimes triangles too depending on the angle.

and if the pose/angle is more complicated? break the shapes down into even MORE squares and cubes. They are your best friend. we love cubes. (sorry. these arent great outlines bc im using my mouse. but you get the deal)

and im still not great at drawing softer hands tbh, but if you want them to not be so pointy and tough looking, just round out the corners and throw in more slopes and squishes.

and now im gonna say something and youre probably gonna groan really loud but just hold on for a second. hold my hand. okay. i feel like my mind awakened when i learned how to make hands in blender. NOW im not saying you have to learn blender just to figure out how to draw hands. because i still dont know blender either. and hands still stump me from time to time. but just the act of building a shitty hand out of cubes put me on this mindset for the rest of my life. i dont even know if this is anything, but heres a good video of someone building a very simple hand in blender and maybe itll lock into your brain like it did mine.

“How arw you paying for photoshop” im not LMAO

my edit of @gladiolusly 's group meme (original here) which is exactly what I was looking for, thank you....

Dudes healthcare is so fake. My ADHD meds are $940 without insurance. But they gave me a website of "coupons" which straight up looks like a scam website, and I got it today for $60! Just a coupon from a random website and it was $900 cheaper. America, I am confusion!! America explain!!

Ive been struggling with drawing harpy legs and since you're so good at it I was wondering if you could give me a few tips? If not that's cool too 👌 I hope to see more of your amazing art soon~!

thank u anon!!! <3 imo the best way to get better at harpy legs is to study some real life birds!! i tend to draw harpies with like. Total Bird Leg, but if you wanna mix it up n make them even weirder/more human like then YAA GO FOR IT!!!! monsters are so much fun and there aren’t any rules so. just have fun!! anyway, here’s some bird leg info

Have a great big ol’ sheet of kissing references!

Moving along to the popular round collar robe of the Tang Dynasty :D

In the 2nd pic, the model in the picture on the bottom wearing the 2-coloured robe has wrist protectors on, which is why the sleeves don't look like "regular" sleeves. To wear the protectors, you gather the sleeve tightly around your arm, then put the protector over the sleeve, so it's a separate piece and not sewn/attached to the robe.

I’ve had a HELL of a day trying to figure out skulls and facial structure, but here’s some stuff I did about proportions and shading and coloring. Face structure was referenced from this,

Shading locations I actually picked up from a thing that’s about makeup I’m pretty sure, but it gave some good results so I rolled with it. And the info on hue in faces are what I applied from this post. Gives the skin some more natural glow? Play around with settings and stuff.
