It's sloppy dynamic pose turtle tutorial time

Im Sorry @vanillatheartist, tumblr destroyed your question while I was working on it, but I went on a whole rant on this!

So the way I draw is not how I would ever ever NEVER recommend, it's all fundamentals put into just doodling from one point to finish before even doing the gestures so I made a time-lapse solely do demonstrate that

My very annoy first tip is knowing the fundamentals of draftsmanship, learning from studying figures, that is not just draw from photos but see how artists draw figures also by seeing how the gestures are done. Don't know how to draw a pose? Use a reference, don't know how to approach a pose? Create an inspiration folder of photos and artworks. What is also very important to know when drawing dynamically is knowing perspective and how to foreshorten, figure out the tricks and keep pushing the forms further and further..

There is so much from fundamentals that go into this and I have studied anatomy so much to be able to draw like how I did in the video without having to look at anything because I have collected a memory bank from studying and perhaps I just watch way too much fighting movies and I like to at times just watch boxing so I know a thing or two that you need to know theoretically (Lets be real I have never got into serious fights before, how would I know if I can do these moves) how fighting styles are.

Now perhaps I could give you few tips that aren't annoying LOL

First tip is knowing how to let all forms flow, let it curve depending of the frame you are going for, let the flow lead the eye, knowing flow can help you push then even further, don't just stick to the first try, see if you can take it even further, push and toss the form even more, SHAPES SHAPES Even muscles will create the flow, don't stick too much to accuracy of muscles, let it also lead the flow and create shapes that neatily stack together, knowing the anatomy allows you to also break it

Once you realize how to use the flow to manipulate the forms you need to consider the planes, the planes go with the flow, don't let the planes work against the flow of your poses! Using Flow versus straight lines create an effective dynamic shapes so being able to push those against each other makes the shapes way more interesting.

The simpliest tip I give is this... don't make a symmetrical blob.... thats where you manipulate muscles *wink*

Now... the biggest tip to make the pose pop out is knowing how to foreshorten the limbs, the biggest mistake is trying to accurately have the muscle somehow overlap the front muscle, this is why I do it like this drawing, cut into with the straight line and into the muscle, then let the forms of the muscles keep overlapping the next, this is why I do a lot of circles, they help me decide all the overlapping and poses!

Now... I didn't show any gestures, because I think we all hear it too much either way, its one of the biggest fundamentals so do check tutorials for it if you are unsure how to do gesture lines for poses !

I hope this helps somehow, Its been forever I have made a tutorial and I think this has become way more precise as I continue trying to show what Im thinking!

I'm taking this as my birthday present omg

this is so late lmao but HERE U GO ROTTMNT VALENTINES

reblog only if you’ve received less than 1000 boops! we can all get each other to “max”

I love being Squingle Dinglus coded

NEVER get into anything thats heavy on color symbolism bro . for months you will not be able to look at the color blue without instantly thinking of Squingle Dinglus

the tags In your fic, specially the one that says "leo/donnie/mikey" is that tcest?

God no!!! It probably got cut off (I'm assuming you meant on ao3), but all together it's leo/don/mike/raph/reader, meaning they share the reader insert character. My fics will never have any tcest!!

Like and Reblog this post if you want rise to come back.

Pass it on.

hoodieless hemo? hes never in a good mood without it LOL

Self promo don worry about it

I realized I've been beating myself up with the thought that I can't write unless it's for something, and its clean and finished, which isn't good. This is my first step to try and get out of that!

Your vision blurred, the bright things brighter from the cold that teased the edges of your eyelids but didn't dare fall. The pain had been so much just moments before, but too much morphed into nothing, either thanks to shock or something else. You flinched and turned away from an impact you heard to your left, only for light to breach the rubble that had you trapped.

"Softy!"

You recognized that gruff voice, even further recognized the red masked face that looked at yours.

"Hey, Raphie," you murmured, only for the use of your voice to push discomfort up your throat until you coughed it out.

Raphs eyes looked so small, so scared, focused lower on your body rather than your face. You hated seeing him so uneasy. He was rarely free of unease. You felt so bad for doing this to him.

His hand must have touched you, as the buzzing ache turned sharp and ripped a screech from your chest. He pulled his hand away immediately, eyes glancing to the red you saw painting his skin, only for him to instead look at your face. You wondered, same as him, how you were the one so calm in this moment. Tears fell from his eyes, fat and wet and soaking his mask a similar color to his hand.

"I-I can't- not you," he begged, your name coming out a strangled sound.

"You won't," you replied, doing your best to smile just to sell it. He didn't say he didn't believe you.

His hand, painted in red, colored your skin and hair as he brushed his thumb on your cheek. You leaned into his touch, your tears finally falling aswell. It surprised you when his lips crashed into yours.

And he smothered you, and you wanted nothing more. Your lips moved against his like it'd be the last time, knowing it'd be the last time, desperately trying to convey just how much you love him. He returned it with an even greater level of care, trying to convey just how much he needed you.

Everything faded away in that kiss. The world, the pain, sight and sound and touch.

Raph sobbed alone.
