Meaningless Sketches

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!

Saw the tiktok comparing gwen miles and hobie to siblings and Miguel to a mom, so heres this lolol

I wanna do this so I'm blogging for the reminder after I build up Fatherless Behavior more

Yknow what, for fun ♥︎ Complete the heart

Rules are just:

@ me and put the tag #s0fti3w1tch's 2k

Don't edit Trainee/TD!AU Leo

No ship art

No h0rny

No deadlines or prizes, just do this if you wanna do it. I wasn't sure if I would celebrate getting 2k, but I thought maybe at least a little thing like this would be fun.

Regardless, thank you for all the support.

Pssst.. rottmnt fans.

Would you like to romance a turtle? How about all 4 with multiple different routes?

Well, look no further! I'm developing a visual novel for just that.

Meet'Cute Turtles in your area is a short little project I'm working on, and depending on the feedback, I may add more story or extra content! Once I'm further in, I'll make a separate blog for the game.

[Here's some sprite art]

@meetcuteturtles-official for the game blog!

I have been wanting ranch hand cowboy Mikey for so long omgomgomg

Yeeeeeey I finished drawing my boys, brought them all together so they weren't alone

I didn't want to draw another picture of Leo, so I'll just leave the old one

I ACCIDENTALLY DRAWED MIKEY AS A SUPER SMALL BABY 😭😭😭

some stuff

Happy Valentines Day lovelies! ♡･:*+.♡♡･:*+.

Saw @saltydoesstuff ‘s post on the turtles having skritches spots and drew something for it

Maybe I drew more and posted it somewhere else (*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)…
