Art Tutorials By Disney Artists Griz And Norm Lemay

I didn't have internet for a while and I couldn't look up for hand references on Pinterest so I finally made good use of my 2k + reaction pics folder on my phone 😂 | Ko-fi

okay all I have to say today was super insane???? wtf…..

—uhhhh so from yesterday, i just thought after a while id continue drawing…….. and you know i looked at my prev art stuff and saw how I’ve been drawing srda… especially her eyes and i just wanted to try that again…. also since i saw I used to draw in that water brush i thought why don’t I try again you know… and yknow. the first srda was…….fine……. but not really a fan ITS ONLY WHEN I TEIED COLOUR!!!! THAT WOW….. IT REALLY GOT<3 I think i did try colour in this brush before but i didn’t intially like it PROPERLY BECAUSE I DIDNT FULLY DO SOMETHJH IN IT!!!! anyways this was the start of something<3 i went ham ahahah. like the second srda wasn’t the best either (man i need to work on my face angles) but MY GOSH the third srda is fave 💞💞💞 (seriously i want to forever draw like her like this!!!!!) (it’s so perfect…..her hair…. expression just. Yes) I also didn’t want to go out of prac with figures so i just drew in a redraw of panel and pleasantly surprised at how she came out….? hehe…. <3 I did realise I see figure small lmaoo…. I wanted her face to be bigger but oh well and of course as soon as as I be drawing her I get the urge to draw the two… srda + chou… I wanted a lil peck idea… and man it was kind of hard to get profile and also wondering how to draw her from side profile and to keep the chubbiness…. but yeshhhhh it was a good prac. speaking of the eyes, i meant like before i used to had in some lower eyelash or whatever and it looked so nice i gotta had to add it back in also lmaooo the side profile one i was drawing (the peck) got a lot skewed since i wasn’t really putting in a lot of effort anyways and lol her eye turned out really big than i wanted it to be…. anyways yeah.

—anyways after that… I wanted to draw more 🦋 and uhhhhhh this one wasn’t really going well… I botched up her face and tried to fix it anyway cuz of that im really meh over also lol I tried to make her arm do diff lol… or smth since I just keep the arms straight in bust shots… I really need to practice bust shots lol… btw heh the blue background was a homage to my old drawings… I always tended to just add a blue background (if you can’t tell, it’s my go to colour for a lot of things) (honestly my fav colour at this point but I wouldn’t really say fav… it’s like a Homebase fav. that n pink/purples I like to really draw in…) (once I discovered drawing in purple I was a goner ahahaha)

—anyways of course I had to see how 🌸 looked in this brush…..! wait… didn’t I do juv first…? man this is why I liked to do a write up on thoughts as I do it but I was lazy… I have terrible memory lmao. anyways right I did do juv to see her and then skkr… idk if I liked the juv so when I tried to compare her to the normal procreate pencil brush I use… I actually liked that better than the pencil brush lmaooooo. also did other juv in diff brushes just to comapeee… and just to draw her lol… I do like her in more textured brushes….

—and then!!!!! 🌸 I had to get her in…. And im really liking it….? the first one was skewed as obvs… im bad at trying to get her hair right lmaooooo…. but then I wanted to do a redraw of manga from gaiden just to see and cuz I wanna get her more right and I do really like it….? def one of the best skkr I’ve drawn….. but hmmm at the same time it’s not really the type of skkr I want to draw I guess… but I’ve been thinking I wanted to draw that type of skkr but I guess I realised I don’t …. anyways these came out well and did make me very happy in realising that i can draw her in a way that I do like…. :’ I guess major thing that helped was the eyes since I looked at prev art that I drew with srda i realised that I didn’t used to draw the eyes in one line go… and makes sense since when I’d try to draw eyes in one ago… it didn’t really look good… also what’s so hard about skkr was her damn pupils… it’s hard to draw pupils as dots without it looking scary after all or super off but I think im getting hang of it now… it helps to have a good brush too…

—I wasn’t going to draw anymore and take a break but I guess I am just on a roll this morning lmao …. the urge to draw is Real… anyways so since I was playing homage to some of my old drawings I THOUGHT I HAD TO DRAW SOME ⏳!!!! since SEEIOUSLY!!!! I drew like a bunch of him in Feb I think.. 2022 let me check.. no it was in 2024!!!! seriously I think it was the most I drew a character in a freakin day… got obessed with his design and needed to draw him and now kinda sad that I got over that…!!!!! but seriously!!!!! drawing him was what made me discover some of my fav brushes ever…..!!!!! and since it’s his bday month i had to draw him in…. i really was liking the diff colour drawing for each character so i wanted to get that in too…

—and hello????? why is that one so good…???? I’m seriously shocked!!! I don’t really like the first one I drew like lol why his face look like that lmaooo but second one….?! since I had especially just scribbled in his clothes…?! I think it’s cuz the face was so fun to draw in… and I made it more intense than the anime screencap I ref’ing… in comparison the third I drew was so disappointing lmaoooo. it didn’t even turn out to look like him… but I do think it looked more like him before I ended up trying to shade in some colour… also this red colour is super fun to colour him in…….

—anyways I decided to colour in that one…. and hey….?! it’s coming to look really nicely….?! what the…?! I tried to add some shading too but intially didn’t like it and remembered from that colouring session like days ago… that this artist used some diff colouring for the shading like teal/green and I went with green to see how it’d work and tried to make sure it was darker than the skin so it’d be shading but I think it’s when I used the multiply layer and lowered the opacity that it went YOOOOO. I’m really liking it!!!! the colours look super fun together…. im not completely satisfied with it… maybe if i darkened the overall picture… hey wait let me try that now… (20.10) yeah………No. even when I changed the blue to be green multiply. nah didn’t work

—-anyways that ⏳ drawing REALLY MOTIVATED ME… To Want to draw a proper piece for him but honestly I had like no ideas and then remembered I could borrowse through stuff to get ideas but I haven’t…. Really…. I don’t think my browsing was the best and it’s still on my mind but oh well. I do hope I draw something since it seems like a waist not to…

—I did get around to doing daily figure pracs….! this session kinda sucked though lmaoooooo. like I didn’t really have a general idea of what I really wanted and it was kinda boring… I worked on shoulders since I figured it’s something I needed to work on and did some hands (which uhhhh I think I need to study back hands properly urgh…..) and I was kinda basically all of the place and lol I attempted doing figure prac in that water brush and uh yeah. Didn’t like. Anyways wasn’t feeling it really after filling this page so I didn’t…. But I do like with some of the arm prac I tried to add on face later and that was kinda fun even if portions was sometimes skewed… since it got to doing poses that I don’t usually do if I start with torso and stuff

—this is making me wanna do an exercise where I draw the hand first….. hmmmm. that would be fun and I do want to get a gist of how things are portioned to each other and work in relation so I can jump around in my drawing and draw things from different places and ahahah anyways this session making me realise how weak I am honestly in just everything in knowledge and stuff and I think it’s best to practice the bones and urgh the leg especially since while I have a gist. a lot of my figure drawings feel like guess work which I don’t is working that much for me

—-after this!!!! I did so much video !!!!! watching!!!! found this good in depth anatomy stuff too… that I just watchedddddd. a lot. and I think honestly I just want to watch a lot of anatomy videos to just see and get more in depth and then more closely study the bones in a general way so I have more awareness of them and then try to apply knowledge in my figure pracs….

—-one thing I have to say it’s a shame!!!! I didn’t draw ssk today!!!!!!!!!!!’ :/ I wanna draw him but also I really can’t be bothered right now………. Hopefully before day ends (now:20.22) I will get to doodle him and get some idea for a ⏳ drawing….. I do have some ideas but it gets in other characters and honestly can’t be bothered trying to learn how to draw his sibs too… for a drawing but I make it make it an idea for me to draw hmmm. anyways yeah. I think I will just go into more videos right now and just. get myself immersed in everything….!!!!!

—ah well I didn’t do anyhhhbg else today but I was getting more immersed in trying to study poses/figures and I think I got an exercise that will help… I really want to learn how to get angles right and the relation of pelvis n ribcage so I think it’s good to study poses and try to get how the pelvis would look like in that angle and help using 3D model of a pelvis that I can move around… cuz I really need to study tilt and shit… want to get more in depth study of knowledge so that all left is the drawing part…. Ah well didn’t explain this well but who cares

30sec poses + hands. Mainly hands. :/

—I had to go upstairs for something and so I got opportunity to grab pen n paper…!!! I just started with random pose from imaginary… and I was gonna do just poses from ref but remembered the whole 30s pose thingy and did it and OF COURSS it immediately 💀 started with a super hard pose….! man I felt like this session of 30s was infinitely harder than 16th… I was just quickly scribbling it in. ah right I remember. of course it was harder because of the set up. my stupid glasses that kept falling down (I really need to get it properly fitted) and how I placed my iPad so I had to keep looking up. yeah that didn’t help/do any favours lol.

—also portions got skewed that lol all the poses looked like younger than I was hitting for. but oh well.

—I def didn’t want do another timed session… and did debate on a longer timed session but I didn’t want to… so I thought to just focus on a pose of the day for posemanic.. and randomly picked this one. holding chest out, proud pose. and I tried it: the angle it was on alright was one that covered the other hand and yeah from first v, I could see that I didn’t bring out the chest as much as it could been….! also cries I have no idea what the f I was doing with the legs??? like I felt completely lost??? (I realised later that’s cuz I was doing the whole sectioning of the legs into two parts and working from there. im not familiar with legs at all to try and just do it lolll. (Yeah I really do need to brush up on my leg knowledge and stuff. I mean I know some muscles and stuff but not really bones that much except some and gist…not like im getting to know the arm/feet and I should change that…..One Dsy…. I just don’t have that much of motivation to work on legs like that… lololol)

—I should def get back to that poss later on to properly study . helpful it was on digital then, since I feel like the limitations of traditional were not helpful in that regard.

—but even so about limitations of digital… oh no… im feeling sleepy (not surprised) but it’s a btch while trying to write this up. and i hoped to be done within the day. ahhhhh. Wait there’s like few hours left of the day. I can make it. Anyways so where was I: yes limitations of tradition yes there is but like. Also. Strong points and did like going back to pen and just drawing which is good… my new rip off Apple Pencil has no pressure sensitivity :/ so writing with some that does is so so soiooo nice skiskkkjj. Lmao I was sleeping here but im normal again now. anyways as I was saying… it feels so nice to pen stuff!!! but also kind of annoying! I should do more traditional stuff!!!!

—working on that chest stick out pose reminded me of the skkr/karin wip.. so I went to draw it just to get a feel for it since I honestly don’t like how I did it before I want the shirt to be BIG and FOCUS and yeah this one didn’t go well. like I said about pen + traditional, I accidentally made the arms too close in and not further as it’s picking it up so I was like ehhh alright and had to deal with it lol.

—hands!!!! and more hands!!!! okay today really is the Hand day. I was focusing on like figuring out how had works and draw it and imaging the way it bends and it was I think at first working for me I think I was all getting it. feeling like I was getting closer and well… later on I do draw more hands on digital. and these do some look better but also my GOSH

—my fingers… :’ also i just think at one point i just got be like. i had enough of hands. I tried to do a bit of figuring out to make sure I remember the length of fingers or whatever anyways hand is so complicated n hard because of the fingers and how everything moves and they all do stuff relative to each other and it’s just so annoying. and it doesn’t help I can’t roughly draw it in as it freakin looks like it makes no sense that way so i have to think of each pose of finger before I put it down and yeah hand was just getting to be super annoying and I couldn’t anymore

—but here I did draw a nice hand in that upper part. it was supposed to be initially more stretched out like the ref but well. no space so I just made it uknow more curled up.

—this one I redraw one of the poses I did for the 30 sec quick poses that I thought came out well and I think that it was nice to draw. I thought the arm didn’t come out as well and considering how I was supposed to be better at arms now even a lil bit. (ha…….) I had to try and redraw it to look more nicer and happy…!!! because hey. it looks like it is more nicer..

—and ah before I forget to mention. I did this lil thing. I was honestly. Bored and i didn’t know what to fill more the page but wanted to continue to just do that. so I kinda did boxes or whatever? and it turned into a more bringing in character into environment. and well. it was well. you know what it was. but I redrew it again, remembering to add a lil more perspective to the box thingy (making it feel like it’s going towards somewhere (a vanish point)) and it def did add depth! thank you that one video! I do want to draw more characters in environment. it’s a weak point of mine and one the things that.. I just like ?? to do. it’s just so cool (idk if that’s the word) when you able to ground a character to an environment like it’s just. SO COOL.

The 3 easy markers I use to help myself draw the lower legbones and how they attach to the feet. Now you know all my secrets!

...the secrets of the leg bones...

sometimes art be like. I have an arm. which I can ref. and I have myself. which I can ref. I forget KDKKDKDKD

I made this comp a while ago, maybe before christmas? I've made some more sketchbook pages since but I thought I'd also post this here! Maybe I'll compile the recent ones at another time, though they're far more boring as theyre all black & white lol

back to my okay i think i’m getting the hang of this

💀 zipping from wow i can’t for shit i’m so sad abt it all look at this and hey okay it wasnt actually so bad and hey it’s looking good and hey doing this constructing step step thing is kinda working out to getting motivated by vids and doing quick poses and oh wow i’m getting hang of it yay to lets goooo and back to wtf i can’t draw shit man i want to cryyyy

One thing I will say today is fck arms like seriously… :’ they are the bane of today. I WILL CRACK ON THEM CUZ OH MY GOD —-

—like wtf :/ from yesterday okay so i wanted to focus on arms… and i think from videos i kind of watched what helped was the shoulders… i think i forget them…. And one thing i have trouble with the bend or whatever….??? I feel like I didn’t have this much trouble but whatever……………….

but lol instead of doing arm stuff I went into pose studies….? The first one I wanted to change the ref n make it more dynamic etc and wtf is the torso tbh… but happy with it… also looking at it now lol the arm portions suck. yeah another part that is :/ to me…

—anyways for the second one…. It was fun…. Trying to create stuff from the ref I saw… using it a base for pose idea but I wanted to add more personality and shit…. Anyways I think the arms was kind of fine….? Here….? But hard to draw tooo sIGH. anyways after that I just went ham in doing just arm studies. I had ENOUGH. and I wasn’t really doing it in a constructive or effective way tbh… just whatever… I figured maybe I drew arms for enough times I would get it………no that didn’t happen…… :’

so I went to do the bones and hey….?! maybe these might actually help…?! I see that from the bones… it shows how the shape of the arms be it is… with the wide point of the front… like wow… and and so I tried a pose in bones where it’s like bending arm above and I feel like I was getting it…? (especially helps to see the confusing mess that’s hard to draw of traps n deltoids bunching over when the arm twists up….) I drew over it and well. Yeah. Lololll not the method but does help in seeing stuff

—and I thinkkkkkk after this one I watched a video….???? Just to refresh some parts I might have finished and at this point I still didn’t have no fcking clue to how to approach stuff and did literally whatever. and see how it goes…and SIGH I don’t think some of it is bad but I give up honestly. I had enough.arms fck u. it’s so difficult with bending shit and I just don’t get it:/

—but taking a break….from this…. I realise that I HAVE A PAIR OF ARMS??? And I can do more obersvation and tracing; since the problem is portions and the bumps of arms and shit and bending in diff posss that get to me. So then: I should do more observational now and just observe and use my arms too like right now: how my arm is bending when im holding my phone. just thinking and being aware of stuff like that: my upper arm resting against my torso… bending upward in that kind of angle… and just being aware of that and visualing helps a lot…!!!! and it’s a good exercise because it’s quite literally my arm and I can just feel it out even I don’t see it. and one things I do even if im not art’ing physically and especially did a lot during the early times of this serious art journey is trying to imagine and construct the pose in my mind and how I would draw it in my mind. since my visuallinh is really good, I can draw stuff in my mind and think deeply and I think that observating other arts I can see and just photos and also feeling out how my arms work when i do stuff is how I should go about this for now. when all feel like it’s failing, falling back on observation is really helpful..!!!!!

and then his boyfriend provides him with blood? :) (please say yes i need this in my life so bad)

whats the point of it all if he doesnt
