How To Draw - Blog Posts

How do you draw animals? Mine always come out wrong, a first grader could probably make better animals than I can 💀 If y'all have any tips please share 🙏 is there some secret trick I do not know?

I wanna do more of these… >:U

I am trying to make small guides, though you don't have to follow them. Good luck understanding my handwriting lol

(Also my first time using some brushes, I normally use crayon-like stuff instead of paint)

A few people have asked about this recently so I tried to break down my method of painting faces to the best of my ability. I personally like to use gritty chalky brushes, and this particular painting was mainly done with this brush by Mark Winters.

I never gate-keep my tricks

Here are shape references for Sonic, Amy, Knuckles and Tails!

Will I get flagged for this? 😿

I'm just gonna have this as helpful notes- I would love to draw taurs-

SHAKES YOU how do you draw taurs. i need help i genuinley cant wrap my head around the anatomy of it. optionally i need help with fat taurs but any kind of taur is okay

Ooh, I love these sorta questions!!!

So there are two main things folks usually struggle with when it comes to drawing taurs as a whole. 1, they struggle with quadrupedal anatomy and 2. connecting the humanoid upper body to the quadrupedal lower body. Obviously there's no shame in either of these things, drawing four legged animals, especially if you're more used to the anatomical structure of something more humanoid is quite tough! And finding the sweet spot where humanoid and quadruped meet to make a taur is a bit of a struggle for folks who're still figuring it out.

So! The first thing you wanna do really is just familiarize yourself with quadrupedal anatomy. Look at the skeleton of the creature you're trying to taur and see how things like their limbs bend differently or how they're just differently naturally posed as compared to someone who walks upright.

This is a very simplified skeleton of a cat, but you can pretty immediately see how differently everything bends. And I'm not saying it's something you have to perfectly master to know how to draw a taur (especially when you get to drawing fat taurs), but i highly recommend becoming familiar with how a quadrupedal body is structured, the silhouette of most animals is quite misleading! And absolutely use reference!

Heck, our first go at drawing taur Riley was super heavily referenced (I'll even share the ref image if anyone is interested!), and this still came out real jank. Practice makes perfect!

As for connecting the upper body to the lower body, this is a little more subjective and up to you, but I'll lay out some general guidelines.

Generally speaking, you wanna put the humanoid torso where the base of the neck is, the front of the torso kinda merging with the rest of the taur body just after the tummy, basically just before the crotch starts.

As for the back, you're gonna want to shoot for just shy of where the butt starts, waist having curved back outwards. It gets a little awkward if you go higher or lower than that. And obviously, you wanna make sure the torso is firmly planted in the center of where the neck should be, ehehe.

That's pretty much the basics though! As always, i recommend looking at how your favorite taur artists draw the creatures and studying off of that! Familiarize yourself with quadrupedal anatomy, and use reference!! You will absolutely get it down with time. I will absolutely cover fat taurs if there's interest in it, and ofc, lemme know if there's anything I missed or need to go over! I hope this helps!

here is how I draw leg

step 1: draw circle

step 2: add a rectangle at kinda forward angle

step 3: another rectangle but angled backwards

step 4: last rectangle this time forward again and longer than the last two

step 5: add lines to bulk up your leg where needed, this prevents it from being overly skinny compared to your characters body

step 6: add paws/talons and bulk up any extra areas as you see fit

step 7: use last step as a sketch, add any details like fur or scales as needed

Simple wing tutorial, I made. I love simplifying wings. But sometimes if I want a realistic approach I get stuck, so I stared at a picture of a bat for reference and doodled this

step 1: draw curved line

step 2: draw several curved lines where the original peaks, these will be the wing fingers later

step 3: make archs between each line to create wing membrane

step 4: use previous step as a sketch and line over it on a separate layer

I'm trying my best to draw furry... I'm not really good but I am trying my best! And I'm sorry if the art style changes a lot. Haha-😅

Any idea how to get better at drawing the human body or something please, and thank you.
