REBLOGBLE VERISON FOR THE CUTIE

I don’t know what to say about eyes omg IM SORRY ALL IM POSTING IS MY POOPY SCRIBBLE TPIS LATELY i’ draw mroe i promise SObs

[cielanh]

A BUNCH OF PEOPLE ASKED BABOUT HEADS AND HEAD ANFLGES SO YEAH I JSUT DUMPED IT ALL ON ONe i’m not relaly suere what tips to give on this i yeah HOPE IT HELPS

THERE REALLY ISN"T A FIXED PROPRTION for faces because people have different dfaces yeah OS JUST DRAW WHAT YOU THINK LOOKS GOOD!!

**amended the nose/ ear ratio thing for more accuracy YEAH it’s so weird bc i drew the proportions right, i just drew the lines wrong

[cielanh]

YEAH lots of people asked about bodies and poses SO UMM THERE"S not much i can cover on full bodies idk every cahracter is different so there are noEAXCT proportions for anythign REALLY 

IF YOU"RE NOT SURE WHAT POSE TO DO jsut draw a random gesture line that fits the direction of movement and sometimes u end up with really ENERGETIC POSES!! I DUNNO THIS METHOD MIGHT NOT BE FOR EVEYRONE SOBS i dont reallly know 

[cielanh]

HIPS WAIST N CURVY LADIES S oh gosh i have to admit im by noe mans an expert in any of these BUT HERE"S HOW I DRAW THEM

[cielanh]

OMIOGSH so many people asked for hair BUT HAIR IS ONE OF THE PARTS WHERE U CAN RELLY JUST DO ANYTHING U WNAT so yeahhh JUST REMBER to try and use quick gestures to capture the flow of hair!! 

[cielanh]

UMM PEOPLE ASKED ABOUT NOSES AND EARS SO YEAH!!  please look up real references too don’t just look at THESE CAUSE REAL REFS ARE THE BEST I HOpe this helps somewhat i wan’t sure waht to cover SOBS 

[cielanh]

someone asked about light dark hair/ hairstyles so HOPE IT HELPS look at hairstyle sites for more ideas SORRY I DIDN"T really cover long hair but it’s more or less the same thing!!

i don’t like coloring hair acutally LIES ON MY SIDE

[cielanh]

HEyYO hope this helps um there are alot of different boots/sneakers I"M NOT SURE WHICH ONE YOU MEAN if you were looking for something else just let me know! 

oh also the four part thing doesn’t apply to all shoes and the way i draw shoes is kinda weird IT MIGHT NOT BE YOUr thing idk AND OFC REAL REFERENCES ARE STILL YOUR NO1 OPTION WHEN DRAWING YEAH

[cielanh]

I WAS READIN A LOOMIS BOOK RECENTLY and i found some pretty easy ways to remember the proportions of facial features! OFC NOT EVERY FACE FALLS WITHIN THE one third thing SO JUST USE IT AS AN APPROXIMATE!

i wanted to explain more about width/height changes as u turn along different axes BUT I"LL SAVE THAT FOR ANOTHER TIME IM BLABBERING TOO MUCH ALREADY

[cielanh]

II received a few asks about this and I gave some tips on m other tumblr recently so HERE!! Hope it helps!

THESE are not absolute rules of course and it’s best to work with real refs as well to see what works for you! 

[cielanh]

Ahh this is probably long overdue LOL CAUSE PEOPLE KEEP ASKIGN FOR MOUTHS BUT I ALWAYS Draw simplified mouths so i was kinda stuck at it for a bit

I learnt a lot from doing this though!! AS ALWAYS TAKE IT WITH A PINCH OF SALT AND RL REFS ARE YOUR BEST FRIEND!! HOPE IT HELPS 

[cielanh]

Might be nice if you taught us how to draw real bodies, instead of the emaciated, unrealistic version you seem to deem appropriate. Can you draw a fuller formed leg for me? I'm still at a loss how to draw as people really are... :/

i think you’re referring to this post from a while back bc it’s been going around recently and yeah i can understand your point on them being rly skinny!! I JUST HOPE people know that a lot of times when i do these they are overly simplified/stylized drawings ?? im not trying to demonstrate spot on anatomy, just the form/shapes and how I PERSONALLY DRAW in general SO YEAH like i’ve always said, please DON’T take them too seriously/ use them as your sole reference!!

On a side note, i don’t know how to say this without sounding rude?? But I’m not a ‘teaching’ blog and i really am not obligated to ensure that anyone knows how to draw a leg or arm etc. I answer things when they’re within my capability and when I have the time to, and even then, I honestly still have a lot to learn in terms of evERYTHING !!!!And really, if anyone wants to learn how to draw people as they really are, photos/ real life are the best references, not my sub-par doodles 

This isn’t directed at you anon, i mean your msg isn’t rude or anything i just don’t want people to think im some anatomy resource?? bc IM ANYTHING BUT THAT LOL

[cielanh]

BUNS AND THIGHS to the person who wantd it rebloggable i added butts bc people kept asking me about butts omgf

[cielanh]

hello! first of all I want to thank you so much for all of your tutorials - I love them and you're just super awesome! *w* um, but I always have trouble figuring out what to do with backgrounds ... I love your art because the backgrounds are very pleasing to the eye and soft looking! are there any tips you can give me for backgrounds? ;w;

omigosh i get this question a lot but I DON”T REALLY UNDERSTAND WHY BC I Don’t rly draw bgs?? HAHAHA UMM Idk what kind of BGS you mean but for simple backgrounds, I generally just use 3 types

I personally don’t like using the photoshop gradient tool bc i think it looks rly flat SO I DO IT MANUALLY USING A NICE TEXTURED BRUSH

if you are struggling w choosing nice colors for a gradient you can always just make use of the layer effects yeah! OVERLAY USULALY WORKS WELL W MOST COLORS if it’s a light bg and multiply is good if ur looking for something darker

and i guess the last option would just be to slap a texture or pattern onto the background!! YOU CAN DO THIS USING PHOTSHOP EFFECTS or manually with a textured pic  THESE 2 are my favorite though:

u can mix and match the 3 to get cool effects EG ADD TEXTure to the shape or whatever AND YEAH OFC YOU CAN DO LOTS OF OTHER THINGS AS WELL but these are the 3 types i use most often !!

IF you mean like complicated backgrounds I don’t really have much advice besides looking at actual pictures of scenery and stuff.. and when you draw DON”T BE INTIMIDATED!! BUILD THINGS UP SLOWLY like draw a box > add smaller boxes > add detail

I FEEL LIKE IM EXPLAINING IT RLY BADLY LIES DOWN i hope this helps you out a little ? ?

[cielanh]

hhhhh your art is so beautiful u v u. I'm wondering if you could do some references on backs? Of course only if you have time and feel like doing so o v o;;;

forgive my handwriting I HOPE THIS HELPS A LITTLE BC IM NOT RLY SURE IF IT MAKES SENSE also here are some pics of rl backs which you can also locate via google 1,2,3,4,5(nsfw bc butt) 

[cielanh]

Any advice on necks? they are my nemesis ;;

Im not gonna go into detail w the muscles but if you wanna learn the specifics here are some good diagrams! 1,2 Hope that helps a little! Look up rl refs too!

[cielanh]

hi! umm pls pls PLS if you have the time, do a thingy on arms when you get the chance, they are so hard i could almost cry aslkdjaskjsas, i keep forgetting how many curves an arm should have/how long it should be (in diff positions/when it's not resting at the hips) etc etc etc ahhh omg please!! thank you sosososo much, i l♡ve all of your art and i hope you have a nice day!! ✧ ㅠㅠ ✧

I don’t want to go into detail in terms of muscles, but I’m sure you can find them if you google arm muscles! Hope this helps u out a little!
