A quick drawing of a character I came up with! I wanted to practice drawing in a comic artists style! I liked when illustrators and comic artists paint the inner lines of a character’s face (like the nose) in a darker skin tone color! it looks nice! 😊 I really want to learn 2D animation and how to make comics! I was learning blender for a few days I need to get back to it lol ( it will help me greatly in the future when making characters and backgrounds, I also want to make little cute figurines to 3D print in the future!)

I need to come up with a name for him and backstory! If any of you have a cool name let me know!

generative AI literally makes me feel like a boomer. people start talking about how it can be good to help you brainstorm ideas and i’m like oh you’re letting a computer do the hard work and thinking for you???

Ok I gotta ask if you're still feeling helpful: how do you **proportion** hands? Because so many times I try my DAMNEST to draw the fingers accurately in position only to realize that oops! I've made them too tiny yet-a-fucking-gain!!!!!! *Maybe* lasso tooling and resizing will fix some of it, but now the wrist doesn't fit so then it's time to start all over again and nagrnjarngjnkgnaningr-

idk if this answers your question but I hope it helps!!

animals in my artworks- just realised how little I draw people

So earlier in art class today, someone drew a characters hands in their pockets and mentioned that hands are really like the ultimate end boss of art, and most of us wholeheartedly agreed. So then, our teacher went ahead and free handed like a handful of hands on the board, earning a woah from a couple of students. So the one from earlier mentioned how it barely took the teacher ten seconds to do what I can’t do in three hours. And you know what he responded?

“It didn’t take me ten seconds, it took me forty years.”

And you know, that stuck with me somehow. Because yeah. Drawing a hand didn’t take him fourth years. But learning and practicing to draw a hand in ten seconds did. And I think there’s something to learn there but it’s so warm and my brain is fried so I can’t formulate the actual morale of the lesson.

Why WOULD I pay for tumblr premium when I get quality ads like this???

1$ flea market score. Tiny glass 1960s perfume bottles. I love them.
