heyo!! just wanna say that your art is really cool and inspiring!! the way you render and the colors you use are always pleasant to look at !!

anywho hope you have a nice day awawawaaaa

Thank you so much! Speaking of colors, I enjoy working with it a lot and I'm gonna go on a little mini tangent.

Here is a piece I worked on recently. The characters colors were black, brown and red. To make everything cohesive I need to make sure all the colors match a scheme. I picked a very simple red to green contrasting/complimentary color scheme. Lots of people talk about green not matching with red, as they feel it has Christmas vibes. I think there are solutions though; making sure that the more commonly appearing color (green) is dull and understated helps a lot. also making it not actually green helps a lot too LOL.

Hello!

How do you draw anthro faces? I’ve been trying to learn and struggling with the mouths and eyes in particular

Ahhh, generally I don't have a "way" to draw any specific face or feature. Anthros are so varied and different with the beaks and the fangs and such. I personally suggest to try breaking stuff down into simple 3D shapes (emphasis on the 3D) and then combining that with real photo refs. Here is a video on breaking down simple and complex shapes, I don't think it is entirely helpful but it's a good start.

Here is a little demo of what I do for anthro canine heads. It's kinda just a lot of liquify and repositioning, especially with the eyes. I actually wouldn't call myself an expert with face shapes cause I really just wing it. People may feel like my anatomy is super accurate because I shade in 3D shapes. I draw a sphere, I place a hexagonal cylinder for the snout, add the nose and then and that boomerang triangle slope to blend the bridge of the nose into the face. I make rounded or hexagonal shapes for the jowls on the muzzle. All these harsh edges get blended into the sphere head. (hopefully this helps)

Your art is beautiful! Never stop creating! I love your dragons 🐉

Thank you! every time I get an ask that's just being nice to me I'm gonna prattle off some random shit. Love me a dragon, specifically when they have the murder pointy chins, to me that is peak design. I also love when they have gills/scales along their neck. Basically had every dragonology book as a kid so this was the only outcome to happen in my adult career.
