Well it being black history month is reminding me how I wanted to doodle something like this down for a while. Since it’s been a lil detail I always take notice of in drawings. These are very simple depictions but I hope it’s enough to give the general idea! Feel free to reblog

Was working on some skin tone grids and thought I'd share for any other artists out there ^^

disclaimer: I am east asian. if anyone who is not white sees anything wrong with my phrasing, inaccuracies, or insensitivity, or something I missed, please feel free to add on. I’m just one person with one perspective; none of what I say should be taken as The Singular way to draw an Asian character. if you havent done so already, please take the effort to expand your view of Asian culture outside this one tutorial.

if a white person reblogs this and adds something stupid I’m going to bite and kick you like a wild animal

Know what I’m salty about?

In all my art classes, I was never taught HOW to use the various tools of art.

Like yes, form, and shape and space and color theory and figure drawing is important, but so is KNOWING what different tools do.

I’m 29 and I JUST learned this past month that India Ink is fucking waterproof when it dries. Why is this important? Because I can line something in India Ink and then go over it with watercolors. And that has CHANGED the ENTIRE way I art and the ease I can create with.

tldr: Art Teachers: teach your students what different tools do. PLEASE.

given the recent national controversy regarding the graphic novels “maus” by art spiegelman i can imagine many people would like to read them. for the time being they can be found on this google drive for free.

friendly fucking reminder that a curved sword has greater cutting power because the force of the swing is distributed across a smaller impact area. a straight sword is better for thrusting

I HAVE DISCOVERED A NEW WAY TO DRAW A SPECIFIC KIND OF INTERESTING NOSE SHAPES

STEP 1: DRAW ALMOST THE ENTIRE NOSE BRIDGE LINE THING

STEP 2: SELECT THE NOSE

STEP 3: USE THE WARP TOOL BADLY

I ALMOST GAVE A CHARACTER THE MY IRL NOSE SHAPE WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN EPIC IF THAT CHARACTER WAS NOT THE EXACT KIND OF CHARACTER I WOULD PREFER TO NOT LOOK LIKE ME

I-

Wow
