This works better because elbows and knees are hinges, with one bone overlapping the other(s). While a circle is useful for positioning the joint irrespective of the limb, it doesn't describe that relationship very well.

If you bend your knee, the femur (upper leg) is going to stick out the most. If you bend your elbow, the stick-out part is going to be the ulna (outer bone of the lower arm). One side of the limb is going to be dominant at the joint, so a shape that favours one side is going to be more descriptive than a uniform circle.

weirdest art trick i have is that sketching limbs is easier and neater if you slice em at the joints instead of using those little circles

Shots fired by the Spider-man sequels.

Was ruminating on how Miles and Miguel are technically both 'Spider-man 2' in their respective universes. Got me thinking about the other Spider-successors in the cast, and also what if they all got matching T-shirts or something.

GARM sub-programs (Hessian's field guide)

TEUFELSHUNDE - Vanguard fighters, hulking brutes. Powerful regeneration, better to burn them.

OLD GREY BEARDS - Veteran Alphas. Sneaky bastards. Slower regeneration but clever.

WILD SHUKK - Recent permutations. Multi-eyed Mongrel shapeshifters.

This game developer, Manuela Malasaña, did a breakdown on the comic storytelling of Toriyama's art that I found really interesting to read.

The Anatomy of the Art of Dragon Ball https://manuelamalasanya.wordpress.com/effort-series/

The thing that was constantly noted about Toriyama's art was his strength in clarity and character posing. It's funny to see the choices that he made which played to his strengths, like not using screen tones on the characters (meaning his character need to read well with solid blacks alone) and doing layout and roughs together (meaning he started pages with a good sense of the composition already), being so glibly attributed to laziness.

Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) Post-Credits Scene (Colorized)

Been wanting to draw a thing including that cursed MCU Peter photo for a while.

Tumblr ate the image in my last post so here it is again.

THE GOBLIN

A short comic about a mysterious creature living with the monks of a secluded abbey.

I made this comic five years ago, and it's still probably one of the most personal things I've written.

If you'd like to support more of my comics, consider preordering my new graphic novel, THE PALE QUEEN, wherever you get books.

So I posted a silly doodle yesterday on twitter and now people think it was a tutorial. So I got upset and made an actual tutorial so noone says I halfassed the yesterday's one 😡😡😡

Here you go: ~How I draw braids~ 🩷🙏

Hroo hrah

I think its funny that the Scarecrow keeps showing up in Batman villain team-ups because I honestly think he causes more problems than he solves for everyone involved.

Couldn't figure out which versions of these characters to use so I just mashed stuff together.

Yup. No matter how much time I spend on a comic project, all I want to do at the end is dig a hole and bury the result. Its gotten to the point where I say making comics is like pooping in the woods. Lol.

But even though I can’t stand reading it, that doesn’t mean there aren’t things I like about the final result, or that I’ll always feel that way about it. Sometimes after a bit you end up feeling better about it or there are pieces of it that you remember being proud of.

Also artist tend to be way harder on their own stuff than other people are. So it helps to remember that to other people your stuff is fine. You just have creator brain worms, it’s fine. Really, it’s fine.

I need to know if other artists also experience this. Every time I tried, I have to hide my face and take +2 psychic damage.

All the leg muscles and feet studies I did to level up my anatomy drawing. It all started 17 months ago as part of an art challenge I started on my Youtube channel and it's finally done!

2D pamdemic animation doodles reel (2020-2021)

basically all of the finished and perpetually unfinished animation i did since the beginning of 2020 through 2021

// tw for alucard transformation between [00:23, 00:26), also flashing images during and immediately following this.

i felt like i hadnt done much of anything since finishing school, but i guess ive at least not done nothing :) its cool seeing some improvement!

used: clip studio paint EX, wacom intuos pro, every last ounce of willpower ;u; (took me so long to even start putting this together)

Here's some notes on some of the upper body muscles so you, artist, don't need to look them up

They are not medically accurate, just enough for artists to know the necessary muscles and how they work together

I 100% recommend doing the last exercise I did to be able to actually place the muscles

Here are my notes on the lower body muscles

[pandadrake]

Y'all get to see how messed up my sketches are b/c I have too many dumb comic ideas and too little time.

The context is a Spider-Society AMA, but IDK if anyone can guess the lead up to this.
