thank u for your time

A long time ago an anon asked my thoughts about drawing backgrounds, so I finally got around to putting this together. It’s more prop-centric, but it still represents my philosophy to backgrounds. 

I’ll try to do something more about drawing actual background spaces in the future! Please let me know what you think, if anything is unclear, or if you have suggestions for other tutorials you might find helpful!

when will people stop…..shipping real life humans. with other real life humans. and coming up with “””””headcanon”””” for these actual people…..and when will they stop writing fanfiction about - and i cannot stress this enough - real people who are alive and out in the world partaking in their own existence as a person who is not fictional, not pliable according to your imagination, not an imaginary vessel for you to toy around with like a paper doll with no agency because they are a person please i’m so tired just leave them alone

Could you please maybe do a tutorial on eyes?

Let’s take a look on eyes!

1. My first tip on drawing eyes is to stop focusing on the fact that it’s an eye. People are often intimidated by eyes, the windows to the soul, blah blah, it’s still a bunch of lines and blobs of color, and the sooner you stop being afraid of them the better.

2. That being said, an eye is more or less almond shaped from the front, and kind of taaingle shaped from the side. What alters it’s general shape is the upper eyelid. Playing with the shape of the eyelid gives your character a distinct look and allows you to show their emotions, which combined with the position of the eyebrows gives you a wide range of expressions. To me that’s more important than drawing a super realistic iris with tiny specks of color dancing in the shimmering pools of his blue eyes, you get what I mean ;)

3. An eye is a three-dimnesional structure. It’s a ball sitting in an eye socket, and you have to keep that ball in mind. Also worth remembering that the ball is wet and shiny. That glossy reflection is what gives your drawing a realistic vibe.

4. Eyeids and eyelashes throw shadows over the eyeball. This is important. 

5. Never use pure white for the eyeball. White is reserved only for the shiny spot. Trust me. 

6. Asian eyes look different than Caucasian eyes because of a skin fold partially hiding the upper eyelid and the inner eye corner. Pay attention to that detail when drawing your Asian characters. 

7. Pro tip: watch make up tutorials and pay attention to the advice on where to put highlights and where to apply darker eyeshadows to achieve the desired effect. Same with shapes of eyeliners and eyebrows. Then apply that knowledge to your drawings. 

Good luck! :D

Hi everyone!! So, commissions are finally open!! Here are some basic guidelines: 

•I will not draw any 18+ content!! (Please ask if you are not sure if what you want is ok!) •I won't start the commission until I am payed in full!! This is to ensure I'm not scammed into giving art for free!! •Please DM me if you want a commission, do not comment! If you have any questions, it is fine to comment. •Please message me exactly what you want! Things like the position or background! (Backgrounds are an extra $1-2 depending on complexity! Basic colors or designs in the bg are free tho) •You MUST include a full ref sheet for the character! •I can cancel the commission at any time. (I'll repay you of course, and this won't happen unless you are just really mean and demanding lol) •Add the word "Amami" in your DM so that way I know you read all of the rules!! Thanks for reading!! I'd really appreciate if you reposted this and tagged me in the desc to get the word out!!! muah ily all

check me out on my other social media too!!
