I’m known to persuade I know how to tell people things they want to hear

It took me years to get used to this but now that I’m so skilled I don’t really think about it

Anything you could save until you have a man you really want, don’t do with me Anything you could save until you have a man you’re really looking for, don’t do with me

You are so innocent in that way that you believe every single thing I say you believe if I tell you that you’re beautiful

And it’s true, I’m not lying but it’s much more interesting why I’m telling you that

Anything you could save until you have a man you really want, don’t do with me Anything you could save until you have a man you’re really looking for, don’t do with me

If you have a man you really want and you have a man you’re really looking for you have a man who remembers your name in the morning

If you have a man you really want and you have a man you’re really looking for you have a man who makes the mornings laukeita*

Anything you could save until you have a man you really want, don’t do with me Anything you could save until you have a man you’re really looking for, don’t do with me

Don’t do anything like that with me Don’t do anything like that with me Don’t do anything like that with me

Vielä tunnen suurta vihaa Mutten muista, ketä kohtaan Veistä haavassa kääntäisin Pelkästään siksi, miltä se tuntuu

Come closer, my love, will you let me tear your heart apart?

[sympateawithsugar]

For without you, I drown into confusing nights and without you, yea well Without you I’m halfway to hell

Johanna Kurkela ~ Olet Uneni Kaunein

I think about your neck and your delicate hair Your cheekbones and the shape of your ears I see your smile in my mind and hear your voice The tip of your tongue I feel, when it meets with the arch of a lip You are here, but still so faraway You are my most wonderful dream

refrain: You are my most beautiful dream and the sweetest So true yet still only a mirage You are my most beautiful dream, but the most distant

I think about your fingers, your strong hands I feel your gaze, when it lingers on me for a moment Every moment, that I can be near you too Saves me, though it leads even the bitter to part You are present, but never in my heart You are my gate to a dream

The most tender and vulnerable wish

Elvenpath - Nightwish

The first track from Angels Fall First, their debut album released in 1997.

The perfect song to begin with a great adventure. I think that it suits the first post very well.

How I Study Anatomy

Everyone says NEVER TRACE!! THAT'S ART THEFT! Ok but we can do a little crime in the name of Learning.

Trace to learn, not to earn.

I like to take my own photos, but you can study whatever you want. Link back to original photos, and don't post copied artwork unless the artist is dead, cool with it, or both.

As always with learning, start every sketch with the intent to throw it away (trash for paper, quitting without saving for digital) This takes the pressure off and lets you make Bad Art, which is very important.

So let's make Bad Art of a Deer because I happen to have one handy

Start with a photo of your subject in a nice/neutral pose with all four feet visible. (so not like me)

Freehand copy it. Try not to stylize, focusing instead of matching proportions and pose. Don't get too detailed!

It's ok if your art looks terrible and has broken legs. I've drawn LOTS of deer so I have a leg up. Everyone's art sucks in their own eyes and here's where mine went wrong:

Either lasso-distort (recommended for beginners) or redraw a copy of your first sketch with your reference behind it (scaled to match the main body of your sketch)

Put the original and modified sketches together and compare the differences. Write it down if you want. This shows you where your eyes saw things the wrong size, so you can correct for that next time.

After learning about both deer and yourself, try freehand copying again.

Marvel at your newfound knowledge and skill!

but there's always room for improvement

You can stop here and move on to your real drawing, Or do another freehand-fix-compare cycle. I actually overcorrected my "draws heads too big" and veered into "heads too small."

Another note on tracing: Learning HOW to trace is more important than anything you could learn By tracing. Draw the Anatomy, not the outline. In real life, things don't have outlines, they have bones.

These are from the same shoot which is extra useful for consistency. The lines are minimal and follow where the animals joints are, and only important parts are drawn.

You won't know what Important Parts means right off the bat, which is where in-depth study comes in. You need to do learn the hard parts to do the easy parts right.

Next up: how to study bones and muscles.

I am such a huge horse nerd and I apologize. :( But I’m really tired of seeing girths that are halfway down a horse’s stomach. This may not be interesting to anyone who is not me, but I like to draw fancy saddles and ridiculously long shanks on bits. Also, horses are the only animal I can draw, so I take advantage of that.

I hope this helps some frustrated non-horsey artists in at least some small way. Remember, when in doubt, add some buckles and some rings. :)

The art program I use is Krita but these steps should translate to most other drawing programs, one way or another.
