hello gravity falls nation… how do we feel about the Monster Falls AU? ok, alright… now how do we feel about Monster Falls!Ford being controlled by Bill? personally i feel very strongly about it, hence this art post B] ! here’s my version of Ford (Bill?), in all his six-toed, split-tailed glory :D

(I couldn’t decide what light level I liked better so you get to see both hooray !!!!! Also other Goodies below the cut)

^ reference image, original pencil sketch, early lineart and flat colors :D

the speed paint below is of a version of the final piece that i forgot to erase some things on so it looks so jank sorry 😔. also flash warning!!!!!! 30 hours of work condensed into one minute + constantly changing light and dark layers = Not the Best Un-Edited Watching Experience. also peep the rejected backgrounds lol

in the speedpaint there is a secret, regular, un-possessed sphinx Stanford, however he looked too derp to give him a real top spot in this post. He’s been shackled down here for being too silly XP

I did try to make him less cross-eyed but no dice. I’m considering getting a shaker charm created of him, where the only part that shakes is his pupils….. googly-eyed sphinx ford….. but no…… it’s too silly to bear witness to in the third dimension… he remains contained, for now !

I need to make ref sheets and outline a Lore post next for my version of monster falls/the monster falls gang….. gargoyle Stanley, my beloved….. ough……..

I want to tell a story to the artists and would-be artists out there.

When I was 19, I made a large oil painting of the nerd I would eventually marry. I poured all my attention and care into this painting. It's the only art I have from back then that still holds up as a work I'm proud of today.

I entered it into a judged show at the local art center. It got an honorable mention. I went to see the show with my beloved model. One of the judges came up to talk to me, and highlighted that all the judges really liked the painting. It would have placed, except, you see, the feet were incorrect. They were too wide and short, and if I just studied a bit more anatomy-

I called over my future wife, and asked her to take off her shoe. Being already very used to humoring me, she did. The judge looked at her very short, very wide little foot. Exactly as I'd lovingly rendered it. I would never edit her appearance in any way.

The judge looked me in the eye, and to his credit, he really looked like he meant it when he said "Oh I'm so sorry."

Anyways the moral of the story is that all of those anatomy books that teach you proportions are either showing you averages, or a very specific idea of an idealized body. Actual bodies are much more varied than that.

So don't forget to draw from observation, and remember that humans aren't mass produced mannequins. Delight in our variation. Because it's supposed to be there.

Tutorial on drawing characters/OCs who have some sort of facial paralysis. It doesn't cover all possible variants because I was using mirror as my main reference lawl

Keep in mind that this is an introductory drawing tutorial and has some generalizations in it, so not every “X is Z” statement will be true for Actual People 👍

my recipe for drawing hands!

(small note that this is a shortcut that is more abt style and ease than anatomical accuracy. it helps to take time to really properly study hands, makes it easier to bend the rules a bit like this and have it still look good!!)

(learn rules b4 u break them or whatevah)

Tutorial for drawing characters with Down syndrome!

DISCLAIMER... Please keep in mind that this is an introductory drawing tutorial and has some generalizations in it, so not every “X is Z” statement will be true for Actual People. It's more of an overview of features that are common in people with Down syndrome, not meaning to imply that every person with DS has all of them 👍 thanks.

If you draw any characters using this feel free to tag me!
