#illustrator tips for beginners

[type1dragonwolf]

Hey, just a reminder for everyone

To support beginner artists.

seriously, even if it’s just liking their posts, please go support them!

A feel like one of the reasons that some people quit art is 1. Because it’s hard/tiring and/or 2. Because they feel under appreciated

A big part of the reason I left Deviantart is because I felt like no one wanted to see my art, and I felt overwhelmed by how good other user’s art was.

But when I started on Tumblr everyone was just so NICE, which shocked me. A lot. And when I started out I got one like. One like on my first ever post. And I kid you not, just that one like made my WHOLE FREAKING DAY.

That one like was what inspired me to work harder and improve my art. It was one of the things that made me want to make MORE art, and add a little improvement to each piece. And it worked.

And every little like, reblog, comment, fanart, ask that I’ve gotten, and ever friend I’ve made, have just made me feel SO much better about my art, and made me feel like improving, and I hope I continue to improve and make more friends.

So, please, if you see a beginner artist, like their post. Reblog it. Comment something you like about it, even if it’s only one thing. It could make their day. Or their week, or their month! Maybe their whole life even! I know that I still have a few likes, comments and reboots that I still hold dear to me.

And if you’re a beginner artist, someone who thinks their art is crappy, or even just someone who’s feeling a little down:

You’re doing great. Your art is amazing, YOU are amazing, and there ARE people who care about you even if you can’t see them. Trust me.

Keep going, and you’ll be fine.

◦•◦Simple Side Profile Tips◦•◦

The side profile is composed of 2 shapes, a triangle and a circle, with thes properly aligned it can make a side profile!

Ofc you can change the side of the shapes to suit different side profiles because everyone has different features.

For example: drawing the nose with a circle to draw a round nose instead of a sharp one.

It's better to experiment around to find one that matches the character features your drawing!

(I know the drawing sucks, sorry!)

Look at the first design, and you immediately think: "Oh, it's simple, I know how to design it too."

And do you know what? 95% of people who think it's simple couldn't do it, or at least they did it wrong.

I just uploaded a tutorial video on Illustrator tips will blow your mind and change the way you design. I hope it proves helpful to you. If you like it, please give me a thumbs up. Thank you!

How I Choose Colors.

Choosing colors is one of my favorite parts of drawing. It can really pull a piece together and help portray a mood. There are so many different ways to go about color there is no way I would be able to go over them all. I can go over 2 of my favorites that I tend to use the most in my work though. This is going to be a longer post but I do hope that you stick around. I am not a professional artist so some of the terms I use may not be 100% accurate but I do hope that I can get my point across.

Muted Color schemes.

When trying to convey themes of sadness I will often go with cooler colors. Using muted tones can also help bring about a sort of calmness as they aren't as striking to the eyes.

On the left, the colors are warmer, and while we can see on his face he is experiencing some sort of sadness, the overall color scheme of the image doesn't necessarily convey that. In my opinion, a warmer color scheme is much better for conveying happier moods. it shows more comfort and joy.

On the right, the colors are cooler and it makes the drawing look colder. It makes it feel a bit more like he is feeling isolated and his environment reflects his sadness.

Having a warm background and a cool character(or vice versa) may introduce an interesting contrast though. I haven't tried it myself much but now that I am thinking about it, I think it could work well to show how a character feels versus the way the world is around them.

RED.

A lot of the time when I use saturated reds in a drawing it's supposed to portray some sort of shock factor. I haven't used it much lately but I will show you an older piece I drew for someone that utilized a lot of red.

In this piece the shock is supposed to come from the fact that this character is not completely human. The red sort of aids in this as it introduces a certain air of danger. The cracked mirror portrays the shattering of a facade and that general Idea.

Red can also be used to aid in portraying one character being the one inducing fear or a character being angry. This color language can be used with other colors as well such as yellow showing joy and blue showing tranquility or peace.

Anyway, those are the top two ways I choose colors. I hope that this helped, even if just a little.

For the love of god PLEASE USE ALPHA LOCK ARTISTS IT LIKES WAY BETTER

Or set a clipping layer above the lineart layer

I've been seeing beginner artists use these heavy black lines over soft, cute characters and i just wanted to point this out

[blindedbybriars]

My grandma wants me to start posting my art so here is a concept art for a clownfish Triton Bard/Rogue… get it? Clown fish! I hope you all like them and if anyone has name suggestions I would love to hear them. This character is in fact like a clownfish in the way he will be a man until one day he may transition

Also… Does this count at furry art, scalie art, or something entirely different? I don’t want to tag it wrong

Watercolor art!! (06/2022)

(if anyone knows the OG artist for the reference below, please let me know? I can't seem to find it.)

This piece took me about 5 hours to paint. That may seem like a long time but please remember that I lack watercolor technique. Anyway, I feel I did relatively well in terms of the coloring and line work (it is a bit messy though ヾ(`ヘ´)ﾉﾞ). However, I always struggle with perspective when drawing people/faces. I can never really capture the 3D-ness (if that makes sense.) All my human-ish portraits look very flat.. If anyone has any pointers feel free to share! ☆ｏ(＞＜；)○
