How to Draw Native People: a Tutorial/Reference Guide

As requested, here is a basic guide for how to draw Indigenous peoples (mostly focused on North America)! Also please note that this is not an exhaustive list of Native American phenotypes/features, and more like an intro on very common features that can be found in us, and even then, not altogether at once on a single person’s face. I highly encourage the use of references and care taken into research when drawing. I may do a part 2 that goes slightly more into depth, but for now, enjoy part one.

Resouces:

How to draw Native Skin tutorial (don’t draw us red!)

List of Native American Celebrities, which include their tribe(s) and home country, with 1,250 names, to use for your referencing pleasure

How to draw black people by Peachdeluxe, & Black hair in depth by misslaney for mixed black Natives

How to draw East Asian People, a guide by Chuwenjie, for mixed Asian Natives AND because it includes a lovely tutorial on monolid eyes, a shared feature of Native people

get drawin!!

Notes for drawing (and writing) insects

I do something like this almost yearly and it feels like it gets a little longer every time!

Personally I draw either cartoony stuff or hybrid monsters where none of this is mandatory, but here are some of the things I sometimes see missing or inaccurate in insect artwork that was meant to be lifelike, and even if you only do alien, monster or cartoon arthropods, or you don’t make art at all, you might still like to know some of these things!

First off, an insect leg pretty much always has 9 segments. #1, the coxa, is what attaches it to the body and can be a short little “ball” or a whole long piece, but almost always bends DOWN. The last five segments are almost always very short, forming a super flexible “foot” or “tarsus” ending in a set of claws and sticky pads. All spiders have this “foot” as well!

The foot is even still present on the claws of a preying mantis - growing right out of the “sickle” like this, and still used as feet when the mantis walks around or climbs. Basically ONLY CRABS have limbs ending in simple points!

Insects don’t just have side-to-side mandibles at all, but an upper and lower set of “lips” like a duck bill! In some, however, these parts can be very small or even fused solid.

Insects also typically have four “palps” on their head, an upper and lower pair, which evolved from legs and are used to handle food!

Most insects have ocelli, single-lens eyes in addition to their multi-faceted compound eyes.

Comic Paneling Tools in Clip Studio Paint

This is probably one a few people have been looking forward to. Clip Studio Paint was originally created to handle making comics, back before it could even work in color. So they’ve put thought into making a good working environment to make panels easy for comic artists. In this tutorial, I will be covering the basics of rectangular comic paneling, with a look at what tool settings you need to change to create different panel shapes. For an in-depth look at custom panel shapes, I’ll be making another tutorial later. Read below the cut to find out how to use CSP’s comic paneling tools.

WebGL Water is a great water simulator, with a sphere that can interact with the water’s surface. It can be paused which means you can then use it as a reference for lighting, reflections, refractions, etc.

Honestly, though, I'd read the shit out of a series where Supes dressed like that. Bonus points if he acts like he just doesn't understand why there's anything weird about it.

Done and done.

why you should make a webcomic and why you can make a webcomic

why should you make a webcomic?

it’s regular drawing practice

you get to draw and develop the universe your OCs live in

you could draw your OCs making out with context

see number 3

how can you make a webcomic?

make a new tumblr

install this theme https://www.tumblr.com/theme/37061

post comics as you would on any other tumblr they show up on their own webcomic site

what if nobody sees my webcomic :(

too bad you got to draw your OCs making out and nobody can appreciate your artistic genius obviously the world is not ready for this webcomic genius

[violetavenger]

I mean... you're not wrong. Never thought about it before, but yeah.

nothing fuels my muse for steph like watching brooklyn 99

[violetavenger]

I have no idea what I just watched, but I love it.

HOLY SHIT 

[violetavenger]

Oh hell yes.

Good news, fellow depressed millennials, NASA has you covered

Hey guys!  If any of you are interested in simple, fun card games, we’ve just gone live on Kickstarter with the first game from Team Custard Kraken!  It takes about twenty seconds to learn how to play, and we think it’s pretty awesome.  There’s a print-and-play version available free if you want to give it a go, but if any of you would consider backing, or even just reblogging this to get it out there further than I can personally spread my reach, that’d be amazing!

This, among other things, is why I’ve not posted any art in... well, a very long time.  I’ve been too busy drawing at work to draw for fun!

[violetavenger]

Has anyone suggested Digit or Digitte for the ship name yet? Seems obvious.

And then, they both went to a date on a cat cafe.

Also if someone knows the name of this ship is DESPERATELY need it right now ASAP so I can die happy.

They’re not even listening but he tries anyways.
