Is this good? I tried to not just show how I tend to apply blush but give an explaination as to why I put it in the places I do even though its not always very realistic.

I hope it is still readable even after bluesky compresses it.

Our feature tutorial/artist today is this great set of HAND DRAWING NOTES by the talented @miyuliart! I love that these focus on the TINY DETAILS that make ALL THE DIFFERENCE!#gamedev #animationdev #gameart #comicart #characterdesign #howtodraw #comics #manga #illustration #anime

I see the majority of your posts. If I miss something it's usually the following tab getting a bit jumpy with reposts sometimes but only posts is reliable. I wish they let repost visibility be limited per user but that feature seem to have some back end issue for them.

Did up a little tutorial of what I'm thinking about when I draw a generic mawshot or snarly dragon/beasty for another artist asking for pointers.. Kind of a dragon tutorial, kind of a teeth tutorial, idk. Thing. Enjoy!

did this for a mutual who wanted to know how id shaded a piece. this isnt the most realistic shading, but if you want a very quick and easy way to shade characters on a blank bg, this can work.

speaking of hands...

a digital drawing of a young character with a turquoise bow on her head. She possesses canine-like features and wears a white outfit with yellow gloves. To the right of her is text that reads "Fuck it, let's make a website!"

I've slapped together approximately 173 pages of material that aims to teach programming a personal website with HTML and CSS to artists, animators, writers, music producers, etc.

This tutorial is included in the pay what you can (min $0) patterns! I handsew all of my work because it gives me the ability to get the precision in small spaces I need to get the shapes you all know and love 🐾

Hope it helps someone out!

I was busy thinkin bout
LEGS N FEET

One of the biggest things to me in appeal in a drawing is the contrast between straight and curved in form. It’s not universal for every type of drawing, but for me personally it’s important and often when I see a drawing that feels mushy, it’s lacking this. This diagram is by Stephen E. Gordon (?)

The stupidest thing about learning color theory is that each color has a completely arbitrary perceptual value. It's not a smooth gradient. So for some purposes, you're forced to use certain colors if you want a specific effect.

Thread of random tips I've used for drawing and storyboarding. Updates whenever I come up with something and I remember this exists.

An artwork with the text "Shadow Tips" and a "A (Very small) thread" underneath. The artwork itself is in the middle, which is of Felt's butt, and a hand going between the thighs- both casting a shadow behind.

a quick and short thread on drawing/painting shadows!

I wanted to do a short comic about abstract art. I cant go into as much detail as id like, but I hope you guys enjoy the comic anyway.

Part 1

Art tip I posted 10 days early on Boosty (link in bio)
I don’t plan posting tips yet to come here or anywhere else besides Boosty. I’m not an expert of any kind, but I will be happy if it will help anyone/if someone tries it out.

I've been talking a lot about shading studies that I have been doing, but I haven't talked much about the process. Eventually, I will actually break it down tutorial style. Helping people learn will hopefully stop them destroying the community with AI. Here is how my values look.

Reposting this guide from twitter because I COOKED here. (and still refer to this at work even now!)

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.

Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

This very cool figure drawing website was put out there by @swirlingskirts.bsky.social, who also runs @rprepository.bsky.social
Kim's been bringing us cool stuff for a long time. Please give her a holler.

I saw this style of d666 table on a blog somewhere and never saw it again, but it's one I'd like to mention as a helpful tool I've used in the past for developing scenarios in my hexcrawl. It's a bit more vague than creating a A->B adventure but it's good at coming up with some connections

A closeup view of an ornate cuirass and tasset, showing heart-shaped designs along the edges of the metal panels.

An extremely ornate ceremonial halberd head showing etched and blackened designs with various plants, mythical creatures, and heraldic designs.

A closeup of the shoulder intersection of the cuirass, pauldron, and bevor of a piece of 1500s field armor. Some ornate etching of the crucifixion is visible in the lower right corner on the cuirass.

Here are 543 images (1.5GB) of items at the Philadelphia Museum of Art arms and armor exhibit
