On Heads
magikyrp:
No matter how good you may be, if you don’t get the basics it will come back to bite you.
Step 1. This is the biggy. This step dictates the entire head drawing, and or pose for that matter if you are attaching an entire body to this. Start with a sphere, freehand will do, so long as it reads as a ball. You are going to divide the sphere into halves, then fourths. There will be 8...

LET'S DRAW HAIR!
hospitalvespers:
The other day Rose asked if I’ve ever done a post about hair, and I haven’t. SO I WILL! YEAH!!

Quick Tips: On Referencing Anatomy
nightingales:
Reference from real life whenever possible. When you reference or copy from another artist’s studies/sketches/art, you may be copying their mistakes as well. Furthermore, an artist’s studies are their notes and —just like with history or chemistry notes— copying someone else’s notes will not help you fully understand the...
