I really love your artstyle! Could I maybe get some tips on how to give variety to faces? My style has a little same face syndrome unfortunately.

personally i found that when i used to sameface its because i was afraid of making an ‘ugly’ face but!! imo an ugly but interesting face is more fun than a good-looking but boring face. go forth

JUST SOME THOUGHTS! I don’t really like the “go from the top up” advice on drapery/clothes - if you’re having difficulty try it like this!

YES I see the typo… I’m so sorry folks… I was in a frenzied rush to make this…… and I’m too lazy to fix it……

My “draw the squad” memes so far

[horseradishyummyyummy-blog]

Welcome to OC-tober!

A nice idea I had a little while ago, but it’s a very easy premise. You (the artists) draw yourself with your OCs! I feel like it’s something that doesn’t happen too often, but it’s interesting to see, and something I used to do a lot.

Really it’s just something fun, and I hope at least a few people try it! It doesn’t even have to be traditional art

Be sure to tag me in your drawings if you’d like!!

Couldn’t find a couple meme angsty enough so I made my own. Feel free to repost or reblog if you wanna use it!  I’d like it if people also sent me some numbers for me and my f/o’s! F/o list is here.

How to edit traditional art for social media

Being a mainly traditional artist myself it always irks me a little when I see sketches or even full illustrations being posted without any proper editing, making for a terrible presentation of an otherwise great piece. 

So here are my tips for making your art not look shit in just a few easy steps. 

You don´t need a fancy scanner for this, but if you have a digital camera at home I´d recommed you to use that instead of your smartphone. (However smartphone photos are also okay! Use whatever you have on hand)

Take a photo of your piece during the day in ambient lighting and try to make the paper lie as flat as possible. Avoid direct sunlight and artificial light as both will lower the quality of the picture. The inital photo will look something like this:

Not exactly breath-taking, huh? but don´t worry, we´ll get this prettied up. 

Open the photo on your computer and turn + crop it 

For the following editing I use Adobe Photoshop CS2, which is legally available as a free download, so there really is no reason not to get it. It comes with everything you´ll need for the edit.

(Unfortunately I have it set to German but I did my best to make my steps understandable)

Now, let´s get on with the edit! Select “Image” (Bild) in the top bar, go to “Adjustments” and first of all set the “Saturation” to zero (if you have a black and white drawing)

After that, pick “Brightness and Contrast” (also found in “Image” –> “Adjustments”) to brighten up your piece some more

Aleardy much better, hm? But as you can see, the bottom-left corner of the image is quite a lot brighter than the upper-right one, which prevents you from getting an even result. 

Thankfully, this problem is easy to fix.

This way you can even out the brightness of the overall piece and finally use the “Brightness” and “Contrast” sliders one last time to get a clean result

This is already pretty good, but if you want to go the extra mile, you can use the eraser tool as well as filters (such as the liquify tool and sharpness) to remove little sketchy lines or fix small mistakes (classic example: adjust the position of the eyes to make them look more symmetrical)

And that´s it! With just about 5 - 10 minutes of editing you can get your drawing to look clean and presentable! (Coloured illustrations are usually easier to edit, just play around with “Brightness”, “Contrast”, “Color Balance” and “Saturation” until you manage to emulate the original look of the piece.)

I hope that this tutorial will help you level up your own editing from now on. Play around with new settings and see what works; you might discover even more useful options in the future!

DREAMBOATS AND PETTICOATS It’s hard to envision 1950s fashion without the swingdress (or the Rockabilly Dress, as it’s sometimes known) popping up! Almost the pinnacle of women’s evening-wear during the Nifty Fifties, and well into the SWINGIN’ Sixties, the swingdress has yet to ever really go out of fashion. We’ve continually been reminded of its retro coolness throughout the decades with it appearing in such films as Grease and Dirty Dancing, and is now a very popular design for bridesmaid dresses and wedding -wear. Swingdresses were designed to accommodate the Rock N Roll youth of the 1950s, who loved nothing more than to bump n grind to the likes of Elvis, Fats and Buddy and the Crickets! The wide skirt provided plenty of room for maneuver during dances in which the gal would be flung over her partner’s head or between his legs (ooh-er!). It also imposed the occasional cheeky underwear-flash. Very racy! Words by Clara Taylor
