Also, only semi-related but, I wish i could read cool stuff about historical clothing (a thing i'm genuinely interested in) without my brain getting fussy and defensive about the "inaccuracies" of the costumes in my Fantasy Story set in a place that Isn't Real and fully has characters wearing Modern Jeans and Black V-Neck T-Shirts......

The Underworld is a strange place and I haven't fully figured out what their whole deal is yet alright?

genuinely starting to wonder if tumblr could've reached financial stability already if they didn't invest time and resources into developing and distributing features that literally nobody asked for and instead focused on garnering goodwill from the existing userbase so that they'd be comfortable giving money to the website

Portraits

Practice the side view and 3/4 view. I use chommang to learn 3/4 view, and I find 3/4 view the hardest to do. Try to find your problem areas. Mine is the chin. I also want to practice the features by themselves such as the lips because they always look quite wonky. I also practiced drawing both eyes but not the entire face. To practice the gaze of the eyes so where the eyes are looking. The trick is the ratio of the white of the eyes to the colored part of the eye. Draw teh eye and then see where the eye is looking, if it's looking too much to the left, then shift the pupils to the right.

Then use the asaro head to learn how to draw from below and from above. And then I can do different angles from below and above like 3/4 above. After that I will practice all angles from real references. A great challange to do is Almed Almoori's 100 heads challange.

Then I'm going practice stylized faces such as manwha (aka hot men 😎). But first I found some videos on how to draw anime eyes so I will follow those. I will also learn how to paint eyebrows and eyelashes and lips from tutorials on tiktok, youtube and pinterest. Since they can draw super pretty eyelashes. I will go around finding references from different artists and their artstyles, also webtoon. I also want to practice rendering faces by using references of arcane and miles morales and kooleen. There's also a bunch of rendering tutorials on tiktok and on rendering eyes, so I will follow those.

That's going to do it for the face unit, if you want to do some more, you can try to go for likism so making your drawing look like your human reference. You can also learn different lighting for the face using the asaro head. Or finding your own face artstyle.

Anatomy

Proko Stonehouse Bridgman Taco Chommang Akihito Yoshitomi Tomfox Morpho Anatomy for scultors Dan Beardshaw Kaycem Pinterest Gvatt's workshop Love life drawing Anatomy for Sculptors

So the way I learned how to draw bones, was that I read some scientific website on how to draw bones. Maybe not most productive way for an artist to learn but nonetheless I was able to learn and obtain a very comphrehensive knowlegde on bones. But you can just watch proko hehe. Lemme know if you want an anatomy tutorial where I actually teach you the anatomy. Dan beardshaw also has some videos on bones.

There's 2 parts to drawing bodies, figure drawing and anatomy. If you only want to be able to draw cool poses, you really don't need to learn anatomy. But if you want to draw hot men and plan on painting and rendering bodies, then I really recommend learning anatomy.

So for figure drawing, you simply just draw the body. I found a lot of poses on pinterest and practice like so. Start with very little clothes references. Start by finding the easy curves first. You can also start with chommang and akihito Yoshitomi. This is just something you have to practice a lot but you'll quickly start seeing patterns in poses, like the same hand pose or the same leg pose. The 2 biggest mistakes you can make is incorrect proportions and not using loose lines. Incorrect proportions is what made my drawings look awkward and was my biggest mistake that I kept making. A hand that is too short compared to the legs is what's going to make your figure drawing look bad. The 2nd one is not putting in those loose curves first which will make your drawings look stiff. I'd recommend looking into the youtube channel love life drawing to learn more about gesture drawing. Also another great thing while not necessary is to use a fountain pen instead of a pencil, this way you won't be able to sketch and focus on details and instead you will have to make confident quick lines. You don't want to spend a long time on each pose, you're not making a finished illustration, don't focus on the details or you'll hamper your progress. After you draw your body, compare to the reference and find out how to improve it, such as proportion or still too stiff. Lemme know if you want a tutorial on figure drawing.

For anatomy, the best way to learn is to learn the bones first and learn the bony landmarks. When you learn the bony landmarks, you will know where and how to place the muscles. So look at references and notice where the bony landmarks are. Next you want to learn the muscles. Using proko is a great way to learn the muscles. To learn anatomy, you want to get references of non-clothed or barely clothed people and identify the muscles and then draw them. This is the best way to practice and that's how I practiced. You can also trace the muscles on the reference on at first if you want. Something that helped a lot was writing down my problem areas and addressing them. Like I didn't know how to draw boobs, I had trouble drawing forearms, or how to draw the armpit muscles, or the arms raised. I also mostly learned everyting off of pinterest.

Hair

I use rinspirit or aeyoops to learn how to draw hair. You can also look at webtoons to copy the hair, or search lineart or manga lineart, you can also look at shoujo manga to learn to draw hair.

Clothes

Learn about all the clothing folds. Find sketches of clothings from pinterest of books below and then draw the folds and identify the clothing folds, keep in mind the tension points. When you get better, you can try to draw from real references. A tip is after a while of practicing, try to draw without references and from your brain, then check your work using a reference, this way you can look at your gaps in understanding and address them. This will also help you to start drawing clothes by yourself naturally instead of using references. You can do this procedure for drawing poses aswell. If you're interest in fashion design to draw non-basic clothes then pick up some fashion design books that teach you all sorts of details to add to clothes such as different types of sleeves and necklines and ruffles, frills such as fashion design book by Gina Dunham, you can also check out zoe hong.

Perspective

I haven't learned much on these but here are some resources.

Framed Perspective vol 1 and 2 How to Draw - Scott Robertson Draw a Box (free course!)

Lighting

First read about lighting so you can understand them, then do the below practices and think about how and why the light is behaving (based on the lighting information you've read.

Value Studies First is to do value studies, which is to draw black and white references, instead of doing real life references go for statues or 3d digital sculptures instead. Using sculputres are better because the lighting shadow information is much more clearer and easier to read than in real references. Also adding color to it adds another unessacry level of complexity so black and white is best. Try to understand (by reading materials on lighting) where the shadow is and why, and also the highlights. Then after blocking in shadow and highlights, you can add your midtones. If you're interest in faces, you can use the asaro head instead.

Still life Search up still life on pinterest and draw them. Things like vases and stuff. You can draw them in color or black and white.

3D Forms Practice drawing simple shapes from all different lighting scenarios. Such as different angles and the light being farther away and closer. This might seem lacklustre but everything is made of 3d shapes, if you can shade squares, cylinders and spheres, now you how to shade the body, because eyes are just spheres, limbs are just cylinders and EVERYTHING IS A SQAURE. The face is made of 2 spheres for the eyes, a half-sphere for the mouth, and a trapezoid prism for the nose. If you get a bit advanced, you can try combining some shapes together, like merging a circle of top of a square, or subtracting a circle from a square. I found a good reference pack by geoartref. You can also just use pinterest.

Drawing is just bascially observation and perspective. And drawing realistic, lifelike and 3d is just learning lighting and shading. If you learn perspective and lighting, your art will level up by 500x and this isn't an exaggeration. If you learn lighting, you can paint all sorts of materials such as glass, metal and gold.

Color For color, just become a graphic designer. JK haha, but it's a great way to learn color. The best way to learn color is to expose yourself more to it and to experiment and explore using it. Find exsisting pretty color palettes you like and create a simple drawing such as a heart and make it into a pattern. Then experiment with choosing different colors for the backgrounds and the heart patterns. You can also add a third element in like a third shape such as circles. The other way to learn color is to find images with pretty colors and to draw them. You can find movie stills to learn how to use color and lighting to create an atmosphere or mood.

Background To draw backgrounds, there's a lot of tutorials on youtube for specific mediums such as acrylic or oil pastel. If you want to learn digital drawing backgrounds, I'd recommend to practice each element seperately such as rocks, trees, grass, flowers, clouds. There's lot of tutorials on those. You can find backgrounds on pinterest and draw them or you can draw anime backgrounds like studio ghibli!

For hands and feet, get the taco book and follow along with chommang on youtube. Just practice a little each day instead of a lot. Like 30 minutes and you'll get good in no time. Use proko to learn the anatomy of the hand. You can also learn animal anatomy, composition and facial expressions.
