you really do have to be some kind of art god to freehand guns at pretty much any angle at all, BUT I will say: the best workaround for this seems to be to get your hands on a prop gun (or a real one but like....) that'll work as the skeleton for your gun design. and then you can take as many photos of it being held at whatever pose you want, Forever. which I think is kind of fun!! I looked for prop guns out of curiosity and you can get lots of different kinds, these are just a few from when I was scrolling:
the more detailed ones run more money, but they ARE fun, and it could be neat to pick out a fancy Replica Gun for a trigun-esque character you're making. I think this one is really pretty, and would otherwise be really hard to re-draw over and over unless you had a ref:
anyway, while you're doing that why not also pick up some fuckin. silicone glass, breakaway beer bottles, and a gallon of fake blood
My condolences to every artist who wanted their OC to have a really cool complicated-looking gun right up until the first time they attempted a pose that would require it to be drawn at a slight angle.
#sorry for adding text on your post op but I was wondering what kind of prop guns were offered#after I read it#and I got curious so I joojled it and I thought it was very fun and neat#I'm starting to form a fantasy in my mind of staging a fake argument and smashing a fake beer bottle on someone's head#you can just buy these??? you can just get em?#you can also 3d model/3d print a gun but for some reason that feels like MORE effort to me. the replicas also just look very Nice.#also I hesitate to suggest this option but you can also order one of those prop guns and take about 4 million photos of it#and then... return it and get your money back.... but I know that's kind of a lot of effort#but like you Could do that. should you wish#granted. ALL of these options are more effortful than just scrapping the idea for a gun in your story lol
