#and I got curious so I joojled it and I thought it was very fun and neat

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.
