accessorizing (august 20th, 2021) — step-by-step process

#it’s been a while since I posted this one anywhere besides comm posts & I’m still proud of myself for remembering to save progress shots #art #artists on tumblr #art how-to #art tutorial #I could write out how I went through this step-by-step if anyone wants btw #tho I’d almost certainly do the process differently now that I’ve begun improving my portraiture

I want to tell a story to the artists and would-be artists out there.

When I was 19, I made a large oil painting of the nerd I would eventually marry. I poured all my attention and care into this painting. It's the only art I have from back then that still holds up as a work I'm proud of today.

I entered it into a judged show at the local art center. It got an honorable mention. I went to see the show with my beloved model. One of the judges came up to talk to me, and highlighted that all the judges really liked the painting. It would have placed, except, you see, the feet were incorrect. They were too wide and short, and if I just studied a bit more anatomy-

I called over my future wife, and asked her to take off her shoe. Being already very used to humoring me, she did. The judge looked at her very short, very wide little foot. Exactly as I'd lovingly rendered it. I would never edit her appearance in any way.

The judge looked me in the eye, and to his credit, he really looked like he meant it when he said "Oh I'm so sorry."

Anyways the moral of the story is that all of those anatomy books that teach you proportions are either showing you averages, or a very specific idea of an idealized body. Actual bodies are much more varied than that.

So don't forget to draw from observation, and remember that humans aren't mass produced mannequins. Delight in our variation. Because it's supposed to be there.

I understand that tall men are our POV characters, but surely being like a foot taller than everyone around them would have some occasional consequences

#youd think thisd happen at least a little bit #I love stuff in fantasy where they'll occasionally talk about how weird humans are. it comes up a few times in the story but honestly I do #love it a lot. especially that troll stuff I thought that was pretty cool #laios touden #falin touden #marcille donato #dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #chilchuck tims #arts #GODAMN IT I SPELT HIS NAME WRONG I KNEW I SHOULD HAVNT HAVE RUSHED THE DIALOUGE
