changing my answer for that one ask meme from a bit ago my fave thing to draw is definitely any pose where arms are up on an unclothed human body

i didnt use a ref for either of these and (which im not saying as a weird brag bc im aware its not Accurate, but more because:) even just cheesing it and adding shapes and lines of where i sort of remember stuff Vaguely Goes is so so fun + is so visually inchersting regardless of accuracy...all the bits and shapes that connect + interlock and fit together and overlap and squish and stretch and pull and pop out are soooo fun....i love it

hello firstly I wanted to say I love your art and artstyle, it's really nice and is inspiring me so... secondly, I've been meaning to get into art and drawing again (used to doodle in class a lot and called it art hahah!) so do you have any advice on how to draw bodies and facial expressions? Do you use references? How long did it take you to come this far with your art? I apologise if that's a lot to ask, either way your art is great and thank you for all of the amazing content you put out! have a nice day 😊🤍

thank you for the compliments!!

ive been drawing since around 8 years old, but i only got serious about it when i turned 14. and i didnt start to get into digital work until i was 17.

and yes i always use references! what worked for me the best was when i started my classes, they made us do gesture drawings, which is basically finding the line of weight of a figure. it helps with posing and things like that, and helps your art look not as stiff. as for anatomy, i started off doing studies from stock photos online. honestly it helps. theres this website called Line Of Action that you can set a timer flr and draw from the refs they give you. it hinestly helped me a lot

i really didnt get decent at facial expressions until last year when i took a class for it lol. but i can say that sometimes looking at your own face is a good start and does help, even if the structure isnt exactly the same.

i also sometimes browse through here to get a general idea of facial expressions and how the face works. another thing you can do is pay attention to how faces move in movies and tv shows. taking the time to look at how faces contort in anger, pain or sadness, etc during movies helps, because theyre usually exaggerated anyway

overall i hoped this helped!! good luck on your journey getting back into art :3 and thank you again ❤️

How do you do backgrounds? I'm having the hardest time 😭😭

same tbh i dont draw them often BUT when i do, i use tons of ref. you can look up some basic 1, 2, and 3 point perspective with lines and boxes and such, like what they make you do in art school, but in my own works i usually use very loose single point perspective, if that LOL or just isometrics... i just idk kinda eyeball / fudge it xD cuz 2 and 3 point perspective usually requires me to put the vanishing points outside the canvas (unless u r into extreme perspective / warping) and thats Mad Work tm for me oops... ik photoshop and clip studio make perspective lines and whatnot for you but i use sai and work dumber & harder so yea :/ also, pro tip, things irl rarely line up perfectly to a vanishing point, so while it’s good to know how perspective *works* u dont need to be so meticulous about it imo... AND if you are drawing organic forms like mountains or snow covered hills, etc, those dont need precise perspective either so? id just say look up ref photos for bgs you are going for! youre not limited to one photo either u can combine multiple pics to suit your interest.

like for example i wanted to draw a snowy pic so i looked up “japanese snow painting” and found this (tsuchiya koitsu - snow at miyajima), i really like the trees and sky here:

but i wanted a a korean style wall so i found these:

so the sketch i came up with is as follows:

sry its so rough i havent started working on it At All and excuse the massive pink censoring lmao im drawing a personal piece so i dont feel like showing what it is LOL but basically this required No vanishing point or whatever!

these are stuff i had to make for school:

that ones from this dragon ball ep:

from the royal tailor (2014) i lov that film. i watch a lot of historical kr films / dramas and i screenshot as i watch for general bg ref, specific objects, designs, poses, etc! u just need ref pics lol and veeeery basic / rough / eyeballed perspective tricks! and if you arent doing interiors / buildings, you might not even need to make any lines or whatever!

^also sometimes i uh,, will draw the person first cuz idc abt anything else really lol and fit a bg around them which results in some whacko ass layouts that are a little wonky but idgaf XD and as you can see, none of the lines perfectly meet anywhere so yolo i luv this pic tho so idm :3c

i also love the look of old asian paintings and they didnt have perfect western perspective either so whatever, right?

like maybe u dont even need a bg LOL

these all slap!

Reigen and Dimple meet Sans and chara xD

I got the idea while thinking on a drawing prompt for rahafwabas (since she wanted one about either ut or mp100). Welp that silly one was what i got just after sending a prompt. I didnt wanted to add her more prompts overwhelming her, so i feel the urge to draw that one myself xD. (I know it looks crappy but idc xD)

Time: idk 1h+ (not much in my standards :3)

Dimple may be thinking: this kid… its not a normal ghost or evil spirit…

I think Dimple can feel something isn’t right with chara. It feels as a weak spirit but also as a very strong one. (The LV might reset but it was there and that’s what dimple is feeling) xD

Now Reigen… he is just looking at the chubby skeleton in front of him. He doesnt understand what is happening. Has he gotten psycho powers too or is really there a fricking walking and living skeleton? Has he gone crazy?

Poor Reigen, he is in an internal debate with himself xD

Sans is just standing there, his eyesockets black, making his creepy face xD idk what he is thinking of Reigen x3

I wanted to use references for better drawing, and sketch more than just two thumbnailing images about different perspectives/poses. Looked a few images of reigen very fast, but in the end didnt use any. I really need to use refs xD
