my recipe for drawing hands!

(small note that this is a shortcut that is more abt style and ease than anatomical accuracy. it helps to take time to really properly study hands, makes it easier to bend the rules a bit like this and have it still look good!!)

(learn rules b4 u break them or whatevah)

Remembering Cinnamon Cooney

Over the last few days, the art world and YouTube has been shaken to its core with the untimely passing of Cinnamon Cooney, The Art Sherpa. Unexpected, shocking and devastating is just a few of the words I can think of to describe such a tragic loss to our creative community.

I began following Cinnamon many moons ago on YouTube. Her bright personality always put such a smile on my face as I watched her creative painting videos and how she brought her gorgeous canvases to life. Watching her art videos was and still is joyful and inspirational and will remain so for many years to come.

Cinnamon’s personality was pleasant to watch, calming to enjoy and inspirational to listen to. Her techniques and style have encouraged so many of us to try new things and continue on our artistic journeys. She had a wonderful way of showing us how to paint effortlessly and her style was beyond beautiful. I’m going to share with you a few of my favorites below:

I’d also like to express my sincerest sympathies to Cinnamon’s lovely husband, John as well as her three children. Their loss is unimaginable and I wish that I could help ease their sorrow during such a heartbreaking time. I am beyond sorry for their family and how devastated they all must be feeling.

So please take some time to check out Cinnamon’s artwork and videos. There will never be another artist, art teacher, art sherpa or human being like her. To think we were lucky enough to live during her lifetime… I am thankful for that.

Godspeed Cinnamon. You were and will remain cherished forever.

Easy Sunset Skyline Painting Tutorial: Step by Step Acrylic Art for Begi...

[sabrebash]

I have to draw a lot of gold and metal for my work, but wasn't happy with any of the metal tutorials i could find around. I prefer really specific instruction, so after some research i put together what i think works as a generalist's guide/tutorial. Not perfectly accurate, but i hope it's helpful!

One of my long time patrons requested a space painting tutorial with a focus on how to make the stars shine and the colors vibrant. So I recorded a speed paint I made under 10 minutes of how to paint the Milky Way. I hope it helps!

You can find free downloads of the brushes I used right here YuumeiArt.com/space-tutorial It contains a brush set for Photoshop and another set for Clip Studio (converted by Arcane Halo)

Hello everyone! 🎨👋 Today, I’m excited to share the process behind this painting. If you’re interested in art or looking to try some new techniques, I hope these steps inspire you!

Here are the steps for creating this painting:

Steps 1-2: Sketching and Coloring 😊🎨

Start by drawing simple lines to outline the sky, horizon, and tree, ensuring the basic shapes are correct. Then, boldly apply foundational colors to the sky and ground with pastels. At this stage, don't worry too much about the boundaries; the goal is to lay down a solid base of colors.

Steps 3-4: Detailing and Finalizing 🖌️✨

On top of the foundational colors, begin to add detailed textures and nuances, using shades to bring out light and depth. Take extra care at this stage to ensure smooth transitions between colors. Finally, refine the shapes of the tree and the details of the sky, adjusting the contrast and brightness to enhance the overall harmony and visual impact of the painting.

Thanks so much for checking this out!

Excellent painting tutorial. In case you don't know the terms in the last description, "edge variation" means having "hard" or "soft" edges, where hard edges are crisp and good for high-detail, and soft edges are more blurry/smudged and are good for giving objects the appearance of receding in distance. In the painting above, the snake's eye uses hard edges, and its teeth and underside of the jaw use softer edges. "Occlusion shadows" are the absolute darkest parts because they are the areas where no light reaches, not even reflected or ambient light. They tend to be small and are used sparingly. Above, there's an occlusion shadow around the snake's eye. However, the shading of the eye was probably exaggerated to make it stand out more, since it's the focal point.
