Did you use a tutorial that worked very well with you and would share with tour audience ? I'm trying to get back into drawing but there is just so much to learn and to watch... Is there one you swear by? Thank you for your response ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Hey there, not really? I pick up materials rather than tutorials now that i think of it.

I saw a pen that Paul Heaston has and that's the pen i go for most often these days.

Just little things like these.

Proko might be one that covers more bases and it's easier to digest.

Can you draw a tutorial for full bodies, similar to what you did for faces and heads?

I probably will, but not right away bc I feel like I’m still figuring out anatomy too😅😅 I’m working on it a lot though (the sketches on this blog are mainly so I can keep practicing more dynamic poses & draw more than just a face) & I’m jotting down a lot of tips that are helping me as I learn💓💓 once I have enough I’ll definitely do a write-up & share it with you guys though!! (And I’ll definitely do one for hands too bc I love drawing hands!)

Here are my tips in the meantime, that I’m doing right now (if you’re interested);

1) LOTS of figure drawing, I like to do exercises where I give myself 10 min to draw something, then 5, then 1, then 30 seconds (4 drawings total, I normally just split a page into fourths). Drawing from gifs helps a lot too bc the people are moving and not static.

2) study the masters!! I have huge art books full of gorgeous quality prints, of baroque art, Renaissance, Impressionism…(you can probably find some at the library). This also helps SO MUCH with clothing draping/folds etc. these artists already did the work figuring out how to exaggerate things to make them look as beautiful as possible and we can learn from them😇

3) do studies of your favorite artists on social media!! It helps you figure out WHAT you like about their art, and how you can incorporate it into your own style. (I don’t do this but I should jajajaja). Some of my inspirations on Instagram are: withapencilinhand (super nsfw, look at your own risk😅), hamletmachine, Paul Heaston, Tony DiTerlizzi, etc etc (I can do a full write-up of my fav artists but the list is sooooooo long)

3) focus on drawing rough lines of movement, and build on top of those with shapes. But always focus on getting fluid and natural looking poses 💓 (or just draw noodle limbs like I do) (don’t do that). If I get really lost I force people to take pictures of me and then copy from that 😅 but I know a lot of professional artists & every single one uses references. So don’t be afraid to use them or feel like you’re “cheating” for not being able to just draw something straight from your brain. Bodies are hard to draw! Perspective is hard! Shadows/lighting are hard!

4) think of the bodies you’re drawing as solid forms, and think about line weight & shadows. It helps a lot!!

5) @traceyc-uk shared an amazing article in the comments that explains everything a million times better than I ever could about adding life and movement to poses so they don’t look static🙏😇 I’m linking it here since you can’t click on links in comments🥲

Some examples of what I mean:

These ones are master studies, and I was focusing on line weight, line direction, shadows etc etc

Here are some of my under sketches so you can see how messy and confusing it is before I erase them all and start to go in with the black pencil😅

I hope this helps!!🫶🙏😙

I know I talk too much (it’s a problem that has Plagued me my whole life) and also I’m just typing this up on my phone as I have my coffee. So I hope it’s somewhat coherent & it helps!! & I’ll do a real “tutorial” at some point in the future😙😙😙

Artist Research - Paul Heaston

25/10/22 Paul Heaston focuses a lot on perspective art. In the examples attached to this post, he draws exactly what he sees onto his sketchbook. His art consists of drawn environments and backgrounds with a fisheye like effect. I would like to use his art for how people see everyday life compared to how a child would see the world through their imagination (such as the floor being lava or pretending the couch is a ship)

Research post:

Paul Heaston

Artist based in Denver

Recommend to me by Yyvonne Sweeney I really enjoyed looking at Heaston’s work. His art is interesting then in the way it seems he leaves almost nothing out. He includes the smallest of details and even himself in the image. In the first picture he has drawn his arms and sketchbook. This really captures the fleeting moment to me It feels more real and genuine than if he had left it out. I’ve never seen an artist do this before and it has inspired to try and do something similar myself.

I also like how in the second image he is in a figure drawing class but instead of focusing on the model he captures other artists in sight aswell as the clutter surrounding them.
