[superscourge]

I've had this question since I first discovered your fine art, but I'm too shy to ask, so I'll do it anonymously. How do you manage to draw jackals + fangs well? I'm dying of intrigue!

short answer: im a furry

long answer:

NEAT

Here it finally is! These are all my notes I made when it comes to drawing Lancelot :] I used multiple references and my own figurine of him and tried to incorporate as much as I could

I know lots of people get overwhelmed drawing the SatBK knights because of their armour so here is how I break down Lancelot’s. I hope they are easy to read, I wrote them to my own understanding so hopefully it communicates well enough!

SONIC EXPRESSION NOTES!!

Expressions.... hard to explain... but I hope this is helpful :D

I was wondering can u do a tutorial on Sonic eyes and face?

Okay so, my process for drawing Sonic characters usually amounts to 'severely winging it', like so:

I draw a circle, I ignore the circle, you know how it is. I'm not sure I'd be super helpful trying to explain how I do it dfbfh

However!! I can redirect you to this really good tutorial by @tatck! A lot of the techniques in it are stuff I do as well!

Character Bodies 1 - Applying "Shape"

Sometimes when drawing a character you might have a hard time capturing their... character. You might see a drawing like this [clean lined image of Super Sonic] and may not know how the artist got to that point. In this case, it's best to start looking at characters not as a series of lines, but rather as a group of objects. Looking at an officially licensed example of Tails, we'll try to break it up into objects first BEFORE looking at the lines. We'll focus on the body for now [Sonic Riders Tails broken up into sections, red as the head and legs, green as the body] This green section is the main body, notice that I don't include the fur on him, only his body- once that's figured out placing fur will be a breeze. Now we need to imagine what this shape would be if it were a 3-Dimensional object... even though these are drawings, these characters' parts exist on an imaginary 3D space next to each other. Start by taking note of which direction this part [the green body] is facing and draw a line- if this little green blob were now a tube with top and bottom defined, as circles, you can begin to see our 3D object.

Now that you know about Tails'Tube, posing his body will be easier as long as you remember that his body is 3D. Tip: Try practicing keeping a simple shape like this consistent while bending it and posing it every which way.

Placing the limbs onto this object's 3D surface instead of just "drawing legs" will help you with more silly poses that you may not be sure how to pull off. The shocking thing about limbs... they are also tubes, so separate them like the body, take note of their front, and then STOP.

Take note of where on our body object these legs are placed. In the case of Tails, these legs start in the lower corners of Tails' body, and start a bit on the side, not immediately under. Knowing where on that 3D space Tails' legs attach can help you decide how to bend, pose, and exaggerate without the character losing their shape.

*Every character's shape defines their "character" defines their shape- so don't assume every character works the same way, using this process to analyze shape will help you properly understand who it is that you're trying to draw in every style. There are billions of styles that have graced these characters so don't feel like your art has to match IDW* or current gen artwork *note: multiple artists with different styles are within IDW

Days 37-39 of drawing Shadow everyday

[paiirupie]

posted this on twitter, so might as well do it here.

i always thought it was funny how everyone agreed on shadow's shoes being difficult to draw, i used to struggle w them too, but it's actually more easier than it seems! the key is to visualize the correct shape first and draw the rest of the shoe around it.

the shape of sonic's shoes it's more closer to a triangle type of shape while shadow's is more like an oval.

here's also a video of how i drew the shoes in case anyone needs a more visual reference :]

hope it helps!!!!
