hey there! sorry to bother again, but I was in a animating mood, so I ended doing a short animation of Machete for practice. It's kinda messy since I havent done that for a while, but hope you like it!
.
#HOLY MOLY#it's genuinely unfathomable that people are willing to put this much effort into my characters ;_; you're wonderful I don't deserve it#he's so expressive in your style#an exasperated eye roll#what has gotten him all peeved this time#I don't know animation terminology but I love the squash and stretch (?) on his face#especially his eyebrows#and the (I don't know what to call them) eye bags? facial wrinkles? they're really selling the “for the love of god not this again” look#the final frame is just golden#perfect squinty frown mwah#also appreciating his silly little opossum teeth#it's beautiful I've looked at this for five hours now#thank you so much!#gift art#pouletpourrisoldblog#own characters#Machete#“sorry to bother you again” bother me??#if you take the time to create something like this I'm putting you in my will

Get Started Drawing...
...even as a complete beginner!
In my efforts to help some friends who are only just starting to learn to draw (as adults! glorious!! <3), I kept digging around for resources that cover things I remember learning in the various art classes I've taken...but that does a better job than I can of laying it all out in a comprehensive, but not overwhelming, manner. (I am far too prone to rambling as you can see from this post, and bounce around topics as I remember them, rather than in a sensible order.) I've found a few guides here and there that cover one thing or another decently well...but I've finally found a free site I'm really keen on as an overall source if you're just starting out with learning to draw!
It's incredibly clear and concise, whereas many of the other sites and books I found could sometimes be overwhelmingly detailed. It's arranged in a way that reminds me of the flow of art classes, starting at the very first steps--how to approach art if you've never done it before, and the fact that you only need basic tools to begin with. If you go in approximate order, it then establishes that you should start sorting out a solid foundation by practicing simple lines and shapes--the same way you learned to write letters so you could ultimately make words, sentences, stories... This includes some neat little practice exercises with questions to consider while you do them, so you also learn to see and observe things like angles and proportions, which are critical for being able to accurately draw more complex things.
It evolves from there into how to take those basic shapes and turn them into simplified human bodies--and from there, how to consider more complex 3D versions of the shapes to give those bodies a sense of dimension and physicality. It even touches on things like composition, silhouette, negative space, and line of action--all in a quick, straightforward manner. It plants the seed of understanding for these more complex illustration concepts, which you can then research further, armed with relevant terminology to dig up more in-depth resources as they catch your interest!
The style itself is usually simple, but even if your aim is to draw with a more detailed style, this one can serve as a base sketch to add that detail to. (Combine learning this base with photo studies, plus more detailed style guides for wherever you want to take your art, and you could use this as a base for comics, cartoons, anime, realism...the core concepts and skills remain the same!) There's also examples of how to adjust for varied body shapes, so it provides more flexibility than some drawing guides do, which often only focus on one "ideal" body type. (This style can also be used for that, if it's what you want--you just adjust the proportions of the basic shapes as you need! But this provides examples of how to handle variety, which will give you a better foundation for drawing people and characters so they don't all look the same, instead of having to figure out how to adjust for it later on.) The Shape Dolls for reference are also incredibly delightful, and a great cheap way to have a little pose reference mannequin of sorts!
There's also links to sources if you want to dig into concepts more deeply--available both as a general source page, as well as some specific topics including relevant sources at the bottom of their respective pages. There's also a patreon with some extra thoughts that is fully accessible for free, but has a paid option if you want to support Tan for providing such a lovely resource! (Also they have a legit vegetable farm?? How cool is that.)
So yes! If you have any interest in learning to draw--whether you've ever tried before or not, and no matter your age--try looking through this site, and let it guide you through the process!
#art reference#reference#art resource#art tutorial#learn to draw#how to draw#beginner drawing#tan henderson#not my art#this also has a concise (but thorough!) guide for facial proportions!!#it covers all the specifics I've wanted from a guide!#but everything else I found either skipped some points or were INTIMIDATINGLY COMPLEX#(it also reminded me that typical mouth width is approximately equal to pupil distance)#(learned that one in school but haven't seen it since)#(that changes with facial expressions squashing and stretching but it's an accurate starting point)#I do not know Tan I just found this today and got SO EXCITED I wanted to share it with EVERYONE#also gosh I am so joyous about adult friends learning to draw#my heart is FULL I am so happy for and proud of them#also also I haven't made a paper doll with brads in AGES#they're so neat

Olath - Aberrant familiar
#art#illustration#artists on tumblr#digital art#digital drawing#dnd#dungeons and dragons#homebrew#my art#my ocs#Setting: Heim#Olath#I love this creature actually#This is Tethry's very fucked up familiar Olath (They/it)#They started their life as a familiar as a normal housecat#some lore fuckery later and they end up like this#I have a bunch of lore written for them but i'm not gonna dump it all here#They behave and function like any other familiar#they're just.... creepy#they don't speak or make facial expressions#they only use body language and the caster/familiar bond to communicate#they come up to about Tethry's hip at the shoulders so it's a big kitty#Tethry is also incredibly embarrased by them and hasn't ever summoned them where anyone else could see#Olath is very attached to him and will drape their whole body weight over him like an oversized lap dog any time they get the chance#I already know i'll be drawing this horrible creature more cause they're very fun to draw#also can you tell i played a worrying amount of the Endless Forest as a teenager?

First(?) date (based on the last scene of chapter 28 of Deeper in the Dark!)
I've been meaning to draw more, and also draw more SatoYura tbh. So here's a (I wish I could call it quick) sketch! I've actually been experimenting with poses and facial expressions lately, and it's a challenge lol. Maybe I really should practice some more... also can you tell I sort of gave up on the hands there at some point
#gojo satoru#gojo x oc#jjk fic#gojo satoru fic#jjk oc#satoyura#my art#i reaaaally need to practice poses + facial expressions more lmao#they're so hard to draw#also hands but that's a given#pls dont mind wonky anatomy i am trying and occasionally failing

I want what they have
#I just think they're so cute though and I don't know if it's gibbon facial expression or what but#it's kind of funny how they look like they're comforting each other like one of them had a bad day at Gibbon Work. it's rough out there

Fellas can you take this somewhere else. Maybe. Just not in the fucking halls. Thanks 🫡
I couldn't resist drawing out these tags I wrote on a dif post LMFAO
Moe just has...... SO many problems.......
Close-ups of my fave shots!
The elusive Líf...
#fire emblem#feh#i'm like. split between feeling proud of this and feeling So Over It LMFAOOOOOOO#which is why. lighting could be better. but i don't care enough to put in more work than i already have LMFAOO#LIKE... ONE COOL PART is this could be my first fully colored comic piece w completely original dialogue???#where like. i didn't quit at any point of it. EXCEPT. skimping on the backgrounds. but again. more effort than i'm willing to put in#but i think it still counts bc my only real plan was to have the askr pillars/walls as framing/backdrops#ALSO the characterization... in the panel where lif walks into frame. it's SO fun to me#they both look at lif. but moe is Not subtle about it. looking directly at him. while alfonse side-eyes him.#and the most IMPORTANT detail. is that alfonse and lif are making the same kind of face. like 🤨#there is SO MUCH POTENTIAL. in alfonse and lif sharing facial expressions. in having the same knee-jerk reactions to things.#and it's espppp fun to figure out bc you're only working w half of lif's face. it's all in the eyes/brows and SOMETIMES!#SOMETIMES!!!! it's in the nose! in this illust he is more relaxed/resting so you don't see it here#but i'm TELLING you. adding some scrunch to the nose can add soooo much expression-wise#this took longer than i expected it to. also. which is why i'm so over it LMFAOO#but i do think the extra time was worth it... first run of the last panel was too lighthearted/jokey#capturing some conflict between moe/alfonse was the right choice. in how intensely this starts off (tonally)#AND! in showing how they do butt heads at times. in fact sometimes they clash REALLY badly!!!!#which is actually so huge bc i've wanted to capture this since the beginning. how they're so similar but also so opposite#that a lot of times! they understand each other deeply and cover each other's basis. HOWEVER.....#other times. it's just catastrophic. like it isn't That intense here but you can probably see how it goes horribly wrong.#i am... always thinking about it.... and only occasionally stressing myself out about it LMFAOOO#fe alfonse#fe lif#moe tag#summoner oc#my art#my comics

The Vatores Present... A Decennial Vampire Bash: Part V
Previous / Next
Helena: Lilith, hold on. Who's that? [shudders] Is he watching us?
Lilith: Don't worry about him. He's just a dusty old windbag who wouldn't know fun even if it came up from behind and slapped him on the ass.
Vladislaus, telepathically: You reckless, impertinent girl. Your continual lack of discretion will be the ruin of all of us.
Lilith: Oh, stop being dramatic. And stay out of my head, old man.
Vladislaus: You'll one day grow to regret your ungratefulness, daughter.
Lilith: Do not call me that.
#ts4#sims 4#sims 4 story#ts4 story#simblr#story: hzid#bramblewoodvamps#just a small nugget of intrigue to lock away in your head for later#idk about this vlad though... is he still recognizable enough???#it was a very rushed makeover & i didn't have a real vision#but everyone say THANK YOU LILITH for giving us all that particularly vivid metaphor#the way their facial expressions unconsciously mirror each other's#they hate that they're so alike#anyway helena's just like nope none of my business not worth asking any follow-up questions at all!!!#lilith vatore#helena zhao#vladislaus straud

stick a fork in him, he's done
#furry#anthro#3d modeling#lowpoly#blockbench#well I want to add some more facial expressions#and then try out the animation stuff in the program#but he's basically all rigged up#his fingers and toes and tail are flexible#I'll likely go back and split the ear meshes up so they're also flexible#but i NEED A BREAK TO DO OTHER THINGS GOD

Hey what's going on friend?
You want to talk about it?
/nf /genq
i keep getting bullied but today was especially bad it is a long story, but if your okay with listening, also eitherway thank you
first these dudes in my class kept making weird comments ['do you want to [-] me', 'does she know how to talk? Do i have to sign to you?', and meowing and making yippee noises at me] and similar shit,then the girl behind me kept kicking my chair and tugging at my keychain [alastor] even after i told her to stop and so i couldn't focus on anything, the teacher moved me from my spot [i dont have any friends at the school so i wasnt talking to anyone, but she was changing up the seating plan which was kind of annoying since my brain is so used to going and sitting on that exact spot and so my brain had to load it but i could deal with that honestly, its just the combination of this and other shit]. I kept hearing my name whispered around but i didnt know why or what since i have shitty hearing so it didnt hurt as much but still wasnt exactly fun Then when i went to the bathroom girls were kicking and punching at the door to get it to open and i had to just sit there silently until they went away, and when they went away they closed the lights and closed both doors [the toilet has 2/3 mini hallways since its the 'fancy' one], and so i had to spend most of break feeling around the walls to get out and find the light because it was one of my first times using the upstairs one. and of course this triggered a fucking panick attack because why wouldnt it and of course instead of being maybe a tad empathetic, they started laughing [maybe because of how i looked? idfk]. and then we went to the assembally [assembelly?] for some random ass speech by the principal which i couldnt hear because, again, people were tugging at my bag and after i pushed a girls hand away she started insulting me and my looks/personality and started fucking meowing at me, which her and her friends found 'hillarious' and then the bell rang and so i had to just ignore that and go to the pickup area, when i was there there were already some students talking to my youngest sister and insulting her bcus they knew she was my sister and she started crying which hurt more because she's 7 and she had no beef with them other than being my sister :I this all happened today and i had to just pretend nothing happened at home because my mum wont do anything and she certainly wont let me go back to my old school and sorry if this is a bit a lot /gen i am very overwhelmed right now
#ask#thank you and sorry#the-alakazam-attraction#by the way i can talk#and im not nonverbal#but at school im lowk mute and i dont fake facial expressions for random people#eitherway i havent told anyone at my school that im autistic and im not a furry?? [no hate btw i think they're neat]#<-do they think alastor is a furry?????????????#i doodle elfs so maybe they think the long ears are cat ears????#im just trying to find reasons but i might be stupid#also this took a lil long to respond cause had to eat and i typed too much

afterthoughts
#pokemon rejuvenation#oc bracket#mona#mona's first run#art#this has been sitting in my files since may and ive slowly chipped at it till now. my god.#im like. half happy with it. i enjoyed making it and put a lot of thought. however.#the passage of time. i loathed not finishing this sooner.#god its hard writing mona's dialogue. the main takeaway relies on how they face the After when paragon is complete. this is given that#everyone lives including Ren.#and the general unanswered question if they remain as the interceptor after xenpurgis. or if they're left to live. is the world still#dictated by Karma? who knows! i don't know shit! so their dialogue was made with that in question.#i want to give mona an eventual talking style. i have it in my head but writing it doesn't come out right.#this dialogue was a while ago but somewhat still accurate so i kept it for the most part.#a lot of internal thinking in them. thats smth huge i put down for them. rabbit heart rabbit brain#goes a mile a minute. craves the day where they don't have to worry about running. etc.#i hope to get dialogue down. someday.#anyways. i love the shenanigans i put down here.#the lost camp kids are not the same ones in canon i added new ones for funsies.#and mona's crush is not. rlly shown. but it is present. i like to think the obvious point for them crushing isn't rlly nervousness#but loosening up a lot more. especially facial expressions.#and renmona goes out on a shopping trip. i hope i added character to make mona unique... im v worried about that. enough of that though#anyways. had many breakdowns. suffered many art blocks. bon appetite.

It's just that I fell in love with a war
Nobody told me it ended
Meet Aspen! Raised in the church of the grave, Aspen spends their days conducting funerals.
#artists on tumblr#d&d#dnd#earth genasi#cleric#mitski#been rping them recently too and i'm kind of obsessed#they're actually meant to eventually die by getting their head bashed in so when that happens i'll draw that#(inside their skull its a geode)#they don't really make facial expressions its partially because their face is very statue-carved. partially because of autism#this is actually a redesign i have drawn them before years ago. imagine this but way less fabric and less cohesive hair#+ a kind of lame geode scar. once i draw that its gonna be Way more of the head chunked off lmao might as well commit
