So, I was thinking... After I finish the Darth Maul coloring book, that maybe I'll open up (fanfic) requests for a short time, and honestly the first time lol.
Would you be interested? 😃

Maul Monday Update
Work In Progress Page Edition
Tumblr media
Welcome back to the Maul Monday Update! Let's get right into it.
The overall sketch in blue here, is a sketch over my initial physical sketch (not shown here). The proportions looked a little 'off', so introducing...the white sketch. Drawing simple block-like shapes was pretty helpful. I tend to forget that. It really helped in figuring out how I want his cybernetic legs to look.
Speaking of Maul's cybernetic legs...the yellow sketch. It's layered like a cake. I'll say this: thank goodness for references. I still might adjust a few things here and there though.
Next, I will be finalizing his torso sketch and then ALL of his tattoos and little details.
Who's idea was it to make him shirtless for most of the coloring book?? 😆

Check out my original post here about the coloring book to help support the project (and make sure that you get it when it's done), and here for previous Maul Monday Updates.

Can't afford art school?
After seeing post like this 👇
Tumblr media
And this gem 👇
Tumblr media
As well as countless of others from the AI generator community. Just talking about how "inaccessible art" is, I decided why not show how wrong these guys are while also helping anyone who actually wants to learn.
Here is the first one ART TEACHERS! There are plenty online and in places like youtube.
📺Here is my list:
Proko (Free)
Marc Brunet (Free but he does have other classes for a cheap price. Use to work for Blizzard)
Aaron Rutten (free)
BoroCG (free)
Jesse J. Jones (free, talks about animating)
Jesus Conde (free)
Mohammed Agbadi (free, he gives some advice in some videos and talks about art)
Ross Draws (free, he does have other classes for a good price)
SamDoesArts (free, gives good advice and critiques)
Drawfee Show (free, they do give some good advice and great inspiration)
The Art of Aaron Blaise ( useful tips for digital art and animation. Was an animator for Disney)
Bobby Chiu ( useful tips and interviews with artist who are in the industry or making a living as artist)
Second part BOOKS, I have collected some books that have helped me and might help others.
📚Here is my list:
The "how to draw manga" series produced by Graphic-sha. These are for manga artist but they give great advice and information.
"Creating characters with personality" by Tom Bancroft. A great book that can help not just people who draw cartoons but also realistic ones. As it helps you with facial ques and how to make a character interesting.
"Albinus on anatomy" by Robert Beverly Hale and Terence Coyle. Great book to help someone learn basic anatomy.
"Artistic Anatomy" by Dr. Paul Richer and Robert Beverly Hale. A good book if you want to go further in-depth with anatomy.
"Directing the story" by Francis Glebas. A good book if you want to Story board or make comics.
"Animal Anatomy for Artists" by Eliot Goldfinger. A good book for if you want to draw animals or creatures.
"Constructive Anatomy: with almost 500 illustrations" by George B. Bridgman. A great book to help you block out shadows in your figures and see them in a more 3 diamantine way.
"Dynamic Anatomy: Revised and expand" by Burne Hogarth. A book that shows how to block out shapes and easily understand what you are looking out. When it comes to human subjects.
"An Atlas of animal anatomy for artist" by W. Ellenberger and H. Dittrich and H. Baum. This is another good one for people who want to draw animals or creatures.
Etherington Brothers, they make books and have a free blog with art tips.
As for Supplies, I recommend starting out cheap, buying Pencils and art paper at dollar tree or 5 below. For digital art, I recommend not starting with a screen art drawing tablet as they are more expensive.
For the Best art Tablet I recommend either Xp-pen, Bamboo or Huion. Some can range from about 40$ to the thousands.
💻As for art programs here is a list of Free to pay.
Clip Studio paint ( you can choose to pay once or sub and get updates)
Procreate ( pay once for $9.99)
Blender (for 3D modules/sculpting, ect Free)
PaintTool SAI (pay but has a 31 day free trail)
Krita (Free)
mypaint (free)
FireAlpaca (free)
Libresprite (free, for pixel art)
Those are the ones I can recall.
So do with this information as you will but as you can tell there are ways to learn how to become an artist, without breaking the bank. The only thing that might be stopping YOU from using any of these things, is YOU.
I have made time to learn to draw and many artist have too. Either in-between working two jobs or taking care of your family and a job or regular school and chores. YOU just have to take the time or use some time management, it really doesn't take long to practice for like an hour or less. YOU also don't have to do it every day, just once or three times a week is fine.
Hope this was helpful and have a great day.

Sounds good :) I'll make a note.
Maul Monday Update
Welcome to another pictureless Maul Monday Update ❤️
So here's the scoop: I finished the line art editing for the coloring page of Darth Maul on the throne of Mandalore. AND THEN I discovered, through selecting a layer, that I needed to add line art for the throne's pillow, which has been completed now :)
Going back to a page that I was working on in early January (circa sick!Brandi), I realized that the Maul Force Portrait page needed more editing than I originally thought. AND I completed it! ✨ That comprised of background symbols and pattern line art. I resketched Maul's eyes and ear before completing line art for that. Added and edited more line art before the page was complete. Also, don't laugh to hard, but Maul has nipples in this one for you to color. So, I hope you enjoy that lol

Have you been wanting to look at, or even gaze for hours at Darth Maul? You're not alone.
I've been creating concept sketches and a clear idea for a Darth Maul Adult Coloring Book.
There's a lack of Maul content for this. We've all probably seen some official coloring pages for him, but we just want something more.
With your help, I can make this a reality.
Head over to my Ko-fi, and together we can finally add some color to Maul's sometimes grumpy face.
I will be creating an entire 30 page PDF coloring book. Know that you're supporting an independent artist, who is absolutely grateful for your support and enthusiasm.

It's not cringe anymore (it SHOULDN'T be cringe anymore), just do it. You're doing something you enjoy, who cares what anybody else says! So spread the words my fellow internet brethren.
Spread the Word :)
