Drawing clone helmets with expressions is one of the funnest things istg

Also this is Den’s first time on Jedha I swear I love him sm

I sincerely encourage you to take a look at Tropical Bird on YouTube/Tropical_Bird on Instagram if you wanna get into drawing helmet expressions. From what I’ve seen, they make really funny clone animations too.

a few people have commented on the textures in my art, so I wanted to share this texture i made that I've been using in almost all of my recent drawings

feel free to use. i set the layer to overlay mode and put in on top of the drawing like this (usually with a grain overlay too)

Decided to connect the moles on my left arm with a mascara pen

(Yes it goes up to my shoulder because I was bored.)

#the summer hikaru died #hikaru ga shinda natsu #my art #? Yeah sure technically #Absolutely love that Yoshiki has moles on his face and some visible on his arms too #i realized too late that I probably should’ve drawn some kind of mark so the mole places were visible but oh well #its not super detailed cause even with a fine tip it would bleed a little and make it look like a blob #I originally started it with an ink pen before switching to a more skin appropriate pen lol #thats why the hand bit looks a little blurry #temporary tattoo #i guess lol #Rip to the part on my elbow.

I bet Gustavo knows how’s exactly small he is and uses his charms and adorableness to get tips , and it’d work

Peppino pays Gus very well (esp after postgame) so theres no need to have tips. He lets Gus have the jar there anyway, but at the cost of having Pep occasionally come up behind him and catch him conning these poor customers

#pizza tower #peppino spaghetti #gustavo #arts #mine #answered #he makes so much in tips its ridiculous #its silly #esp when people ask for like something extra #like a drink or more appetizers #and they see him literally hop off the chair and jump UP to another counter #he weaponizes it SO easily despite being such a nice and normally sincere creature #also #suggestive after these tags >> #but i DID have like and alt answer to this with pep actually smacking him on the ass lightly #and saying 'workin hard for those extra tips today i see' #like definitely poking fun at the sleazy manager schtick #it only works bc if it was anyone OTHER than gus he would never be able to do that without exploding #and also it is just a bit cute to think of him as only being confident enough to be that playful w gus #so i guess that could qualify as pepstavo #but its also like #if youve ever had those kinds of friendships that are just silly and crass like that #just crass old men being awful w each other

Do you have any tips on how to draw hair?

Yes! With a super fast 10 minutes sketched tutorial! (I’m sorry, it is kinda ugly, I hope you can understand it well enough)

The main 3 things you absolutely need to know are:

- hair has ITS OWN VOLUME no matter how flattened you want your hairstyle to be, there will still be a little bump (this one depends a lot on your artstyle tho)

-always follow the vertigo, once you have selected where it will be. Hair will always start from one point and flow out from it

-follow the head, neck and shoulders masses. Even if you can’t see them, they’re under there, and hair flows down and around shapes!

This is it, mainly! Hope it’s going to be useful, but if you guys would like me to make a more in depth one, or wanna know something else, let me know!

Hopefully this isn't too weird but I love the way you draw hands, it's like the way you draw them seem just as expressive as the faces on the characters, I just love how they look and I hope I get there someday (if you have any tips please share but if not that's okay!)

I love your art and characters and how you draw their expressions/poses, it's all so nice!

Not weird at all, I'm very flattered! Hands have become extremely important to me, I tend to put a lot of effort in trying to get them look just right. I'm still not where I want to be with them but improving nonetheless. If you ask me, a thoughtfully and intently drawn hand can be almost as expressive as a character's face, just like you said. They're such complex and intricate structures with massive emotive and aesthetic potential, it'd be waste to not make use of them in art.

#as for the tips I guess I like to reference my own hands a lot #take photos and use mirrors if you can't get the angles right otherwise #look at your hands like you've never seen them before basically #I also love to watch animated films and really focus on the hands because due to the nature of the medium a lot of animators have really #perfected simplifying hand shapes and gestures in a way that is easy to read visually and communicates feelings extremely effectively #it's funny many artists develope a signature way of handling hands and I often look at their art and wonder if their own set of hands looks #similar to their style #I try to give my ocs a bit of variation but my default hands (and Machete's hands) seem to be just my own little gremlin mitts #at least more often than not #answered #anonymous

Do you have any tips on drawing yoshi’s tongue? How do you draw it so dynamically?

Huh, I wasn't aware that I drew Yoshi sticking his tongue out so "dynamical" in any way for someone to notice. Regardless, I do have a tip on how I did it so I guess I can try explaining how. Bear with me though as I'm not too good at explaining how I draw certain stuff 😅

Some of the official Yoshi artwork, models, and sprites have shown that Yoshi kind of has that big bulge at the end of his tongue (sometimes that bulge is straight up a ball lol). Other than using a bunch of official stuff for practice and references, I just imagine Yoshi's tongue as some kind of a ball attached to a string (sort of like a paddle ball) whenever I sketch it out.

Then I just draw the "string" doing random movements like being all wiggly, zigzag and whatnot while the "ball" is still attached to it.

So I guess you just go crazy with however you want to draw the line and then you attach the ball at the end and there you have it! A dynamically drawn Yoshi's tongue or something XD

Hope this helps! =)

There. I fixed him. He has antennae now

I want to draw him in performance outfit in the future. Although, it's not like he was doing much of stage stuff while at the troupe

How do you go about coloring, if ya don't mind my asking? :3 I'm particularly interested in anything after the flat colors stage of the process

Aaah thank you for the question!!! My process is very messy, but as an example I gave a little simplified walkthrough for how I painted this piece for example - hope it helps!

It's easy for me to tackle my process if I have everything important in different masked layers so it's easy to edit anything

Here's also a timelapse for this piece, start to finish!

my tools and brushes:

SU Cream Pencil my go-to everything brush!

juls oil brushes the brush set I use for painting backgrounds!

 ×ェ× texture brush set brush set I also use for adding texture to backgrounds

Miyukiko's "Sharpening and bringing details" Auto-action

Visual library my go-to library full of environment, character and anything references!

Also I am by no means an expert and I'm still learning!! This isn't a guide to what's right or wrong, it's just my process

Quick crash course on how I colour things

After tumblr ate the ask about how i colour i made this a normal post- also for @fantasyproductions

We start of with a nice base colour. For clones we use a more orange-y base. Shift the hue to a more darker/red tone for shadows and a more warm yellow one for highlights.

Use refernces to shape out the muscles and also have somewhat of an Idea from where the light hits.

Base : HEX #464b55 Shadow: HEX #464b55 Highlight: HEX #464b55

If you want to add :

tattoos -> multiply layer at 90-80% with HEX #464b55

beard shadow (?)-> new layer with Ultra Hair Brush HEX #798ba8

water/wet look -> new layer (26%) Watercolour brush HEX #ffffff (erase the inside of the space and smugde with fingertip tool. Also goes above shading layers

Shading layers

Add multiply layers (100-80%) with blue or purple tone ( i used #99dbff and #6060f0)

Cut space where you want the light with the lasso tool and smoothen the edges with fingertip tool

Add overlay layer (100- 85%) -> warm yellow for "normal" light and purple/pink tones for bounce/ mood light

Brushes i use

Line art: Mameo pen ID 1870475 Shading: standart CPS Gouache brush Hair: Ultra Hair brush ID 1936397

Hope this helps^^

[deoidesign]

Hello I stumbled across your profile and I just say I love your art style! I've gotta ask, how'd your develop it? And do you have any advice for someone who can't decide what they want their art to look like?

Thank you so much!

To be entirely honest, I don't feel like I truly "developed" my style. I feel a lot more like I finally let myself draw it! But I am incredibly deliberate with my work, and I do have clear tendencies and preferences... So I'll do my best to explain how I got to where I am now as an artist.

It's important to remember that "style" is something of a nebulous concept. It changes with you as you grow as a person, and most artists can work in and emulate many art styles! Art really is a form of communication with yourself, and your "style" is a reflection of the tendencies and preferences you have. My art does not look how it looked 5 years ago, and my art will look different 5 years from now too. I've changed, and my art reflects that!

(2012, 2018, 2023; two pieces I remember being incredibly proud of and considered my best work up til that point, and then my most recent piece)

What you need to do, as everyone will tell you, is study the fundamentals (anatomy, perspective, form and structure, lighting and shadow, color, and composition) so you have the proper tools to make the most informed decisions possible about your art, and so you can deliberately break or follow rules as you please for your desired effect. I know it sounds silly to learn rules if you're not gonna be following them anyways, but they help you be much more consistent and intentional! More knowledge is NEVER a bad thing to have!

However, I know it's a bit demoralizing to just be told to study fundamentals. Everyone knows you're supposed to do that, but it takes YEARS to learn, and people want their art to feel how they want it to now (which is very very very normal to want!)

So on that front, I have 2 follow up suggestions that I personally find helpful (of course, everyone is different, so it's not like this is the only way to learn! But, if it resonates with you, it might mean it will work for you too.)

1: Separate study from application

I believe this is beneficial for a few reasons:

If the goal of every piece is learning, it can become frustrating, overwhelming, and boring

It's harder to self critique when there are multiple variables to investigate. I like to study one fundamental at a time

Study (usually) works best with a large quantity of output, whereas application of knowledge (finished pieces) is often more satisfying and effective when you get to take your time

Deliberate practical application of what you've learned in a finished piece helps cement the learning in your mind, and also lets you get satisfying finished pieces with noticeable improvement after a good study session!

I've found that keeping these things separate helps me improve faster and more deliberately, and it takes a lot of the pressure off of both aspects! I'm not worried about my studies looking beautiful, they're just to learn! And I don't feel pressured to critique my finished pieces, cause they're just for fun and to make something pretty. I personally find this helps me have a much healthier relationship with my art.

When studying, copy! Copy things as best as you can, all the time. It gives you something to compare to for self critique (and of course, if you're copying someone else's work and you share the study, ALWAYS give credit, share the original, and say it was for study.) In application, don't copy: reference. Make it yours!

2: Let yourself do the things that feel "easy" or like "cheating"

This one is simpler: nothing in art is easy.

If something feels easy to you, most of the time it's not because it's actually any easier... It's because it's part of your natural tendencies and preferences! This took me forever to realize, but as long as you're actually doing some study, then you're learning. You don't need to learn All The Time. When you're doing the "application" portion, you should let yourself do whatever is actually the most fun and feels easiest! This is where your style will start to come through, and where you get to learn about yourself. Take the pressure off, and have fun!!!

The only cheating in art is theft. If you're not stealing, then it's allowed!

My whole life (and yes, still!) I'd get regular criticism about both my style and my subject matter. You will too. You'll see a thousand different styles, and a hundred different things to admire in each. Your heart will ache that you don't draw like others do.

But art is a form of communication with yourself. It's like your voice, or your accent; just something that's a part of you! It can be fun to mimic others', but when you sit to have a conversation you speak naturally. (I know some people want to and do change their voice, but this is a metaphor and metaphors aren't perfect)

Don't stress so much about what you want your art to look like, especially if you're not sure. There's a lot of value to be had in constant experimentation, I think it'd be rather boring to only draw one style the rest of my life. What I draw is what I want to see, right now, for who I am now! It's a part of me and comes naturally, if I let it!

I hope this helps!
