hot artists don't gatekeep

I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

Floorplanner. Design and furnish a house for you to use for having a consistent background in your comic or anything! Free, you need an account, easy to use, and you can save multiple houses.

Comparing Heights. Input the heights of characters to see what the different is between them. Great for keeping consistency. Free.

Magma. Draw online with friends in real time. Great for practice or hanging out. Free, paid plan available, account preferred.

Smithsonian Open Access. Loads of free images. Free.

SketchDaily. Lots of pose references, massive library, is set on a timer so you can practice quick figure drawing. Free.

SculptGL. A sculpting tool which I am yet to master, but you should be able to make whatever 3d object you like with it. free.

Pexels. Free stock images. And the search engine is actually pretty good at pulling up what you want.

Figurosity. Great pose references, diverse body types, lots of "how to draw" videos directly on the site, the models are 3d and you can rotate the angle, but you can't make custom poses or edit body proportions. Free, account option, paid plans available.

Line of Action. More drawing references, this one also has a focus on expressions, hands/feet, animals, landscapes. Free.

Animal Photo. You pose a 3d skull model and select an animal species, and they give you a bunch of photo references for that animal at that angle. Super handy. Free.

Height Weight Chart. You ever see an OC listed as having a certain weight but then they look Wildly different than the number suggests? Well here's a site to avoid that! It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.

artists! nightshade v1.0 is ready!

(remember that nightshade does not include glaze, but they're working on an integrated version of both. so if you want both, use nightshade first, then glaze!)

edit: adding this info for those who do not know what i'm talking about. nightshade poisons ai models if your images are taken without permission, and glaze protects you from ai mimicry!

now go protect your art and poison that ai!

download nightshade

download glaze

a couple snippets from a presentation i gave at school this past week on storyboarding!!

‼️DISCLAIMER: I am still a student and have only worked on student and indie projects! This is just stuff that I personally find helpful as an amateur, so feel free to take it with a grain of salt!

Happy boarding, friends! ✍️💕

literally most things that people write off as just ‘textures’ to use in graphics are stolen & unsourced material created by artists or photographers NOT meant to be used as elements in projects without royalty payments. you can say ‘it’s just random tumblr posts they don’t care’ but you wouldn’t want someone to take your work and edit into their work so they can be praised for their beautiful style and creativity even if they just post it on social media w/o profit, would you?? so maybe if you browse pinterest or google images for pictures without finding the original source, you’re using images that you’re not allowed to use without realizing it.

you see it on here a lot especially in (i won’t link anything but i’m sure you know what i mean) those album track ‘aesthetics’ posts, au ‘aesthetic’ posts (you see these less in kpop, but where people use non-royalty free images to kinda craft a visual au), and even just rather typical graphics that have a lot of ‘texture’ elements. and texture packs too!! that’s often where the problem starts; people just collect images (often literal art), compile them in a folder w/o sources, then insist no one can repost those images w/o crediting the person who compiled them. what???

SO may i suggest some of my fave places you can get FREE, ROYALTY-FREE elements that are totally legal to use

creativemarket has 6 free high-quality resources (textures, brushes, fonts, etc), different every week! wow awesome i check it every week

search ‘freebie’ on behance. awesome stuff!!! lots of v nice templates textures and fonts

mockup zone freebies

unsplash: tons of very nice free photographs, not shitty stock photos

pexels: same idea. + they have an adobe plugin so you can get photos without closing your editor damn nice

pixelsquid is a super cool free program (again w a ps plugin that i love) with lottts of super cool hq 3d elements!

as to not make this too long: spoongraphics, lostandtaken (textures galore), pixeden, freebiesbug.

remember these, kids? they used to be so popular on deviantART way back in like 2008 and i remember i used to be so pumped about doing one, though i never really did. so, last night i even had a dream about doing one of these, so i put together some scenarios and here we are, haha! feel free to reblog or save the template for yourself if it catches your fancy! 

please tag your finished meme as  harteus meme so that i and others can find your artwork easily and collected. <3

Hey! Really glad to see you back again and I love your characters! Hope you don't mind me asking but i love the way you draw male bodies and hands especially. aAny tips you're willing to share on your approach towards male anatomy and hands for a new drawer looking to get good at it?

Hello!! I don't mind at all, I'm always happy to share what I can for fellow drawers!

I think my biggest #1 tip to kick off with is (and I know this will be a chore......): stare at men. Just really feast your eyes on pics, movies, really drink in what it is you like best and commit it to memory.

For me, my favourite thing about men, masc and butch presenting people or anyone with big ol' muscles is the lumpies and bumpies. There's so much nuance and variation in the human body and its gorgeous!! I try to look for good bumps and lumps and suggest them in my art with line and shading.

Knuckles, jawlines, cheeks, overlapping muscles, tension. All delicious.

For hands specifically? Plan the shapes, draw sausages or blocks, gather 600 references. I promise it's not cheating. There's a lot of tension in hands, they're super expressive! There are also tendons and bones and all sorts, which means plenty of lumps and bumps.

I enjoy drawing Jacob's hands a lot for this reason- they're worn and very squared, hard-working hands, very lean.

Next, and very important: remember that bodies at rest are naturally soft. Even the most chiselled hunk is a collection of defined but rounded shapes.

Please enjoy Chris Hemsworth in Ghostbusters. He's not at his ultra-ripped dehydrated mega size and he's still fine as hell. He's a big guy! And look at all those rounded shapes!

There is a time and a place for overly defined sinuous muscle, and it's when there's very little fat beneath the skin (knuckles, forearms, elbows, you get it) or when someone is TENSING LIKE HELL.

Work on fitting the rounded shapes into the right places (observation, stare a Lot) and it will come together to make glorious toned muscle.
