draw the squad pls

I know I shared this on my art blog, but here’s the second draw the squad base I drew up. I had a blast drawing this one. If you use this base, feel free to tag me. I’d love to see what people draw with these. :)

I tried doing that Draw your squad based off that Steven universe scene quq enjoy 

is this even still a thing

(tag me please if you use it °u°)

Having troubles with facial angles in your drawing style?

Try a 3D sculpture of your art in your own style in a free program that is simple and very easy to use.

The program is called Sculptris and is a free off-shoot program from Zbrush, that program that you keep hearing about but either takes selling your kidneys or piracy to actually use. 

If you download it and sculpt out a facial model, you can have references for your own work for all of time. No more endlessly searching Google for reference materials or twisting/rotating/flipping a drawing to see if there are flaws. And you can easily edit it to create more facial types. This way, you can make character references for any and every face and facial angle that you can think of.

The program offers mirroring right from the start, so your faces will be perfectly symmetrical. You can turn off the symmetry for things like scars or otherwise. 

It takes a little time. For instance, I downloaded the program on Christmas and, in my spare time, this took a few days of getting familiar with the program (first day) and then sculpting for a few minutes each day, mostly due to my perfectionist nature. And this one isn’t even done. I still have to mold the mouth, ears, and other smaller aspects before I consider it done. However, I was so giddy over the possibilities that I wanted to share this with my fellow artists.

From now on, I have reference for a face in my own style and will be able to create things so much easier in the future.  I hope that this helps you guys and that you have fun with it. 

I absolutely recommend Sculptris!

UH

GUYS????

This really useful oh my goodness. It takes a little figuring out, but once you get the hang of it it’s actually pretty easy. Just watch a couple youtube videos. Seeing how other people do it helps you to make sense of it.

OH BOY LOOK AT THIS HANDSOME SILLY do you know how hard his stupid face is to figure out at different angles? DO YOU??? Now I have a 3D ref!!! AAAHH!! so excite much 3d wow very angles wow

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: sculptris is an amazing 3D modeling tool for how small it is and is a great place to start whether you just want drawing references for your characters or you actually want to get into 3D modeling.

I highly recommend it.

Reblog if you’re a self-taught artist!

I’m curious ^^

ELI SHOWED ME A COOL THING where it generates a skeleton in various angles for you !!!!!!

oh shiiiit it’s the ultimate warmup tool yesss thank you

FEEL IT’S MIGHT 

ORT

This site is SO FRICKIN COOL!!! OMG I am ADDICTED!!!

WHOA WHAT IS THIS DOING ON MY DASH AGAIN

How I remove white backgrounds from scans. I can never get the other method to work that I have seen here on some tutorial blogs. So I found another way which is much more simple in my opinion. I am not sure if it will work on later versions of photoshop. I am using the cs5 version.  Hope this helps someone! Edit: Wow this has picked up way more than I expected. If you have any issues with it working feel free to ask me and I’ll see if I can help you :)
