20 ways to draw a more consistent character

TAKEN FROM HERE: https://sites.google.com/site/houseotwisted/junk/20drawings

1. Draw the most common appearance for your character. This is your comfort zone. (Color)

2. Draw your character from the front, the side, and the back. This is something called a ‘turn sheet’. It’s a little boring to do, but will be very helpful to you in the future to have on hand.

3. Draw your character from the front, the side, and the back, but have them in nothing but their undies at most. This is to show off how your character is built. Drawing nothing but a straight pant-leg with no structure under it is no way to learn! (Skip this if your character doesn’t wear clothes)

4. Draw your character at three different ages than they currently are. (Must be noticeably different. No ages: 4, 5, and 6, etc.) Color one of them.

5. BANG! Your character just heard a loud noise right behind them. Draw their reaction!

6. Draw a bird’s eye view of your character.

7. Draw your character feeling very happy. Show body language.

8. Draw your character feeling very angry. Ditto.

9. Draw your character feeling very sad. You know the drill.

10. Draw your character with a different body type than they usually have. This helps you map distinguishing features onto different ‘templates’.

11. Draw your character if they were the opposite gender.

12. Draw your character as a different species than they normally are.

13. Somebody has just handed your character a live duck. Draw their reaction. Keep them in character.

14. Mary Sue the HELL out of your character. (Due to being asked “What is Mary Sue?” several times, I have included a link to the evil that is Sue: [Click if you dare.]

15. Draw your character lifting something heavy. (no magic allowed!)

16. Draw your character in an opposite role than they appear in your story/continuity.

17. Draw your character doing something they enjoy.

18. Draw your character doing something they do NOT enjoy.

19. Draw your character in a dynamic pose that is not a profile shot (from the side).

20. Draw the most common appearance for your character. Color it. (Pssst! See if it improved from the first one you drew. I bet it did!)

What's your superpower? No rerolls!

wow. what a superpower.

“No rerolls!” Says the guy who definitely rolled something cool and not… Sand magic

multiple ears

Zombie Physiology, the power to use… Zombie powers. Delightful.

Despair Manipulation the power to manipulate despair.

Soul manipulation. Guess I’m Dirk now

Sweet~

You know this started as a warm up sketch, but then I started coloring/painting it. Once again I get distracted from my main goal.

So sweet, it gave me diabetes.<3

Art Trade: w/@chibidragonfandoms

First off, the V-Lines were YOUR idea! But, he’s hot so I’ll forgive. <3 Thank you so much~ 

Reblog if you're a self-taught artist.

Wanna see how many there are.

Same here

If by self taught you mean years of doodles, crying over your pathetic art, tearing up thousands of drawings and then finally drawing something you’re proud of… ONLY TO HATE IT 5 DAYS LATER

Then yes. I am self taught.

hell yeah i am! //raises both hands and feet

*raises everything* That’s definitely me!

Yupp

Self taught and still practicing. 

yeah sure

Anyone want to do a collab? 

I know that’s really random, but I kind of want to do one? Lol I’ve actually never done a collab before xD 

(Also I’m working on stuff, I’m trying to get this page active again, sorries it’s been super quiet 8D;;) 

What type of collab are you thinking of?

I feel like I just woke up from a hangover. I have no idea what this is, one came from a Skype conversation with @zettapoke @chibidragonfandoms @dixie-biscuits

We need to make a game called “Guess which picture was a Skype conversation” 

I’m going to be making an animatic, but I like to make things harder on myself, SO I’M GOING TO ADD VOICE ACTING TO IT 8D 

I’m still figuring out the script, but I know that Dipper, Mabel and Bill will appear in the video. Just to make things easier, I’m going to play Mabel, @itzaphex is going to play Bill, but I need someone to play Dip-Dop lol. 

I’m most likely going to post auditions on some voice acting sites once the script is finalized, but in the meantime, if you’re interested in playing Dipper for this and possibly other dumb animatics/videos, feel free to send me an ask! ;u; I’ll need to see some examples or a demo reel, but otherwise, keep an eye out of the auditions~ 

This is not going to be a big thing, this is going to be a dumb little video, BUT there’s a small chance that I’ll do something more serious or do something based on my Paradox Falls fic. Juuuuuuust so you know :T (i kinda want to do a small radioplay of pfau ok lol) 

Dude, if your doing Mabel auditions, please tell me. I do a killer Mabel Pines

Stream doodles! A lot of these are based on the Axolotl Cult chats lmao. 

(I accidentally made a slightly AU version of Bill, who shows up in the chats lol. He’s post-finale Bill and, although he’s regenerated, he has no power really and he’s just really pissed off at his situation lol. We give him hugs and he acts like he hates it, but he actually likes hugs a lot xD HE’S SO ADORABLE UGH) 

Also more Rena and human!Bill stuff 8D I can’t wait to watch this episode of Baby Fights!! rena’s gonna kick his dorito ass lololol
