There is a 3D program where you can set everything.. i mean EVERYTHING on your character! And it’s free!
you can pick between realistic and anime style… But most important: you can ANIMATE THEM!
Downloaded this but haven’t tried it out yet. Figure some of you might really like this -- especially if you like the character creation part of video games.
Moist and fluffy cinnamon bun donuts that are covered in cinnamon glaze, cinnamon crumbles, and vanilla frosting.
Well these seem novel and possibly worth trying out!
No more melted tomblerones or mising skulls, yyeann!
This is my basic process for pretty much everything I draw. The key is understanding the shape of the garment you’re trying to draw and the shape of the body part you’re putting it on.
Drawing the body first forces you to make the shoe, hat, or clothes fit that body. With practice you’ll be able to skip some steps. This method works the same no matter the perspective or pose. It just relies on your knowledge of what a hat looks like from above, or what the bottom of a shoe looks like. When in doubt, just google refs. Don’t necessarily need the exact angle you’re trying to draw. Look at different pics to give you an idea of how it works in 3d.
Shoes are always a bit tricky because feet are a stupid ass shape.
It might help if you think of hats as a cylinder fitted to the person’s head to help you get the perspective right before you push in detail. note: heads aren’t circles. they’re kind of egg shaped if you look at them from the top.

Tastes and aromas. What a fun little chart!
Not just good for your vocabulary when it comes to describing wines, but this is a great reference for writers too.

I don’t use any tumblr apps, but given what I’ve heard about the disappearance of the reply button, I figure you might all like to see this. This might help a few of you.
Not a very difficult recipe, but a cute one. Sub in whatever other ingredients you’d like instead of avocado and onion if you want! Easy stuff.

DUDE AS A KID I REALLY WATED ME SOME USEFUL GODDAMN SKINTONES
WHERE WERE YOU 15 YEARS AGO.
DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY ORANGE PEOPLE I HAD.
Throwing this on the resource blog because HEY LOOK, FOLLOWERS, DID YOU KNOW THIS IS A THING? Yup, this definitely belongs on a resource blog. This is a vital resource.
I saw an answered question about characters "stuffed in a fridge" (killed for cheap anger from a character) and wanted to ask about it. I kill off an important female character literally minutes before the story begins as motivation for the main character (her brother). This should be a case of fridge-stuffing, but the story features regular flashbacks and she is in every single one, exploring her character right up to the moment she dies. Does that avert the "stuffed in a fridge" trope?
Okay, so, here’s the best way to answer this question.
Replace the female character with a beloved dog. Not a superpowered dog, or a dog that can talk or read minds. Just an ordinary mutt that the main character really, really loves.
And what I mean by that is, the character that’s been killed off should do more than just be something to be missed or avenged by the other character. If doing that doesn’t change the story in some way, then you have a problem.
A pretty concise explanation.
I’ll also do some notes on perspective and dynamic posing later. (We’ll see how dynamic posing goes considering I’m not too great at it myself so… yeahhhh.)
This is great for people struggling with atmospheric perspective.
hey vonna! I just love your watercolor pieces and I think you're the only one I can ask haha... anyways, I'm getting started w/ watercolors and I need to know if the paper have to be really thick? Or just a hardier paper will do? have a great day!
THE BEST KIND OF PAPER FOR WATERCOLOR IS….
Cold Press watercolor. You have to be very specific to get cold press because hot press is slightly smoother than cold press. Col press has more teeth so that it can take in the watercolors and absorb and dry faster. Hot press is smooth, so inking will be easier.
Basically Hot press is for inking, lining, etc,. Cold press is for watercolor and very quick paced inking, washes, etc,.
A simple way to remember.
Here are a few words you can replace walk with.
DON’T stop using the word “walk“ but DO learn when a different word MIGHT be better.
Just in case people want a good scare with an interesting story and haven’t played it yet.

I love your art, its stunning and goregous I could gush and stare at it all day!! How do you colour? like your technique for Ellie's hair! if you wouldn't mind sharing ;__; Have a lovely day!
thanks so much !!!!! and sure though i dont have a SOLID method this is vaguely how things are done (i use paint tool SAI btw)
1. sketch out your hair (on a layer OVER your face). remember layers and shelves of hair that cross over each other
2. add a layer underneath with your midtone color, set your sketch layer to “shade.” the lighter the hair, the more you want to decrease the opacity of the sketch layer. combine them.
3. put a layer over that and get a darker, more saturated shade. start going under all those hair shelf things. THE ACRYLIC TOOL IS THE #1 TOOL TO DO HAIR WITH !! define the crevices. try not to scream. set this layer to “shade” and lower opacity until it stops looking dumb. combine.
4. do the same thing except with a brighter color. go over the tops of the strands and set to “luminosity.” try to define all the little hair pieces, especially toward the ends. realize that youve been sitting in front of a computer for 8 hours.
5. use your acrylic tool and color picker to start cleaning up your strands. make the small hair clumps into even smaller hair clumps. dont forget to keep the crevices dark and the ends light ! realize that it is 4 am. cry.
6. split even smaller hair clumps into VERY TINY hair clumps. make some strands go against the flow. these strands are rebels.
7. lower the opacity on your color tool a little and make it very small. start putting very small hairs straying from the clumps. everywhere. put them everywhere just fucking do it
8. fiNALLy add a layer over top and make a stripe with your light, bright color in kind of a bent shape where the light hits it. down at the bottoms and near the ears and stuff put your darker color, and maybe even a little above your bright streak. blend it up using the water tool and set layer to “lumi&shade.” cry. hug your loved ones and inform them that you are still alive after all this time staring at a computer screen. make a neat gif of the process
done!
