(ARCHIVED) I’m Still Crying

Although this year was basically trash, it was the year where I met so many wonderful people and joined tumblr! This year was horrible but in a way, I’m kinda glad it happened!

But I heard a special date’s coming up tomorrow and wanted to redraw a really old drawing I made as soon as SUF ended, so I’m not dead yet >:0

Here’s the old (and really bad) drawing:

I don’t run many, but I got a few!

My main blog, basically anything I make but SU: @cotgar2

My SU art blog: @cotgar3 (You are here)

They're drawn so well how do u draw them-

Aaaaaa thank youuuu!! 🥺🥺

Uhhhh I am 100% not qualified to give advice on drawing hands, hands are hard and honestly I really need to work on them, but I’ll do my best to at least help :00

Here’s just kinda a general thing of what I do when I sketch out hands. It helps (at least me) to make a box before sketching the hand, it kinda reminds me of the thickness of the actual palm area beforehand. It also helps me recognize where to put the fingers later on

I tend to exaggerate some of features on the hand, specifically the muscles connecting the thumb to the palm and the muscle just below the pinkie. I do kinda recommend going off of an actual hand when learning though, it helps you get the basic idea of parts of a hand. Then you can go wild! Get rid of a finger, make the palm or fingers blocky, whatever you want!

For posing, I HIGHLY recommend looking up a reference, or better yet, looking at your own hand. Even as someone who is a complete idiot and rarely uses references, I seriously recommend using your own hand. You could even take a photo of it and use that as reference for whatever you need! But that way, you can hopefully get the proportions you want!

I am so bad at coming up with weapons and names so both can be changed lol. I couldn’t really think of what to change about the weapon, and somehow I feel like Taffy wouldn’t even have a weapon (or at least an offensive weapon)? Like, he’s just too fluff if that makes sense lol. So I changed the design on it as if Taffy still had an influence on it :0

I also tried to keep in mind that when Steven fuses, his clothes are still there, so his shirt is on top of the sweater but under the vest, his jacket is tied around their neck, they just have the jeans, and (as with basically all steven fusions) his sandals were too small lol. Taffy kind of just has a form, so some of his clothes can be omitted.

Personality: just a bubbly boyo who loves soft and fluffy things and is happy to be himself/themself (couldn’t decide the pronouns :P)
