Love to draw

As promised, I finally got enough content to do this ask some justice. I’ve really enjoyed working on this, this week, so if any of you guys ever have more requests like this or the music one I did a few weeks ago, I’m almost always down to give them a go.

Anyway, I don’t have to tell you all how many character design tuts there are out there on the internets today, with a lot of them much more comprehensive and detailed than this, but this is me and this is how I do things. Recommended supplements to this how-to guide include:

For beginners especially, the rules for how heads and bodies are generally composed on human beings… Go here.

For those of you who want to know some basics about drawing realistic humans, or more about human beings from an artist’s perspective… Go here.

Thanks to all the fans that got to watch the Yu-Gi-Oh! movie~~ I am grateful! 😀

Well now for this time’s VR doodle look I used Tilt Brush. It is a fun tool for the expression of lines and light!

I have gotten questions about this, so the next anime series Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS is starting with a VR connection but the characters are being designed by the anime team’s side. I too for the next series will watch and see is what I’m thinking! 😳

Some wickerbeast head explainations

Disclaimer: make sure to do your own anatomy studies as well if you decide to use this! I'm 100% bound to have mistakes in here.

someone wanted to know my process on how I draw talon feet, so now I'm making it everyone's problem.

(Image has alt text, but the description is under the cut as well!)

just like that.

With gross sobbing.

And that isn’t a joke.

But really, I look up plenty or references. Google is your friend when it comes to this. I also have a hand model thing, you know like those wooden people you can bend and move? Yeah, I have a hand on of those.

I still suck at hands. 

I’ll use my current drawing as an example. Note, I’m no expert at tears yet.

so I’ve got my eyes.

next I’ll lightly draw in tears, no over lapping lines, just outlines.

when I’ve got a shape I like, I erase just a bit of the eyes on the inside of the tears that overlap.

I’ll colour normally after that.

Then, on a new layer ABOVE everything else, I’ll paint white for tears.

I play with the opacity after that to something I like

Then after THAT, I add on different layers white bits for shine, and light blue for depth, changing the opacity to what I like. Also changed the tears lineart to be softer colour.
