Copics are very pricey upfront, but a refill costs around the same price as the marker. That single refill can fill your marker up like, 10 times. 

So lets say you pay $5 per marker. If you toss them and replace them, there goes $55 per color.

If you were to just refill them, you’re out of pocket like, $10 by comparison. 

Imagine how you might feel if your wildest and most wonderful fantasies were brought to life. That’s probably how a child would feel if their drawings of strange and wondrous characters were turned into real-life plush toys, which is exactly what Budsies does.

BECAUSE IMAGINE IF AN ARTIST WANTED A PLUSH OF THEIR OC

THEY’D HAVE THEIR OWN PLUSH OF THEIR OC

Got the amazing @hernyart to draw some obscure characters! This one is Peridot from Puchi Carat. Puchi Carat is a 1997 Breakout-style puzzle game developed by Taito on the Taito F3 System. Like with many Taito games, quite a lot of care was put into the character art, design, and animation. The gameplay is simple, but fun - you direct the ball based on the location on the paddle the ball hits, and gain combos by disconnecting large portions of the gems from the top of the screen (which anchors the gems above the stage).

Fun Fact: Interestingly enough, many of the characters in Puchi Carat are named after the stone they hold. This is not dissimilar to Steven Universe - for example, the character on the right in the screen shot is named Garnet.

i deleted the previous ask because my internet wasnt uploading the images correctly, here it is again.

i tend to draw fat bodies with most of the weight/fat being balanced in the stomach/upper thighs, thats kind of where it settles for me. dont be afraid of drawing stomachs that actually stick out!!

i think its good to remember theres a lot more flesh on fat bodies, and that flesh can accumulate in a lot of different ways. sometimes legs and arms can be very skinny and the stomach area is more fat. sometimes its evenly distributed and theres a lot of fat on the arms and legs. 

i feel ya’

so this is what i learned from mistakes

ok so imma go for the most common “ya better not do that”’s that i notice sometimes

#1

Don’t make hair this plane

gIVE IT VOLUME!!!

don’t draw the hair sticked to the head shape, idk if i explain myself. Have u seen those drawings on Deviantart where some people uses bases???? >>> like this <<< yeah don’t do that, both hair and clothes…don’t

In my art style i tend to draw the hair in parts. It’s obviously not necessary, DON’T BE AFRAID TO EXPERIMENT.

#3

Don’t make the hair fuzzy like, I see this specially long hair. Remember is long hair, LONG HAIR. 

#4

Hair has place where it starts and where it ends growing. I recommend to draw the limits before drawing hair if u feel u have problems with it

#5

GIVE YOUR DRAWINGS A FOREHEAD.

….there’s not much to say about this one tbh, but remember to give them a forehead!!! it really affects when you draw hair, or at least in my opinion

ONE LAST TIP:

U S E  R E F E R E N C E S!!!!

i know i know, is a pain in the butt to hear this all time, bUT IMMA TELL YOU A GOOD SOURCE OF REFERENCES THAT HELPED ME ALOT TO IMPROVE DRAWING HAIR, LIKE, ALOT

ANIME

OK SO HEAR ME OUT

Even if you’re not a fan of anime u should check out some pictures or watch a mainstream or whatever anime, I understand there’s people who are totally not into it and even hate it, but if you really want to improve drawing hair you should give it try. Study the way the hair looks, There’s obviously animes where the hair is super detailed but just check the simple things

ex.

(Durarara,,,, 100000% would recommend tbh)

here’s a pic where you can see the basic form the hair has. Try imitating (not copying) the hair style, you can add more volume, make it a bit shorter, do whatever you want!!!! You can try drawing the hair style in your art style, it helps, believe me!!! it obviously won’t be perfect at the first try, it’s all about practice

If you really decide to not give it a try, check your favorite artists. If there’s someone you really admire, study the way they draw hair and try imitating it.

As you can see i’m not the best explaining….sorry bout that, but i hope i helped at least a bit

Here are some examples of hair!
