I was wondering, what kind of music do you listen to ? Or what are your favorite artists?

Have a nice day 🖤

More organs... enjoy the polite gore under the cut, my lovelies

And the full thing:

Before I even answer anything, my two overarching tips are always these:

Practice, practice, practice! You have to practice drawing a lot and regularly to build that muscle memory - improvement won’t happen overnight, so please don’t be disappointed! Art has the weirdest learning curves. The kind of practice I recommend is studies, live or from references of real things, regardless of your artstyle (in fact, some of my favourite stylised artists have a very strong ability to draw realistically, and they use that knowledge to supplement their styles!). If you’re a digital artist, you still must also do studies on paper, no matter how much you hate it. You need practice without the experience of being able to mirror, liquify or ctrl +z. Even if you feel the attempts are rubbish, keep doing them!

Immerse yourself in art - so surround yourself with your favourite artists on any socials you use. Make a regular habit of watching speedpaints, process videos, tutorials, and those “fixing your art” videos. Even when you’re not drawing, you’ll be surrounded by art. It’ll help you learn to spot what’s missing in your own works - is it contrast? Form? Colour selection? Have you misunderstood the lighting? You develop your own inner critic that allows you to view your own art from a technical viewpoint

Some really great artists I’d recommend for help with proportions/anatomy/etc are the following (they have other socials, but I’m just putting down their ig handles): @joshhunterblack, @taco1704, @tomfoxdraws, @angelganev, @riylart

Now onto more specific tips:

Drawing faces:

Use the Loomis method! I won’t bother explaining it as thousands of artists have done a better job of this online, but that’s what I use all the time to ensure I have decent proportions

Follow the natural curves of the face, for example:

The orange curves help me orient the plane of the face. There’s also certain facts like the nose begins in line with the top of the ears, and ends at the bottom of the ear. These ‘checkpoints’ are useful when you change perspectives. The eyes sit below the top of the ear (typically). Also eye shape can tell you a lot about perspective

@little-shit-with-zero-control eventually… I have been drawing a little during term but I’ve emerged from my cod phase (but I’ll probably return back when cod mw4 is released) and have been drawing other things. I binged Hannibal post exams, so that’s what I’ll be posting this summer… I think. Even though I call myself multifandom, I’ve been a little scared of posting anything that isn’t cod on here

@thoughts-of-lex depends on what time of the year it is (call me a seasonal artist). I basically don’t draw at all during exam time, and outside of that, I doodle quite a bit on scrap paper and in notebooks. I stopped carrying proper sketchbooks a long time ago, and I just store the occasional scraps that I think look decent enough in a folder

Be careful what you wish for…

Pleasee

@floydianblue …. happy new year to you too XD

Oh daredevil s4 was scrumptious… Murdock is like the final boss of self hate, second only to dean winchester lol. If I had to describe s4 in one image it would be this:

I need that printed on a t shirt and I’ll wear the hell out of it lol. I haven’t actually drawn Murdock much but he is very very fun to draw, so thank you for the ask!

Anon…. heck yeah. 100%. Chapped and broken lips all day every day, this man chews on them and licks them whenever he’s uncomfortable ‼️

I think I did something a while ago where I tried to draw expressions matching his more aggressive voice lines, etc, but something like this:

@unseaworthy ….i dunno how to break this to you, how I draw him is how I imagine him as a 39-42 y/o 😭. His in game model is super baby-faced so I draw him … somewhat young-looking and baby-faced as well. But here’s a vague age map that I drew for him:

At times I guess I draw him looking a bit more youthful but I do generally draw him as how I imagine him to be in his forties

Around 36 for Horangi and somewhere between 39-42 for König. As for their huge rank gap, it’s bc König went straight to the military at the age of 17 but Horangi went to uni first, got into gambling, got kicked out, then joined the military as an older bloke
