i made a patreon!

hi im laurence and i draw things. ive drawn a lot of things! if youre reading this you might have seen some of them. i made a little patreon to endeavor the further creation of things, and help me pay my rent ( to keep being in a place and making more things )

there wont be any art thats posted here that isnt eventually posted publically ( although there IS a tier for mailing out goodies that might have exclusive items, i dont know yet! ) so this is just a way people can say thank you if you wanna

no pressure! im just out here drinkin juice. thanks for readin!

the unfortunate truth about drawing scales is that they never really get less annoying to do and getting better at them only means you get to draw more complicated ones

the way they generally work for me is i tend to follow a pattern of larger, flatter scales following the tops of arms and leg surrounded by smaller, rounded support scales - i try to use a lighter touch on the pen pressure while filling in the scales so the outlines end up more distinctive

this works basically the same for the head!

for the longer stretches of body i tend to use the interlocking u’s, starting with one row on the widest part of the body and building downwards

copying and pasting isnt a perfect shortcut, especially if you have a lot of curves, but it DOES save a chunk of time
