Mr. Lorde Should Be Drawing

pausing from drawing to do a tiny lighting demonstration for the anon.

i’ve marked the major light sources. YELLOW is the strongest. PINK is the same as yellow (the sky, basically), but it’s coming in at a steeper angle, so it’s not as strong. the place where pink and yellow meet is where you’re most likely to find the “natural” color of the person you’re painting. forehead, collarbone, on either side of the bridge of the nose, etc.

the BLUE is the reflective lighting.

in this case, it’s false hollywood lighting. if you look in misha’s eyes, you’ll see white reflective dots. those dots are actually the reflection of one of those big white cards you sometimes see on film sets (i have no idea what the official term for them is). film crews use them to reflect light up into actors’ faces so you can see them better.

if i were using a difference source photo, the BLUE might come from water, a bright sandy beach, or even the shirt the person is wearing. it’s secondary light reflecting onto a person’s face from something else that’s being illuminated by the primary light.

i hope that helps? any place the light isn’t touching is the elephant graveyard where the hyenas live. so don’t go there.

just kidding.

those are just the darkest places. under his hair, inside the hollows of his eyes, under parts of his chin. the hollywood lighting card thingys are meant to get rid of those shadows, so misha is actually really well lit in this shot. :)

Beautiful guide is beautiful. <3

Reblogging because I always feel like lighting is one of my weaker subjects. 

A guide to designing wheelchair using characters!

[start ID 2: a white background with the text "STANDARD CHAIRS" at the top left corner, far bigger than the rest of the text, and in a light blue color.

Under it in a dark blue color is text which reads "STANDARD CHAIRS ARE EASY TO OBTAIN, CHEAPER CHAIRS WHICH COME IN STANDARD SIZES, SO USUALLY DONT PERFECTLY FIT THE USER"

Under it is text in light blue once more, which reads "SELF PROPEL"

"THIS CHAIR CAN BE MOVED INDEPENDENTLY BUT IS OFTEN BULLY AND THEREFORE HARD TO MOVE" next to the text is an arrow pointing at a drawing of a black person sitting on a wheelchair which fits the earlier description. The person is grinning while looking to the side and resting their elbows on the arm rests of the chair.

On the left side of the image is text in light blue which reads "TRANSIT CHAIR" under it in smaller size is "SOMEONE ELSE WOULD PUSH THIS" next to the text an arrow points to a drawing of a transit chair

Next to the chair there's more light blue text with an arrow pointing at the chairs handles saying "HIGH HANDLES"

Under the chair is text in dark blue which reads "CONSIDER HOW YOUR CHARACTER MIGHT CUSTOMIZE THEIR WHEELCHAIR. THESE CHAIRS ARE USUALLY DARK COLOURS, SO THINK ABOUT EASY PERSONALISATIONS SUCH AS STICKERS, AND SPOKE SKINS"

Below is a drawing of a small area of the same wheelchair the person was sitting on, right under the chairs arm rests, with some decorative stickers, aswell as a purple sticker that says "CRIPPLE PUNK"

Next to the drawing is light blue text with an arrow pointing to the drawing, which reads "WHEELCHAIRS CAN MATCH YOUR OCS VIBES" /End ID 2.]

[start ID 3: big purple text on the top left of a white background which reads "SOME PEOPLE NEED MORE SUPPORT IN A STANDARD CHAIR"

Under it is smaller text in darker purple, which reads "SOME USERS NEED EXTRAS ON THEIR CHAIRS TO SUPPORT THEM, SUCH AS HEAD RESTS, AND BELTS. SOME USERS MAY USE 'TILT IN SPACE' CHAIRS. THIS IS ALL DEPENDANT ON FACTORS SUCH AS CORE STRENGTH, AND SEATING NEEDS, SO CONSIDER HOW YOUR CHARACTER IS EFFECTED BY THEIR CONDITION WHEN DECIDING THE RIGHT CHAIR FOR THEM"

On the left side of the purple text is a drawing of a pale person in a wheelchair, their arms are resting on the armrests, they're they're grinning with their eyes closed. The wheelchair has a head rest on it, with text beside it pointing towards it which reads "HEAD REST"

Under the drawing is big text in light purple which reads "FOOT PROPELLING"

under it is smaller text in a darker purple, saying "SOME USERS USE THEIR FEET OR TOES TO HELP PROPEL THEMSELVES, AND ACCOMODATE THIS BY REMOVING THE FOOTPLATES ON THEIR CHAIRS"

Next to the text is a drawing of the lower side of a wheelchair with what seems to be the same person from earlier sitting on it, the chair has a belt tightened around them, and the footplates are removed, both these factors are pointing out with light purple text pointing towards them. The person's feet seem to be moving to propel themselves /End ID 3]

[start ID 4: a white background with big orange text at the top left, which reads "ACTIVE CHAIRS" under it is smaller text in a darker orange, saying "ACTIVE LIGHTWEIGHT WHEELCHAIRS ARE BESPOKE CHAIRS MADE TO ALLOW THE USER TO PROPEL THEMSELVES WITH AS MUCH INDEPENDENCE AS POSSIBLE. DUE TO BEING TOTALLY CUSTOMISED TO THE USER, THEY ARE EXPENSIVE AND LESS ACCESSIBLE THAN STANDARD CHAIRS"

Next to the text is a drawing of a pale person in a wheelchair, they're smiling and making a peace sign with their hand, besides the drawing is orange text with an arrow pointing at the drawing which reads "RIGID CHAIR",other text which points towards the side of the wheelchair says "CUSTOME COLOURS" the color of the side of the chair is purple.

Under that is small dark orange text which says "THERE ARE ALSO DIFFERENT TYPES OF WHEELS FOR CHAIRS, WITH DIFFERENT PRICE POINTS AND DIFFERENT QUALITIES THAT PEOPLE MAY NEED OR WANT"

Below the text is a drawing of two wheels, a wheel with three wavey spokes, and a wheel with alot of straight spokes. Next to the drawing the word "WHEELS" is written.

Back on the left side, under the orange text explaining active lightweight wheelchairs, is orange big text which reads "GLOVES"

Under it is a drawing of three wheelchair gloves, one covers the entire thumb, but is fingerless on the rest of the fingers.

One covers the entire hand like a standard glove.

One is fingerless.

Under the drawing is small text in dark orange which reads "WHEELCHAIR GLOVES ARE LIKE MARMITE: SOME PEOPLE LOVE THEM SOME PEOPLE HATE THEM" /End ID 4.]

[start ID 5: a white background, with big green text on it that reads "STANDARD ELECTRIC"

Under it is smaller dark green text which says "STANDARD ELECTRIC CHAIRS ARE POWER CHAIRS THAT COME IN PRESET SIZES, SO THEY MIGHT NOT BE A PERFECT FIT BUT BUT CAN BE LESS EXPENSIVE THAN ACTIVE CHAIRS, AND EASIER FOR THE USER TO BE INDEPENDENT THAN A STANDARD MANUAL CHAIR. THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT VARIATIONS OF STANDARD ELECTRIC CHAIRS, TO FIT DIFFERENT NEEDS"

Next to the text is a drawing of a side facing person in a hijab, sitting on a standard electric wheelchair.

Under the text is a drawing of a standard electric wheelchair, with small dark green text next to it that explains "CHAIRS CAN COME IN DIFFERENT COLOURS, WITH DIFFERENT LEVELS OF PORTABILITY, AND POSTURAL SUPPORT. LIKE WITH ALL CHAIRS, USERS CAN BE FULL TIME, OR AMBULATORY (PART TIME) /End ID 5.]

[start ID 6: white background with big pink text at the top right which reads "BESPOKE POWERCHAIRS"

Under it is smaller text in darker pink which says "SIMILAR TO SELF PROPEL WHEELCHAIRS, ELECTRIC/POWER CHAIRS CAN BE MADE TO THE EXACT MEASUREMENTS TO THE USER, WITH ELEMENTS ADDED TO AID POSTURE AND STABILITY IF NEEDED. THESE CHAIRS TEND TO BE EXPENSIVE.

Next to the text is a sketch of an empty wheelchair fitting the description, the drawing is on the left of the image.

Under the text is a drawing of a person on a wheelchair, smiling and staring to the side. Their arms are resting on the armrests of their wheelchair. There is text next to the wheelchair, pointing at the arm rests which says "ARM RESTS", there is text under the chair which reads "CUSTOM COLOURS", parts near the chairs wheels are colored blue, aswell as the fenders that are covering the top of the wheels.

Next to the drawing of the person, under the drawing of the empty wheelchair on the left, is big pink text which reads "JOYSTICKS"

Under it is small dark pink text which reads "JOYSTICKS USED TO CONTROL THE CHAIR CAN BE CUSTOMISED TO THE STYLE AND NEEDS OF THE USER"

Under it is a drawing of two joysticks, the first joystick is a none-traditional looking type of joystick due to its unique grip, while the second one is a traditional joystick with a ball grip /End ID 6]

[start ID 7: white background with big red text at the top which reads "AMBULATORY USERS"

Under it is three drawings of a brown person with a below the knee amputation in one leg, in the first drawing they're grinning while sitting in an orange wheelchair, in the second they're standing while using crutches, in the third they're walking using a prosthetic.

Under the art is small dark red text which reads "OUT OF THE 12 MILLION WHEELCHAIR USERS IN THE UK, A THIRD ARE AMBULATORY USERS, MEANING THEY ARE ABLE TO WALK TO SOME DEGREE/UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. IT'S TOTALLY POSSIBLE FOR YOUR CHARACTER TO BE A PART TIME WHEELCHAIR USER, AND VARY WHICH MOBILITY AIDS ARE USED." /End ID 7]

[start ID 8: a white background with dark orange text at the top right which reads "SUMMARY"

Under it is smaller lighter orange text which says "THIS ISNT A TOTALLY COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE AND THERE ARE DEFINITELY FACTS I'VE FORGOTTEN, THIS CAN BE A START FOR THOSE TOTALLY CLUELESS ON DESIGNING WHEELCHAIR USERS. RESEARCH IS THE BEST WAY FORWARD IF YOU HAVE BITS YOU HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT. WHEELCHAIR USERS' EXPERIENCES ARE THE BEST RESEARCH!"

Next to the text is a drawing of a wheelchair.

Under the drawing is big dark orange text which reads "HOWEVER" under it is lighter smaller orange text continuing "DON'T JUST GO ASKING WHEELCHAIR USERS AND DISABLED PEOPLE ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER OR INVASIVE QUESTIONS FOR YOUR RESEARCH, THEY AREN'T HERE JUST TO GIVE YOU INFORMATION. THERE ARE LOADS OF ALREADY EXISTING INFORMATION FROM WHEELCHAIR USERS ONLINE."

Next to the text is a drawing of a person in pigtails and sunglasses making a finger guns jesture while grinning.

All the text in every single image has been in all caps, and the images are watermarked with the username of the Tumblr user who posted this comic, @ cowsabungus /End ID 8.]
