POC blush tutorial

Here it is, my long winded tutorial, complete with some step by step action. I see a lot of people talk about wanting to diversify their artwork but not knowing how. This is my help to you. You really should take the time to invest in learning diverse eye shapes as diverse artwork always makes you a better artist. And frankly I’m really tired of drawing tutorials that talk up character diversity but only have the stereotypical “one Asian eye”.

Please share for your fellow animators or aspiring ones!

I give it MASCLES

And I wanna stress that when i say “top of the leg” i’m not talking about the crotch (please don’t flag me tumblr it’s an anatomical term) i’m talking about the point where the femur connects to the pelvis, which is higher up on the hips:

It’s easier to see what I’m talking about in this photo of a man squatting: 

So yeah if you use that measurement when using this technique you should get fairly realistically proportioned legs:

But remember! messing with proportions is an important and fun part of character design! Know the rules first so you can then break them however you please!

Just in case you forget this exists.

You can browse the most popular ones or search for certain colors, themes, and even specific hex codes!

When you find one you like, you can download a wallpaper swatch of it and also select the specific colors it uses to look at more palettes that use those same ones.

Disclaimer: I’m completely self taught so my art is not necessarily anatomically correct nor realistic. This is just how I personally draw shoes.

IT EVEN HIGHLIGHTS THE ULNA BONE  

-Green is the biceps -Yellow is the triceps -Blue is the latissimus dorsi -Red is the deltoid

In the images showing the back, everything is the same but yellow marks the trapezius. Green marks a whole complex of muscles under the scapula.

In the images showing the whole arm:

-Green is the biceps -Yellow is the triceps -Blue is the brachioradialis -Red marks the ulna (the bone that goes from the ball of your elbow to the outside of your wrist)
