#sans tutorial

Can you mayhaps, do a tutorial or just something in general on how you go on about drawing Sans? I really wanna try and even thinking about making my own au, but I can't get the skull right.

I got you broski 😎

Alright so I don’t have a lot of progress pics so let’s hope I can explain this. Here we go. 

You will need….. sanspaper… haha … sorry. *ahem*

Sandpaper, A knife, 2 smoothfoam hollow half-circles (can be bought at hobby lobby or online), some strong glue that won’t melt styrofoam, white acrylic paint, black acrylic paint, white thumbtacks, fabric pins, and some black mesh material that you can see through (i used the sleeve from an old grim reaper halloween costume)

Ok so heres what it looks like after everything has been carved, to make the eye shapes i drew the first eye out on paper then traced the second eye on another piece of paper (from the first eye) to get two eye-dentical eye shapes. And I did the same for the mouth. Then you can use those pieces of paper to see where to place the eyes and mouth on the styrofoam

Use a knife to cut out the eyeholes on one of the softfoam half-circles and as you can see I also carved out the mouth. Cut the second half foam circle in half and you’ll need to sand one half of that down until it fits comfortable over the lower half of the front where the mouth would be (giving a more 3d shape to the face) trust me this step is definitely worth doing. 

This is a later picture^ but don’t forget to sand down the sides to make it look more like a skull. I can’t put that into better words just dont forget this step or it’ll just look like you put a ball on your head.

After that you get the sanded quarter circle glued on you can carve out a mouth and nose (optional) Paint the whole thing with white acrylic (2 coats at least recommended) Then you can start painting the eyes, nose and mouth.

Okay Done! …. oh wait the insides! how does the back look???

boop! ok this is a little dangerous so be very careful here. So you can see here I used the other quarter circle as the back side of the top of the skull. Its held together by fabric pins! Dangerous! There’s probably a better way to do this! But if you wanna do this way just be careful and for every pin you stick in facing the front put one in to face the back it totally locks the two pieces together. Then take the black fabric and pin it to the inside of the mask like this. (It never came undone so this is tried and true.) As for the pupils i just stuck in two bent tacks from the other side  so (Make sure to bend them if you do this so they don’t poke your eyes out. 

In conclusion, this is probably not the best way to do this but hey it works. Also I totally referenced these guys and stole ideas from them.
