being a self-taught artist with no formal training is having done art seriously since you were a young teenager and only finding out that you’re supposed to do warm up sketches every time you’re about to work on serious art when you’re fuckin twenty-five

hot artists don't gatekeep

I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

Floorplanner. Design and furnish a house for you to use for having a consistent background in your comic or anything! Free, you need an account, easy to use, and you can save multiple houses.

Comparing Heights. Input the heights of characters to see what the different is between them. Great for keeping consistency. Free.

Magma. Draw online with friends in real time. Great for practice or hanging out. Free, paid plan available, account preferred.

Smithsonian Open Access. Loads of free images. Free.

SketchDaily. Lots of pose references, massive library, is set on a timer so you can practice quick figure drawing. Free.

SculptGL. A sculpting tool which I am yet to master, but you should be able to make whatever 3d object you like with it. free.

Pexels. Free stock images. And the search engine is actually pretty good at pulling up what you want.

Figurosity. Great pose references, diverse body types, lots of "how to draw" videos directly on the site, the models are 3d and you can rotate the angle, but you can't make custom poses or edit body proportions. Free, account option, paid plans available.

Line of Action. More drawing references, this one also has a focus on expressions, hands/feet, animals, landscapes. Free.

Animal Photo. You pose a 3d skull model and select an animal species, and they give you a bunch of photo references for that animal at that angle. Super handy. Free.

Height Weight Chart. You ever see an OC listed as having a certain weight but then they look Wildly different than the number suggests? Well here's a site to avoid that! It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.

A master post of Thomas Romain’s art tutorials.

There’s not enough space to post all of them, SO here’s links to everything he has posted (on twitter) so far : 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12. 

Now that new semesters have started, I thought people might need these. Enjoy your lessons!

People often say to me: “You draw like some kind of inhuman machine.  If I eat your brain, will I gain your power?”  The answer is yes, but there is another way. The key to precise drawing is building up muscle memory so that your arm/hand/fingers do the things you want them to do when you want them to do them.  Teaching yourself to draw a straight line or to make sweet curves is just a matter of practice and there are some exercises you can do to help improve. If you’re going to be doodling in class or during meetings anyway, why not put that time to good use?

Metal Painting Tutorial

Re-discovered this old tutorial I've made The actual painting demo part is very outdated and I'm seeing a bunch of flaws with it (I would mainly advice my old self to use reference for the armor "design" and the reflections + it was pretty rushed too), but the process I've used still holds up to this day/is the same I'm still using so I figured I would share it in case it's helpful to someone! If there are any questions feel free to just ask Edit: Couldn't figure out how to upload the whole thing in full res, I split it up into pieces instead, you should be able to view it in full size by right clicking the individual parts and opening in a new tab (If someone could explain to me how pictures on Tumblr work that would be great :') And yes, I know the links are useless because it's an image, this was originally a PDF that's why

A little [free!] brush pack I made, made up of four brushes currently. Think of v.0 as a rough draft of sorts for these brushes. :]

your style is unbelievably good, got any art tips?

Thank you so much! Imma be honest, I am really bad at explaining stuff. Luckily the stuff I've learned came from other art tutorials I've found on Pinterest. So I'll hope it'll help y'all as well as it helped me :D

And that is 10 out of the other stuff I am and have learned/ still learning. And make sure to draw your fingers in rectangular boxes instead of oblong shapes to give it more dimension.

It's also important to have more confidence in yourself and don't be scared to mess stuff up. I'll admit, I'm still learning that reality pill.

Hope this helps!^^
