hot artists don't gatekeep

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

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

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.

this showed up in my FB memories, the lightning bolt trick! I don't sketch out the lightning bolt much nowadays but it's still super helpful when I need to lay out tricky arms and leg poses. And I still apply the logic of it, especially with how I draw arms :' ) Biggest thing it helps with is shape breakdown and visualization, we gotta use whatever works to break down shapes into simpler concepts for our brains 👏💓

I have to draw a lot of gold and metal for my work, but wasn't happy with any of the metal tutorials i could find around. I prefer really specific instruction, so after some research i put together what i think works as a generalist's guide/tutorial. Not perfectly accurate, but i hope it's helpful!

Hello Vika, would you please share what Procreate brushes you use? 🥺 I only found the ones you've used back when you used Sai when searching your blog / the tutorial live stream you released on YouTube. Thank you so much, I hope you're doing well!

Helloˆˆ To be honest, the majority of brushes I use currently are bought, so if you don't mind that part, I can totally share💫

🦔So for lineart/small details/sketching my favourite is Vis Dev Sketch from Retro Max Packs set. The way it behaves is something absolutely unique and I haven't found an alternative in standard procreate set. But I used Technical pencil from standard set for ages before it, so it works just fine too! Although quite differently.

🐿 For colouring I use standard Script brush from procreate! I think it should be in Calligraphy (or how is it called in English?) folder, though I tweaked it so the streamline isn't so heavy. I have it at around 15% or so. 🦦 For shading I use another brush from Retro Max Packs set, which is Gouache Shader Wash. That is for Multiply layer shading, I then do some extra shading on face/hair, and for the face I use Watercolour Eraser (from watercolour maxpacks, I think), and for the hair I use Watercolour wash clean (also from the same set). In general I have like. 3-4 sets bought from Max Packs alone and I tweak and use many brushes occasionally from each set alsdasld I . I really love them. But in a way I think something from Calligraphy set can work (with tweaked steam line). Mine are in Russian so I can only translate vaguely how they can be in English, but something along the lines of Pen with nibble or Water pen!) 🦥 Foooor lighting, it depends. Currently it's Thin Render Solid from Jingsketch brush set (but I bought everything, moved it into favourites folder and now I don't remember which section it was in initially) . But seriously, for this I can feel like you can use script, which will act similarly (though Thin render is softer on edges). I also sometimes use Gouache Clean (from same old Gouache set of, take a wild guess, Max pAcks.) But same as in previous, for this if I was limited to standard set I would use Pen with nibble or Waterpen from Calligraphy standard set. That's mostly is. Considering how many I have now I switch and experiment here and there (especially with backgrounds and such), but that's pretty much it for my faves! I'm sorry they all aren't free;;; I hope it helps!ˆˆ
