HEY ARTISTS!
Do you design a lot of characters living in not-modern eras and you’re tired of combing through google for the perfect outfit references? Well I got good news for you kiddo, this website has you covered! Originally @modmad made a post about it, but her link stopped working and I managed to fix it, so here’s a new post. Basically, this is a costume rental website for plays and stage shows and what not, they have outfits for several different decades from medieval to the 1980s. LOOK AT THIS SELECTION:
OPEN ANY CATEGORY AND OH LORDY–
There’s a lot of really specific stuff in here, I design a lot of 1930s characters for my ask blog and with more chapters on the way for the game it belongs to I’m gonna be designing more, and this website is going to be an invaluable reference. I hope this can be useful to my other fellow artists as well! :)

could u do a tutorial on shading? how do u get your lines so straight? im a huge fan of ur art and i would love to learn how !!
Shading (without a specific light source)
1. Flat Colors
2. Add a lighter color or a darker color to the original color in order to add more value to the flat colors.
If you look at the image below it shows the comparisons of the new color that was added to the original color in order to see the difference between the two.
3. Add the shadows in order to show which object is above another object. To create the shadows I used the colors shown below and set them to ‘multiply’. This adds more depth to your work.
4. Use ‘multiply’ to give more emphasis on certain aspects on your work. Like for example the leaves.
5. Add the finishing touches and you are done!
Shading (with a specific light source)
All you gotta do is determine where the light source is. In the image below, the light source is the sun. The little sun will guide you on which parts should be illuminated or shaded.
Here are some examples:
In order to see the difference that shading can do, here is a process gif!!!
As for lines, I believe that everyone’s style is different. Some choose to do little strokes while others do just one big stroke. As for me, I just do one big stroke in order to maintain the fluidity and consistency of the line. Here is a picture of comparison:
If you want smooth lines then just try and draw it in one swift movement. If you don’t get it right, don’t erase the part that went wrong (because it will be obvious that it’s no longer one line but 2 lines because the continuity of the original line and the new line won’t be the same). You have to redo the whole line from the beginning.
If you practice this a lot you will notice that your lines will be better and at the same time, you will work faster because you don’t have to do so many strokes. Btw ��when you draw the line do it fast, like really fast, so that you won’t encounter any mistakes.
Just draw a lot and you will get the hang of it and I also hope you know that each artist has their own style. So maybe the one swift stroke works for me but the many short strokes work for you. Just draw in a way that’s more comfortable to you. Anyway, hope this was helpful and have a good day!

One of my pals asked me to draw their OTP, so I obliged them.
Although the pic could be platonic if that’s what ya’ll wanna interpret it as, since all they’re doing is just snickering at each other.
Also this is literally my first time drawing Symmetra

Hey guys!
I’m a little shy to post this, but I’ve been working on some new content for an upcoming local gaming and pop culture convention.
It doesn’t seem real and I’ll be sharing my first table with the wonderful @vreemdear-draws !
But yeah! Here’s some simple Studio Ghibli sticker designs!

I know the colored version can be an eyesore, but those colors are significant to Lector.
