Hello! I've rewritten this ask like five times so I'll just come out and say, you're one of my favorite artists, thank you for all the good stuff you put out, it's inspiring <3 I wanted to ask, what's your method of studying anatomy and expressions?
Thank you! <3
Ngl the last time I studied anatomy with effort, I was a kid in high-school. The only book I had on the subject was the Anatomy for the Artist from Jeno Barcsay. It was huge and detailed, literally muscle and bone deep, but I think my brain is wired more for the feel of things than the understanding 😅
I try to find nude or mostly nude pics for anatomy stuff. Adult photo sites rule as a source, people contort their bodies in all sorts of weird ways and I can usually find someone with the build I'm looking for.
When I sketch based on a ref, I try to pay attention to the silhouette, negative spaces and alignments. They help me correct mistakes.
And obviously I love to exaggarate things. (Evident on the waistline and pulled up leg here.)
Same with expressions, I guess. I try to push them but stay within the realm of believable. It's so easy to make a face look uncanny or creepy or w/e with a smile too wide. I have had a couple commissioners ask me before to tone down the initial expressions on their characters, and I think that was a nice reminder to pull me back to reality lol
It can get especially weird with long narrow faces like Buttons'. I find it a bit tricky to make him have a large open smile while fitting it all on his head.
Long-term and long time collaborator Shuicide Holla decided to get a fully hand drawn single cover for his song "Splash".
He is probably one of my longest clients to date, since starting the creative studio.
We have done about 25 to 30 projects since and still working!
I will start to document these projects better on here from this day forth.
This was created over a one week period...
He initially explained the concept of wanting something to do with the story of Adam & Eve.
Additionally, for it to also embody sea and water with the appearance of a mystery woman.
For this final result..
Remember, if you'd like to create something for yourself feel free to get in touch by email or the official website's chat option bottom right of the website.
Be sure to have a budget in mind!
I look forward to crafting something special for you.
sci.Sci.Be honest.Have you secretly indulged yourself into any OTHER ships in Marvel? Things None Peter and Wade related ?
i have only two interests and those are spider-man and deadpool, i'm so sorry. i think maybe i joked around about stucky a few times.
never indulged. i think i don't feel strongly enough about the characters to indulge. i need to be unhealthily obsessed. and fortunately my unhealthy obsessions extend only to peter and wade. i am so normal about literally everything else.
everything else is a "eh. it's okay." or "it would be hot if they kissed i guess. but i don't want it enough to draw it." situation. i've been commissioned to draw other marvel ships, and that's cool. sometimes it's hot. i drew a bunch of frostiron for commissions and those were hot. i'm not into the ship but i like drawing sexy things.
Honestly, not enough adaptations pay attention to this incredible relationship defining moment.
Watson being the one who gets Holmes away from drugs is so incredible important and I can honestly only name Elementary who really made use of it and regonized the importance of this moment
