Someone was asking me about braids. This is roughly what I do when I draw them (but more…. in 1 sketch layer, all in one step, because I’m too lazy to do the proper outline, but if you’re confused, or still figuring out how they works especially when twisted or in motion, then outline will help).

You can also try braid your hair or someone else’s hair to see how it actually works, the folding, and also the different styles.

This is really very basic and just to get you started. Braids aren’t scary! They’re so much fun to draw ok ok ok <3

This is for people who already know the basics of women, but needs help with the types of shapes of women. Not all women are the “stereotypical” skinny waist, big bust butt and boobs. We all have different shapes, and I think when it comes to art, you should draw different types of women. Here is a great tutorial by http://lihsa.deviantart.com/ . Also, Warning : Bare breasts are shown in this tutorial.

YEEEEEEEEEEESSSSS I’VE BEEN LOOKING EVERYWHERE FOR THIS POST

i just want to say, for people reblogging this, that this is called the “rule of thirds” and the tips i wrote here by no means are things that you HAVE to do! these are just tips i use for myself, i kind of made up the bubble rule and i dont even know if im using the rule right haha so there theres that! i just like to use it so i know my bubbles have a place to go

examples of me using rule of thirds to separate elements in “Rachael and Penny”

i got the information a long time ago from a thread on penciljack called Storytelling 101, specifically this image

kelseyum asked you: On the topic of help posts, do you have any tips for drawing the head in profile? It’s something I struggle with pretty consistently; for some reason I just can’t understand it. Anything you could say on the subject would be extremely helpful for me! (sorry if this sends twice; tumblr is being super weird!)

Ok, I hope this is helpful! It helps to have a vague guideline/set of rules in mind, and this is what I generally thing of. When you’re drawing the skull in profile, you can basically draw it in a box and then divide it into four quadrants. The ear is located right in the middle; you can find other things from there. The eye generally lines up with the top of the ear, the nose usually comes from the middle of the eyes/pupil and goes down to about halfway through the quadrant it’s in. The edge of the jaw lines up with the ear. Obviously that’s a super rough guideline, but it can really help you out!

The biggest thing I think people have problems with is making sure you draw enough skull onto the back of the head. That’s why drawing a square helps - if you’re too far from the edge of the square, you don’t have enough skull for a brain, haha.

Once you have that in mind, you can build upon it! Not everyone will fall right into this pattern; some people might have really big ears or ears that are higher/lower, some people have big foreheads, some people have big noses. If you’re really stuck, Google some profiles and try and draw them with these guidelines; it’ll help you figure out what goes where!

*A* Hope that helps a bit!

One of the biggest challenges a beginning painter will face is learning to paint flesh tones. The skin is highly complex, made up of varying colors and textures; if you get one thing wrong, you could end up with some pretty scary results.

Here’s a few simple tips to help you conquer this problem.
