How do people get good at shading skin.......I wanna .......know......please tell me your secrets uwu
Okay I JUST realized I never posted these on here—- BUT BASICALLY, about a year and a half ago I started doing these experimental black hairstyle posts that were threads long on Twitter, to give artists a source of inspo for their black ocs whose hair they wanted to try something new with! There’s more to black hair than just the selected styles portrayed in media, and I thought it would be fun to show people how much texture, shape, fades, length, and style can be combined when drawing black hair—-cause it’s a kind of manipulation our hair can do irl! The OG posts were lost with the hacking of my original Twitter account (@/bagels_donuts) but I’ve since reuploaded the whole thread to my new Twitter (@/ItsDonutsFR)! I hope artists on tumblr find these useful, sorry it took me so long to post them here😭🙏🏾 I’ll upload them all in parts!
Part 1: Long masc hairstyles + playing with fades
handmade drawing references :)
I took these pictures mainly to analyze my hand structure. Feel free to use them for your art, if you'd like to!
PLEASEE PLEASE GIVE ME TIPSS WTHHHHHHHHH I NEED TO BE BETTER AT BODY PRACTICE

i know we joke about cis artists having the weirdest sense of anatomy, but also even when the anatomy is fine, no one seems to want to draw women doing normal things
Hey! I just wanted to let you know that your art and incredible designs have been a huge inspiration to me, and lead to me writing several robot ocs and an entire story and universe for them. I want to ask, do you have any tips or tricks to drawing robot characters like yours? because im having a ton of trouble with it at the moment 😅
Ah, thank you so much! That means a lot~ and of course, atm I do have on-hand a little thing I made a while back explaining it a bit~
Y'ALL PLEASE GIVE ME SOME TIPS TO IMPROVE MY ART, I'M TIRED OF HAVING THE SKILLS OF A 10YO (this is an urgent call for help, I'm about to have an existential crisis about my artstyle because it hasn't improved at all in the past 2 years)
If any of y'all say ''practice makes it perfect'' or ''art takes time'', I've been drawing for as long as I can remember so if that's not enough for you then fuck yourself 😍
Contemplate this collage of a bunch drawings I did since I have this phone so you can analyze and comprehend my artstyle and understand what I mean I guess
Can someone help me decide which color palette works better?😩 I been trying to do more interesting / complex illustrations but I don´t know what to do
I have no idea wtf to draw so now I have 2 different layers of the doodles
Im trying to draw but genuinely don’t know where to begin?? Like, I know the base sketch is important butt I wanna get to the eyes already so that’s what I did, then ears, then lips, but wtf about the half of the face I have yet to draw?? Like, I don’t wanna draw that half, idk why, I just don’t want to-
[Also, I think I might’ve fucked up something, like, the eyes looks weird, the lips look to small, the ears look nice but at the same time big asf?? Like, help?? Wtf do I do with this shit, legit any help would be nice… mostly bc my friends are offline rn & i dont wanna really disturb them ngl]
