I Have No Idea How Many People Know This But Its A Life Saver

Static Texture Tutorial (Blender 2.7)

So it’s been a hot minute since i’ve posted any tutorials on here, and one of my gifs featuring a static texture recently got a nice amount of attention on twitter, so i thought i’d post a tutorial on how to make an effect like this 

in blender (blender 2.7 to be exact, i haven’t updated yet because i’m an old senior citizen set in their ways). This one’s super simple, it literally takes about 5 seconds, so let’s get started.

Face tutorial for Anon!

I wasn’t sure whether you meant heads or facial expressions, so here’s a very basic head tutorial! Of course not all faces are the same so proportions and the size of ears/eyes/noses etc. can vary! Feel free to explore and play with them to create unique and interesting characters! I hope this is somewhat helpful, and let me know if you’d like a tutorial on expressions as well!

Wake up while we still have a chance.

Hi mani ! I started to draw recently and not very sure of my talent I want to improve ,got any tips for me ? Have a lovely day ❤💕

Hello~ and thank you, wish you a wonderful day, dear 🌟

I wanna preface this by saying I’m self-taught, so I probably lack so much of the basics, heh. Everything I say here is based on my personal experience!

Love that you’re eager 💪🔥

It’s a fairly wide range, art is, I don’t know what you want to accomplish in it or what to say to guide you in specific terms, but since you came to me I’ll assume that drawing characters is in your list of interest at least, and I’ll gladly give you general pointers to how to go about it— like in your thought process indulging in drawing.

 The first and the most important thing about drawing for me is to enjoy it. If you don’t, it’s frustration, and that probably will not encourage you to get better or have you tolerate the tedious parts of it, heh. Enjoy what you do right now, and never worry because the next one will be always better just simply because of practice, e.x. you’d be training your hands to do certain strokes easier and faster and overall shape your ability. I like to show you my first character, the first masterpiece I considered and still it’s counts as one— I enjoyed the fudge of it, I remember how I was proudly making his eyes mixture of lilac and blue.

 Don’t be intimidated to do what you really want no matter how hard it looks, if you like it enough you’ll be always on the search for a way to execute. Again, by continuance practice, you automatically train yourself and get better at it, rather than just setting it on a stool and considering it above your abilities. It’s as simple as if you don’t start doing it, you won’t get anywhere with it.

 Use tons of reference of things you like, don’t be afraid to, you need a base to start. And please be wary of credit rights and so on.

 You can draw anywhere, take as long as you like. You don’t have to set a limitation of time and place to do it, I know I have always done so and it never helped me to do much, but if you function in reverse, set yourself a time and prepare the place to do so, set the mood 🌟

 Remember that you don’t need to know how to draw everything to make art. That being said; the more you know the better you can deliver the image and form it the way you wanted. So it’s all about choosing what you want to make, really.

 Don’t be discouraged by other people’s views of your piece if you did not expect it, if anything they can be a fresher set of eyes that may spot something you have never noticed (Such as me and not noticing drawing Sev in heels, heh). And remember there’s a massive difference between constructive criticism and rudeness when you find yourself confronted with a situation using the term criticism to justify rudeness. Either way, it lies with you to give it real weight, try to always take from them what inspires you to be better💛

Your art process is yours, not the others’. What works for some might not work for others, and there are always other ways to do it and much to explore and find out. You can have a comfort zone and you can step outside it whenever it suits you.

Now to the actual art advice, I can split them into three broad sections: A good structure, need to learn and observe body’s and shape’s anatomy. Understand basic color theories and how to choose what harmonise with each other. And lastly, inspiration! And you can find all your needs in the endless art tutorials online.

Here are random simple artistic tips about characters that I do:

• Try to distinguish your character with basic shapes for their facial features. Example; Juicy has an oval face, square nose, narrow eyes. Severus has a sort of a triangle face and a triangle nose as well. Albus has a square face and a broken arrow nose, and so one. The same goes for the rest of the body parts.

• Color, hot with cold background, cold with hot background! I made an old post about it here. It gives an easy satisfying look to your piece if you try and include the character with the background.

• Just go wild cuz honestly 57% of the time I don’t know what I’m doing, hehehe

I’m sorry if that’s not the thorough answer you looking for and I hope this helps you in any way.

Symbols and Signs: Flowers

Sometimes by using flowers we can convey messages about a character and their motives. Meanings behind plants can differ by country or region and some can be completely different. Using flower symbols is a subtle and poetic way to say things. Like instead of saying Trump is wanker, you can describe him as holding Aconite, Begonias, tansy and hollyhock.
