I Made A Tutorial! I Hope It Is Helpful. Some Of The Styles Of Eyes Are From Studio Ghibli,Sailor Moon,

Tusks!

no trouble at all! Here are some visual notes on how i approach orc teeth. 

1: get familiar with the structure. 

The better you can visualise the structure of teeth and where the tusks “plug in”, the easier step 2 will be. 

2: simplify. 

You only need to draw what will be visible. Don’t worry about drawing the anatomy right every time. If you get familiar with the structure underneath, it will be easier to spot when something’s off in your sketch. 

Works for upper tusks and lower! Visualise –> Simplify

A Tutorial Masterpost

I said that I’d show some tutorials I have saved up to someone, but decided that I’d just go ahead and post most of what I have stored away and create a sort of masterpost out of it. (I figure it’ll help me just as much since, as of now, they’re all pretty scattered between my Tumblr and bookmarks)

A lot of these are hosted on my personal Tumblr, but I don’t change my url so it’s pretty safe to bookmark them there (and not have to worry about the url changing) if you don’t wish to reblog them yourself for whatever reason.

teach me?? how to draw?? the action of kissing????

Step 1. yearn

Can you give any tips on how to draw big bulky people like Hazel/Muriel/Gretchen?

I hope this can be helpful to you!

I don’t really think about how I draw characters with different body types at this point because I’ve practiced it so much but these are some rough notes on what I do.

The core of it is to just draw using thicker shapes. Don’t worry too much about exaggeration as it’ll help get you out of the mould of drawing smaller characters by default. The neck, the arms, the torso, the legs, just draw them thicker. 

Study references of fat or muscular to see how the definition changes but in principle, it isn’t that much different to drawing any body type.  

I draw Hazel and Gretchen to be quite bulky but because they’re teenagers when I draw them, they’re still quite soft and lack extreme definition or sharp lines, unlike when I draw Muriel who’s meant to be extreme and musclebound. Changing how soft you draw the character or how much detail you draw changes whether they look bulky from fat or muscle.

i am SO sorry for the super long response, but i thought this might make a nice little tutorial opportunity, since soft body physics can be… frustrating, to say the least. i’ve noticed that it tends to respond better to spherical meshes than most others, so getting it to work with something with a lot of hard edges and flat planes can be a little tricky (at least in my experience).

so! to get started, here’s my basic setup

the only thing i’ve done so far is place my object in the scene, along with a plane to act as the ground and a camera to record everything.

next you want to select your object, and in the properties menu on the right, select the physics tab (should be the very last one, the icon looks like a bouncing ball)

and for your object, you want to apply a collision and a soft body modifier (some people use rigid body instead of collision, so if you have issues with one there’s a chance the other might work out better. as for me, i usually stick to collision)

then select your plane and apply the collision modifier only.

now when you hit the play button at the bottom of the screen, this happens

it’ll just kinda float in place.

so to fix that, you select the object, go back into the physics menu, and look at its soft body settings

now uncheck the box that says “Soft Body Goal” (this’ll let gravity do its thing)

now when you press play after that

poor dude just kinda dies.

so there are a couple things i like to do to help it not… do… whatever that is.

go back into your object’s soft body menu and click on the tab that says “Soft Body Edges”

now underneath where it says “Collision:” you want to make sure that you have either “Edge” or “Face” (or both, why not live a little) applied to the object (this can help prevent clipping!)

we’re trying to make it wiggle n’ jiggle while still maintaining its shape, so what usually works for me is to crank up the “Bending” spring as high as it’ll go (which is 10) and enabling “Stiff Quads”

and we’re left with this!

and that’s how i do it! there are probably more efficient ways to get this effect, but for me

doctors hate him. one simple trick for more lifelike expressions

I’m not really good at explaining or teaching things… so… Here you go. This is more like an example of how I draw noses, rather than how you need to draw them. I mean, it’s pretty basic, but maybe some artists have other ways to do it }: ? I hope it at least helps a little bit! (nothing fancy, but… yeah). sorry it took me so long to produce this half-assed thing }X D

so here’s my blender texturing guide! so many tutorial posts lately…
