    criminallyincompetent:

    This is my 3000th post, and rather than have it go by without a passing glance, I will instead use it to help YOU, MY LOVELY FOLLOWERS, by giving you references for and tutorials on how to draw a whole lotta dicks.

    letmefixthatyaoiforyou: Hey I don’t think I can bear to talk about the anatomy here, it’s all so subtle I can’t pick out one thing to focus on. Take it as practice and use all your knowledge to analyze it yourself. I can, however, share a useful photoshop technique for an easy 2 point perspective grid! I’m using CS4 but I’m pretty sure this should work the same way in most versions First make sure Rulers are on, under View>Rulers. Your first step is to drag a line from the TOP ruler to where your horizon line is. I’m just gonna make an educated guess. Next, on a new layer, take the line tool and draw a bunch of lines horizontally while HOLDING DOWN SHIFT. I generally make them pretty close together for reasons. It doesn’t matter if they’re an equal distance apart or not, it only matters that they are all perfectly straight and on the same layer (holding down shift the whole time solves both these problems) (Yes make sure the lines are raster and not vector or this step would be more annoying and complicated) Ok. Next duplicate that layer with the lines and change their color via Image>Adjustments>Hue/Saturation or whatever you want to make them a clearly different color. Yay now you have 2 sets of lines. hide one of them, we’ll deal with it later. Now you gotta get the move tool (keyboard shortcut V) and make sure “show transform tools” is checked. If it is you’ll see a center crosshair in the middle of your lines (if you do it on this picture it ends up right on sasuke’s junk). hold shift again and drag your lines until the crosshair snaps onto your horizon line, and then drop it. This is the MOST IMPORTANT STEP. DOn’t MISS THIS STEP Ok, next go to Edit>Transform>Perspective. holding down shift again (IMPORTANT), drag and of the corners vertically and observe the effect. What you’re doing is making it look like those lines are converging to a vanishing point like you’d draw if you were doing this out on paper with a ruler, except you don’t have to draw it! :O You can make the vanishing point appear very close to the picture plane, making a very dramatic perspective, or make it appear very far away by not changing it very much: Anyway, when you’re satisfied, hide that layer and do the same with the other set of lines, except make the vanishing point on the other side. There’s no way to make the grid match this picture because it’s wrong, but here’s what I have: You can then use this grid to fix the picture. Or just start over entirely. P.S. if it were me and I was gonna draw a scene with a big object like a bed that was gonna be cropped, I’d draw it all out un-cropped first because otherwise you’re more likely to mess up bed-to-person size relationship. that happened to me here, it looks too short because I wasn’t paying attention and I hit the edges of the canvas pps use a wide canvas to draw wide things ppps is it a canon detail that the uchiha crest thing is on the wall above sasuke’s childhood bed? that seems like tasteless decorating to me Reblogging for reference purposes. SORRY ABOUT THE REALLY CREEPY GROSS PORN Y’ALL.

    soulofniflheim: Fenrir is one of Loki’s children. He’s a great wolf, that started out as a small pup like every other wolf, but something was a bit different though. He had a gigantic appetite and it began to eat… A lot. With everything he ate, he became bigger and bigger. In the end, he got so big, that the gods decided that he should not live amongst the gods in Asgard. Tyr took the honor of trying to talk the wolf into sense about eating all the food of Asgard. The wolf ignored Tyr and continued eating. They then decided to go capture the wolf, and Tyr got that job too. Tyr took a thick rope and tried to capture Fenrir. They made a deal, if Fenrir escaped, he could roam free but if he couldn’t he had to move to another realm. Fenrir of course broke free of the rope like it were a tiny silk thread. Afterwards, the gods decided to try with a thick chain. They made the same deal, but Fenrir broke free once again. Then, the gods decided that they had to ask the dwarves for help, so the dwarves made an enchanted rope that was unbreakable. The wolf just laughed at the size of it, and Tyr said it would be their last try. The wolf, Tyr and the other gods went to Niflheim. The wolf now said that he would only agree on the deal if Tyr put his hand into Fenrir’s mouth. Fenrir of course couldn’t break free and bit as hard as he could. Tyr has only one hand, and this is why. But, when Ragnarok comes, Fenrir will break free, and try to kill every single god he can.

    Golgothassterror: art post

    starborn-vagabond:

    tutorialsforartists:

    I just went back through over 900 liked posts and dug out all the art tutorials so i can keep track of them. I guess this might be helpful to some of you guys, so here you go.

    Here we go then!

    Freeware

    Alchemy - this is a really fun program. You play around making abstract shapes until you start to see something in them, kind of like a Rorschach test. Then you use the shapes as a base to draw it from.
    MyPaint - a pretty decent painting program that also has the benefit of working on Unix systems.
    openCanvas 1.1 - I haven’t used openCanvas in years but it was a nice program with a pretty unique feel to it.
    ArtRage - Only used this a couple of times donkey’s years ago just before I got oC, but I’ve heard good things about it.
    The GIMP - In a similar vein to Photoshop, but free. I couldn’t get on with it when I tried it out a few years ago, but it’s pretty popular and is available on Unix systems and Macs.

    Sketchbook copic: a bit different program

    Not-free-ware

    Photoshop - Standard painting fare. Probably the most flexible program (particularly the latest versions) but not designed to act in a “natural” way. If you’ve used it for painting versus something like Painter you know what I mean. Who the fuck pays for it though? Google “Photoshop tumblr masterpost” and take your pick.
    Paint Tool Sai - Far more affordable and definitely worth paying for if you can. The brushes are very decent (especially when they’ve been tweaked a little), the gui is simple and intuitive, and I dare you to find a program with which making smooth lineart is easier.
    Corel Painter - My program of choice for most things. More tools than you could ever possibly use and pretty cheap on a student license, providing that you can prove you’re a student! It’s got a few bugs but if you want realism or a more natural feel than PS or SAI this is the program for you.

  10. Notes: 9 / 6 days ago 

    So I finally saw the Avengers movie.

    What a hot mess. It gave me nostalgia flashbacks to the cheesy, campy comic book films of the 90’s (unfortunately entirely due to the ‘heroes’). The characters were as well-rounded as a piece of cardboard, and my wife who has never really been into Marvel comics was pretty much lost entirely. It’s a fun waste of time, but not otherwise engaging.

    However, like apparently every other nerd on tumblr, I like Loki (and Thor). I’m biased in that I’m extremely interested in Norse mythology and Loki has been my favorite since I was a kid. Trickster archetypes are the best. He’s much more of a destructive, raging asshole in the film than he (usually) was in mythology, though. I can deal, the verbal beatdowns he delivered were worth it, even if his Hannibal Lecture kinda backfired.

    And he is handsome in a ghoulish sort of way. I’m tripped up by the black hair though, I always picture Loki as a ginger. The two paintings of Loki included are by Arthur Rackham.

    The most amazing toys I’ve ever seen. I need to get some of these :)

    The concept of this is just so fantastic. It is a tarantula, and it is a pirate. I also just can’t get over that he comes with a small parrot companion. Not only is a parrot a wonderful familiar for a spider pirate to have, but it also provides something to scale his size to. GIANT SPIDER PIRATES. Spirates. See attached, spirate picture that I drew. 

    I need these spirates in my life.

    Oh god that drawing, I love it.

  13. Notes: 9499 / 1 week ago  from danipat

    danipat:

    Learning anatomy drawing is important. Period. Whatever you plan to draw and however you plan to draw it you need to have an idea of what it actually looks like, practice in realism, before you plan to move on to creative interpretation.

    Here are examples of all different kinds of athletic body types to illustrate the importance of knowing what sort of “built” look you will need to go for when drawing and designing a character. Not all fit is the same fit and it is so hard to find adequate variety when looking for references. These were linked by a talented comic artist Nina Matsumoto. Here site can be found here http://ninamatsumoto.wordpress.com/

    A good sampling of her art can be found here http://spacecoyote.deviantart.com/

    Sticking this here for my own reference.
