Our feature artist/tutorial for today is this beautiful animation on EYE ANGLES, by the talented @simodasketch! Note in particular how the IRIS is shown here as a CONCAVE BOWL with the PUPIL set at the centre, and the CORNEA is a transparent dome over both. #anime #manga #drawing

Apparently the subject of the day on the art side of the internet is how to draw heads at difficult angles, so I’m gonna put it out there that there is absolutely nothing wrong with grabbing a tool like @handyarttool.bsky.social to get super specific references of difficult angles to draw

Figure drawing notes continued. Stick figures, the "line of action," and constructing imaginary figures with body masses. (2/3)

Figure drawing notes, page 3. Introducing the outline-centric approach I tend to use for quick sketching from life, and some of the things I'm thinking about in terms of capturing shapes. (3/3)

キャラデザするときにこういったおおまかなシルエット・ボリュームや形状の印象効果を主軸にしたものを描くと、設定などに引きずられずに持たせたい印象・役割をきちんとつけることができます。デフォルメが強くなればバルほどデザインのこういう描き方の意味が分かりやすい。 #art #lesson #illustration

I know it's past spooky season. But this example by CGCookie on material sphere painting is a great example of how to improve at rendering for #handpainted #gameart texture painting.
