I'm Getting Into Handplates Again, So I Want To Repost Some Of My Old Art Here In Tumblr Too! I'm Very

:00

Someone has probably already asked you this but do you have any tips on studying/understanding perspective? I keep trying to find resources to learn but none of them really stick or are actually useful

so I'm hoping that your issue isn't just figuring out the difference between 1-point, 2-point, and 3-point perspective and how it works, because there are tons and tons of resources available for that, and I'm guessing what people tend to get tripped up on is what you're supposed to be doing with your grid.

I'm definitely far from being an expert on understanding perspective, but I'll share some of the things that helped ME finally Get It.

Things like eye level and different camera angles can be a GREAT tool to use when doing a comic or storyboard between multiple characters of different heights!! I actually drew an example of this exact thing for a friend about a month ago (I used adventure time characters bc they're easy to draw and have a good height variety):

You can use camera angles like this to add variety to your shots, and even use it to help convey something emotional (using a down-shot on a character to show that they FEEL small, use an up-shot on a character to make them look more intimidating, etc etc)

hope this helps!

Hermit-A-Day May 11! Cubfan135 :)

Honestly, I don’t know much about Cub, but it was fun to draw his vex wings, sculk patches, and glasses :). Infecting a whole server with skulk is iconic honestly. I love the way his hair turned out and that hand is just, *chefs kiss*.

making some kind of connection here

gem and impulse on the gamers outreach stream right now have me CRYING LAUGHING

Hello hello. I do art I swear.

I wanna draw silly Technoblade

Hermit-A-Day May number 3!! It’s Mr TangoTek!

I’ve never actually drawn Tango before but I have been meaning to do this was that final push I needed haha. His hair was a nightmare to get done - flames + pushed back style = I struggle - but I think I actually ended up with something I like in the end! I thought the red freckles might be fun too haha.

I always try to do this. Sometimes you need to vent some frustration with a piece, but it always needs to be counteracted by a little bit of love. Not everything you make is going to be perfect, but if you can see the little things you did well, notice them and compliment them, you can carry them on with you. Art you make later will be even better.

You can’t progress if you can’t see what you’re doing well and foster it.

yall have to stop insulting your own art in the caption and preemptively pointing out mistakes 90% of people probably won't notice. allow things to not be perfect. allow yourself some grace
