If this ask was of a purely technical nature, the answer is that I vary, depending on what kind of picture it is. I’m not very impressed by the eyes I usually make; they mostly seem to consist of five lines or so.
The thought process for them is more important to me. That way I can at least try to get a good variation and give each character their own snowflake look. Above is a very boiled down version of what goes on in my mind when I draw the eyes. I’m more sure about some characters than others…
Alex, Martin and Aaron belongs to xhakhal The rest are mine.
After this Tutorial I will be changing the weekly tutorial format to be a bit different. I’ll be doing a complete review of my own art and skills and building a weekly study guide.
I will be posting what my process is and giving you the same instructions. This will allow you to follow along as a take a deep look at my own art. Review my weaknesses and build up a series of artist and anatomy studies to bulk up my skill. In this way the tutorials will be more a series of studies and artistic introspection and less a “Tutorial on a thing”.
I feel for those who are artistically inclined. Following my process of personal improvement will give a unique perspective on improving as an artist!
Poor neglected hips, such an awesome part of the body but so difficult to do *right*. It really just takes a few plotted landmarks and they’ll draw themselves, promise.
To ALL those artists out there who take commissions and sell their art of any type this is for you! If anyone ever tries to argue with your prices show them this! Take pride in your work! Never settle for anything less then what you believe to be a fair price for the efforts and passion you pour into your work.
YOU ARE WORTH IT!
Seconding this SO hard right now.
I’ve known of so many artists who were amazing but refused to charge the proper amount for their hard work. It’s a crime.
All commissioners must remember this when you commission someone!!
