i've been receiving a lot of asks recently, and i've really wanted to do something a bit more to boost them than just reblogging/answering, so i'm putting together a list of fundraisers & blogs that have contacted me recently, and if you donate 15$ (or the equivalent of 15 USD) or more to one or more of these fundraisers & send one of us proof, myself or @boxheadpaint will draw some sort of critter for you!

the 15$ bar is due to the fact that we both have limited drawing abilities (currently i'm trying to limit all art due to wrist problems) but i HIGHLY ENCOURAGE you to donate whatever you can, even just 1 dollar!!

list, as of sep 10:

the problem with "I need to criticise myself to prepare for other people criticising me" is that it fails to account for the possibilities that a) nobody will criticise you, or b) the people who do criticise you are not people you value the opinions of anyway. I know it feels like a good defence mechanism, but at the end of the day there is a high chance that you're just being mean to yourself for no reason. consider this

Really funny how insecure i get about having interests that are too normie. like oh fuck what if people think i'm not weird enough. oh god if i draw too many conventionally attractive people i'll be killed with hammers. on one hand this is bad because i should do whatever i want without shame on the other hand maybe if more people felt like this the world would have more cool stuff in it. much to consider

this is why i didn't post about hnk until a while after the fixation started btw cause i was like oh god no one can know i like something with character design like this. Despite the fact that hnk is strange and interesting and unique in many other ways. (and sucks garbage in other ways also) Anyway as you can see i've gotten over that

#but don't worry there will be a brief reprieve from gems. i will post fat dragons i promise#tick biz

Imma need y'all raw doggers to tell me what your prescriptions are. My right eye is significantly worse than my left so it's disorienting to have one eye be half assed and the other eye assless. Do y'all have even, half assed eyes? Or quarter ass eyes? Do your eyes share ass amounts?!

#my prescription is like -8 in one eye -7.5 in the other. Can't see shit but i would never wear glasses in the shower#i simply know where things are i do it by touch and color

What do you all study when you're doing art studies??

Heeeeeyyy, I love me a good fucking STUDY

for environments:

  • shot deck is a massive database of film shots searchable by grading, tod, shot type, characters and content! Studying from films really helps improve your values and composition as the shots are usually very carefully constructed! It helps you find ways to maintain realism while still packing mood and narrative into your work!
  • master paintings! I recommend the orientalists like Jean Leon Gerome in particular their environments had great compositions and throw around a ton of colour and light! I like the modern artists Craig Mullins and Richard Schmid also, as there is so much impressionist lost detail and simplicity yet the environments feel so real.
  • The 1960s era disney background artists like eyvind earle are a masterclass in stylisation and simplification and make a wonderful choice for studies. (That being said modern disney visdev artists like Nathan Fowkes are just as fantastic to study for the same reason)
  • architectural photography can be a great resource too- I love to look for work by urbEX people!
  • thumbnailing and comp studies- trying to break down a photo into as few values as possible and still have it be readable- this really helps train your brain in the relationship between light exposure and local value.
  • Im begging you if doing it in colour is too hard to start with just do it in black and white!!!!! Greyscale painting is an essential step in learning to paint and understand lighting scenarios!! Colour is hard!!!
  • there is no substitute for going outside and doing some plein air painting- really looking first hand at how the light effects different materials and objects, how it bounces around, what edges your eye naturally loses in certain lighting scenarios. Just go outside and draw and try to notice stuff.

for characters:

  • figure studies!!!! from life if you can but if you cant there are a ton of great resources out there- personally I love croquis cafe and posespace, but if you can afford it (and are interested in intense anatomy study) then scott eaton has a site called bodies in motion which is fantaaaastic. I think by now everyone knows nyx and senshistock, I also use a lot of grafit studio photorefs to study more complicated poses!!
  • Master studies (again). I particularly like to study the work of John Singer Sargent, Joaquin Sorolla, Edwin Austin Abbey, Alphonse Mucha (his le pater compositions are out of this world), any of the New Rochelle artists (e.g rockwell, tom lovell, those 1950s illustrators REALLY knew their shit).
  • I literally have a resin skull on my desk that I've used to do quick studies with different lighting, just 10 mins a day back when I was doing it and it levelled up my skill a lot!.
  • Material studies are essential to leveling up your character painting!!! Look at fur, look at metal, look at the way something embroidered reflects light vs tooled leather!!
  • gesture studies! Look at a dynamic pose and see how you can exaggerate the motion in away that captures the sense of movement. This is tricky to start with but its really worthwhile especially when you combine it with other exercises. Mixamo is a cool library to look into for this kind of thing as you can pause and rotate the models in the middle of their actions!
  • breakdown the work of artists you admire- it's ok to study other living artists (and try to reverse engineer how they are making their decisions) it's a very effective learning tool! Really figure out what it is about that persons workflow you like, and how you might incorporate that element into your own. Obviously, dont post studies of living artists work!

The most important thing is that when you do a study you go into it knowing what you want to learn. Dont try to do everything at once! It's ok to focus on the muscle structure and not give a damn about the gesture. It's ok to focus on the texture of the fur and completely ignore the characters face.

The best way to keep doing studies is to find refs you like- things you are interested in and that capture your imagination! Follow your curiosity and remember that just a tiny little bit a day makes a huge difference.

Gunna take a sec to recommend the tutorials of Devin Korwin. He talks about how to study and how to breakdown art fundamentals in a way that is at once both very advanced but also digestible. I highly recommend his pdfs!
