I have very analytical approach to drawing and this is what helps me with drawing head correctly. There are so many things to think about when it comes to head. This approach really helps me to focus on my mistakes and fix them.
Hi there!! First off thanks so much for spending all that time!!
To be honest I’m still trying to get comfortable with anatomy….however I do have a lot of fun making bendy torsos (thanks to Junkrat’s horrible posture) and I think I’ve stylized them enough to make a tutorial on them.
I almost always start my drawings with a C-curve/S-curve to mark the spine, this way I can exaggerate the torso as much as I like. Notice though that in the GIF the C-Curve isn’t actually where the spine is, it’s more of a way to feel the flow of the drawing.
So anyway yeah!!! I hope this helped in some way?? Sorry if it’s not extensive, I’m still learning a lot!! And thanks for the ask, I appreciate the love ❤
A tip for blending when painting digitally: use a transition color! I quickly made this when my brother asked for art advice while I was working on a painting for my best friend. (I was watching a lot of makeup videos to pick out her gifts).
Noses can be as hard to draw as hands, I can see why one would struggle with them. So here’s a tutorial that will hopefully teach you a thing or two!
When I draw a nose from the front (which is 99% of the time) I like to start with the nostrils, because they are the most important and most visible part of the nose. Then I just make an outline of the shape by drawing the columella (bottom part of the nose between the nostrils), and the ala (side parts). I put some base color at the bottom of the nose and some lighter color at the bridge of the nose. Then I clean everything up and add some highlights at the tip of the nose and the sides of the ala, like shown.
For drawing a nose sideways you should think of the nose as 2 bubbles and a tube, it helps a lot. Then draw the nostrils and erase the lines of the circles that are not needed. In this drawing I assumed the light comes from above, so a shadow would form under the nose.
Here are some examples of the best noses that I’ve drawn:
Tip: when drawing a face it’s important to remember that the skin on the nose is a bit more pink/red than the rest of the skin!
Also, if you’re struggling a lot draw with a reference! Look up some pictures of noses and try to replicate the photo, that’s how I learned to draw noses.
