those kind of thing realy help me
but the thing that helps me more than anything is :

1. to practice *almost* every day of my life by sketching idiot moment between my OC's 
2. Just to talk with artist, every time im meeting an other artist i loveeeee to talk about how does he likes to draw, how did he do some kind of thing, etc… im just 10 minutes i can learn even more than i can in 1000000 tutorial on the internet, just by lookig at him drawing! 

i love to draw, it’s my passion, it was always my passion! My way to express my self, my way to give life to just some line! im REALY REALY not the best i know that!! i dont wish to be popular or some shit like that! i just wish to be able to give enought life to my little OC’s, and to continue earing peoples being happy when they commissions me! ♥ 
because at first we all want to be a “popular artist” or a “popuFur” or a shit like that! i wanted… and then, now i just dont give a fuck! because being popular on the internet doesnt meen your “good”. 
my own fav artist, are not the most popular… but GOD DAMN! every time im looking at there arts i feel this little heat in my stomache, kinda like a “art crush”

how to draw arms ? ? 

holy fuck

holy fuck is right… but… does it work with legs???

yes !!

but how much extend

^^^^^^^^^^

I NEARLY CHOKED

ENJFDFNFATFVFDF

finally. i can be accurate

This is too fucking great to not reblog

I give it MASCLES

BIG MACHO

LMAOOOOOO

Okay but for anyone who legit wants to know how to calculate it correctly:

The elbow joint on average rests a couple inches higher than the navel, so if you measure how long the distance is from the middle of the shoulder to that point then you have the length of the upper and fore arms!

So if anyone’s wondering about legs too, the simplest rule of thumb is that the length from the top of the leg to the knee is equal to the distance between the top of the leg and the bottom of the pectorals:

And I wanna stress that when i say “top of the leg” i’m not talking about the crotch (please don’t flag me tumblr it’s an anatomical term) i’m talking about the point where the femur connects to the pelvis, which is higher up on the hips:

It’s easier to see what I’m talking about in this photo of a man squatting: 

So yeah if you use that measurement when using this technique you should get fairly realistically proportioned legs:

But remember! messing with proportions is an important and fun part of character design! Know the rules first so you can then break them however you please!

HOW THE HELL DID I FIND THIS POST OMG

A wonderful addition to the list!

  • Unsplash. Another whopping huge free images site like pixabay: free for commercial and noncommercial use and remixing; just don’t sell the photos unmodified or add them to other photo-sharing sites.
  • Morguefile.Big old free photo archive from the dawn of the web. “We are a community-based free photo site, and all photos found in the Morguefile archive are free for you to download and re-use in your work, be it commercial or not. The photos have been contributed by a wide range of creatives from around the world, ranging from amateur photo hobbyists to professionals.”

(This also goes for images of animals archived at the USFWS Digital Library, i.e the US Fish and Wildlife Service, or rocks and landscapes on USGSwebsites.

Okay updating and consolidating lots of info here; as well as adding links for ease of access. Adding a brief description for some too; as is the case that not all of them have descriptions above.
(Warning that some of these links contain nude refs, I will try to mark where possible which ones have more prominent ones.)

Posing Sites and Apps:

  • Adorkastock. Stock photos for pose refs. DeviantArt gallery started in 2007.
  • FreePhotoMuscle.com. (translated page link click here) Japanese stock photo pose site that includes buff people, but in funny poses and costumes.
  • CroquoisCafe. (NSFW, nude model poses warning) A stock photo pose site. You should be aware this org has been linked as pro-Trump. I leave it to y’all to decide if you want to use the resources or not. I highly encourage not financially supporting them and trying to support the individual models if you can.
  • Line of Action. Fantastic site that includes posing refs, community discussions from other artists, figure study, anatomy, etc. So much stuff in here.
  • PoseSpace. Extensive library of poses. Some free resources others are paid. I’ve not fully evaluated both, but you should be able to use this all mostly free and get great use out of it.
  • SketchDaily. This one is one of the better ones out there. You can time yourself, search by pose, clothing options, body type, perspective, etc. All real models.
  • JustSketch.me. A pose app for any device. Has apps for most devices and a webapp. Customize and pose models/props/scenes.
  • Quickposes. Pose site that gives you timed challenges to become more proficient at poses.
  • POSEMANIACS. Ref site with anatomical poses. All the ref pics are of 3D models with only the bones and muscles. Can be helpful for seeing how muscles behave in certain poses. limited to two body types tho.
  • MagicPoser. A wonderful app that’s great on mobile. Lets you choose size of models, number of them, style, etc. Significant features are use of snap point with the physics engine, adjustable lighting, multiple perspective, 360 angle, articulated hand posing.
  • Clip Studio Paint Modeler. Free 3d tool that works with Clip Studio Paint. You can import your own data or other models you find online. Not quite an alternative to Blender, but the integration with CSP is very nice.
  • Egg a Zyoutatsu Atarichan Drawer. (requires enabling flash player or downloading and using standalone flashplayer) Drawing tool for pose practice. The developer is working on an html5 version.
  • DesignDoll. One of the best pose tool apps out there. You can customize so many things. They also have an extensive collection of ready made poses here. You can use the free or pay once for life and have the poses integrated into the client as well as the ability to export your obj to other programs like blender or smt.

Stock Photo Sites:

  • Unsplash. Giant free stock image site.
  • freeimages.com. Another stock photo site, less features than some others.

  • StockSnap.io. Stock photos with a creative commons CC0 license, which essentially means you can use the photos however you want and don’t have to attribute to them. (though its nice if you do attribute)

  • Burst.Shopify. Tons of royalty free high quality images. Similar licensing to StockSnap.

  • pixabay. I feel like most people know about this one, but it features entirely free CC0 licensed Photos, Videos, and Music. No attribution required, but still nice to support a giant site with all this content.

  • Viintage. Big collection of public domain vintage photos.

  • Gratisography. For commercial or personal use. They specialize in odd, quirky, wild stock photos.

  • pexels. Great free stock photos and videos. Only a few stipulations of what they don’t allow, but their license info can be found here.

  • Faestock. An artist and model with a huge amount of fantasy and fae and other types of photos available. Their terms for use are here.

  • MorgueFile. Old stock photo archive that’s been around a long time.

Museum and Institution Open Access sites:

wow its been a while since ive seen this post, im so glad more useful info has been added!

zoejayw:

Hello everyone! after a couple of months of work on this beast of a thing, the first draft of my promised writeup on understanding composition is finally ready! This badboy is almost 15,000 words, and over 150 pages long. In these images, you can see a couple of examples of the kind of subject matter I’ll be covering, but it’s very comprehensive. 

This is currently available on my Patreon starting at just $2!

I think what I offer is a pretty unique take on composition, and it’s geared to be understood without a lot of consideration for the more finnicky technical elements of drawing, so if that’s part of art you have trouble with you might find some answers in my approach. Using my own art and examples from various disciplines and eras, I break down how to understand why a composition does - or doesn’t - work, all building to a toolset that lets you have control over your own compositions with precision and intent. 

A sincere thank you to anyone who takes the time to look at it, and at the end of the day, always remember one fundamental rule of art:

Karen Vega, the first Oaxacan model to grace the pages of Vogue Magazine.

[ID: The royal portraits of 5 different Fire Lords from Avatar: The Last Airbender The Art of the Animated Series. Text underneath read: “These paintings, which depict the succession of the last five Fire Lords, hung in the palace hall. Since the first two weren’t prominently featured, we never figured out names for them. The last three are Sozin, Azulon, and Ozai. Illustrations by Jae Woo Kim. Color by Hye Jung Kim and Jae Woo Kim. Middle of the page: The Fire Lord’s palace. Design by Elsa Garagarza.”]

I wanted to know what the different parts and layers of the Fire Lord’s Robes are, so here’s my best guess as to what makes it up. Note, I’m just a person with google who only knows English. I know very little about Asian cultures (or any culture really), so I definitely got some parts wrong. If you’re interested I highly suggest you check out some of the references I have at the end. 

image

[ID: A gif of a man getting dressed in the Fire Lord’s uniform. The man already has his hair in a top-knot and stays in the same standing position for the entire gif, with one palm facing the front and the other hand relaxed. He has a very small smiley face and is drawn in a messy line art style. 

The order of items put on is: zhongyi (a type of Chinese pants and shirt), inner robe, socks, boots, upper foot-guards, greaves (shin armor), forearm-guards, outer robe, bixi (cloth belt ornament that hangs down to the knees), belt, yunjian (cloth shoulder pieces), gorget (metal shoulder piece), and finally the headpiece]

More on my thought process for the different elements of the outfit and some of the culture behind them below.

Environment References for Art


I’ve created an Environment board on my website artideasgenerator.com ’s Pinterest full of reference pictures for thos who like me, have a hard time with drawing backgrounds ! There’s also plenty of refs pictures for character design. I’m hoping it will help other artists too. Go check it out !

J'ai crée un tableau Paysage sur le Pinterest de mon site artideasgenerator.com pour ceux qui, comme moi, ont des difficultés à dessiner des arrière-plans ! Il y a aussi plein de références pour la création de personnage sur le compte. J'espère que ça sera utile à d'autre artistes aussi. Allez-y !

I recently got the magical archives book and there is a lot of character design art in it for like all the characters and theres little notes in there so I just wanted to post it so if you want to use it for art reference or something its here haha.

Disclaimer: This book is in japanese. I do not speak japanese lmao. I tried my hardest to piece together things based off of what google translate said as well as context but if I translated something wrong feel free to correct me and i’ll update this haha.:

o boy i have been waiting for pomefiore i love them

Here’s the general Pomefiore dorm uniform:

Bro i love the pomefiore uniform, i’d kill to wear this tbh.

Vil Schoenheit 

Vil wears a long sleeve shirt and leggings under his PE uniform, and he also wears slip on shoes


laughing bc the note just says “there is no loss of clothes”

(sorry for the glare on the page rip) i love Vil’s dorm uniform, like aaaaaaaaaaa. His sleeves and just the robe in general are MUCH longer than the standard pomefiore uniform. The tiara is supposed to look like a vine which is v pretty. I also like how Vil has a grimoire instead of a staff i think that’s pretty cool.

yall WISH you were as pretty as Vil look at this man. gorgeous. literally my favorite character so im probably biased but LOOK AT HIM

Rook Hunt

this man wears his uniform gloves with his PE uniform? ok. also he puts his hair up.

once again “there is no loss of clothes” but idk i think he could lose the hat.

oh rook our camp king. apparently his hair is completely symmetrical which is probably why is so off putting why is he like this. i know i said 20 seconds ago he could lose the hat but he looks wrong without it put it back.

Epel Felmier

i dont know why they went out the way to say he wore ankle socks??? anyway he wears he PE uniform with short sleeves and pants.

Like ruggie a few posts back, his lab coat is oversized on him

country boy i love youuuuu. His hair is apparently sort of 80′s idol style which is kind of fun haha. i love this wee lad.

Alrighty scarabia time!!!! Here is the Scarabia dorm uniform modeled by Jamil lmao:

I really like the scarabia uniform tbh. The belt is twisted so that the design on the part that hangs down stays facing outwards 

Kalim Al-Asim 

Kalim has a headband for PE and wears the jacket around his waist with the t-shirt sleeves rolled up. also its interesting how he keeps his earrings in while previously it said that jade and floyd take theirs out. interesting lil detail ig

Kalim wears his lab coat open and his goggles around his neck

Kalim’s dorm outfit has quite a bit going on but its so cool lol. His belt actually like, goes over his shoulder which is an interesting detail.

baby. baby boy. the notes mention that his earrings are very dangly. It also mentioned how his face is a little similar to Ace which i can kind of see. he’s so cute i cry. 

Jamil Viper

Jamil’s got a hoodie type thing instead of the normal PE uniform jacket and shirt, but he still wears the normal pants.

Jamil wears his hoodie under his lab coat. love that for him honestly i bet its comfy.

Holy shit Jamil is so pretty lmao. The notes say he’s got small eyes, and even without make up his eyes are fairly dark and have an eyeliner sort of look, he also has three braids in his hair and throughout his hair he has a few little gold hair bead things and good god his hair is LONG. Also that one picture of him that looks real mischievous has the note “Jaffar’s face when he is being ill-mannered” and i just thought that was funny.

Anyways thats it for Scarabia! A bit shorter than the other dorms but to be fair theres only two of them lmao. I’ll probably post Pomefiore and possibly Ignihyde tomorrow (Ignihyde isn’t actually too short because ortho has like, hella pages lmao) 

also, Jamil is the last character in the book who has overblot design concepts so i may post his along with Riddle, Leona, and Azul’s in a separate post sometime in the future!

wheehoo heres the Octavinelle uniform:

image

Vvvvvvv snazzy!! The jacket goes a lil bit past the butt and they have a cummerbund and suspenders

Azul Ashengrotto

image

Azul wears his PE uniform as standard with long sleeves and pants

image

He also wears his labwear as standard, and unlike Trey he doesn’t keep his glasses with him because according to the book he keeps them in a glasses case.

image

Some differences with Azul’s dorm uniform is that he wears a coat which is more voluminous and spreads out like a cloak at the bottom, the bowtie is purple on one side and grey on the other, and the heel of the shoes are steel.

image

The notes mention that Azul has a more mature looking face than the other second year students, and also that long strand of hair he has is supposed to resemble and octopus tentacle! octo boy i love him. twst show us his merman form this is a threat <3

Jade Leech

image

Jade wears his PE uniform with long pants and short sleeves with a long sleeved t-shirt underneath, and he also takes out his earrings during PE

image

Jade wears his labwear as standard (also his earrings are in)

image

FISH MAN! WOO! the tweels both got a lot going on so alrighty some notes here, apparently, Jade doesn’t really show his teeth when he laughs but they’re pointyyyyy, he also has a very calm face and doesn’t usually show anger often. His left ear has earrings that are sturgeon scales (the book says it’s inspired by Ursula’s spell in the little mermaid where she says “Beluga sevruga” which are both species of sturgeon). His merman form is VERY LONG like, twice as long as a human according to the book he is LENGTHY, also the tweels fish forms are apparently bioluminescent! very cool. and they have webbed hands. freaky.

Floyd Leech

image

Floyd wears his PE uniform with long pants and the jacket tied around his waist and wears a long sleeve shirt under his t-shirt, also one of his pant legs is rolled up i just noticed lmao. His and Jade’s shoes are the same as well, and like Jade, Floyd also removes his earrings for PE.

image

Floyd wears his lab coat open but otherwise wears it as standard.

in love with floyd’s lil pouty face in the top left panel lmao. As far as things as his hair and eyes go, it’s pretty much a reflection of Jade’s design, his earring is also on his right ear while Jade’s is on the left. I might have translated this wrong but there’s a note up in the facial expressions panel that says some along the lines of “like a baby” and idk what that means but it makes sense somehow. silly goofy man i love him.

alrighty thats the Octavinelle section! sorry i posted a day later than i said i would i had to fist fight the tumblr post editor because it would not cooperate and i was going insane.

Scarabia is next! I’ll probably post that one here shortly because it’s fairly short because its like, two characters lmao.

Here is the general dorm uniform for savannaclaw students:

Like, obviously the pants would have a hole for their tails but the fact that its a ZIPPER is so hilarious to me and idk why

Anyway some of the notes on the uniform: The sleeves are a little wider than a normal t-shirt (although Leona and Jack’s uniforms are sleeveless), the shirt pretty much covers half way down the butt (except for Ruggie, because he’s short and his shirt ends up being a bit longer), and the boots are the same on both sides of the shoe.

Leona Kingscholar

Leona’s PE uniform is too cool for extra notes ig. I like his cute hair tie lmao

I’m pretty sure sandals aren’t allowed in labs leona. anyways, he just wears his lab coat open with his goggles around his neck

Some things that leona has on his uniform specifically is he has that, thing, yknow, with the fur and it looks like it was sewn together, idk what it is but its there. He also has leather chaps. king shit.

Some notes from this page: Leona has a scar over his left eye, and he has cat eyes pretty much with the vertical pupils that are round sometimes, he has rounded ears, and his hair reaches his shoulder blades. he is purrty.

Jack Howl

Jack wears his PE uniform short sleeved, there’s a hole for his tail, and he keeps his necklace on 

Brb crying about how his fluffy tail makes his coat poof out its so cute. also he wears his goggles right! he’s a good boy yall

The notes say he’s the most muscular character, but also not to make him too rugged looking because he’s like, 16. lmfao. also his wolf form makes me laugh every time idk why.

Ruggie Bucchi

Ruggie wears the sleeves and pants of his PE uniform short, as well as having a long sleeve shirt and leggings underneath

Ruggie wears an oversized lab coat (the arrow pointing to his arm is wear the shoulder line of the coat is lmao) with his goggles around his neck


Some notes from this page: He looks kinda young because he’s got big eyes, he’s got a mohawk type hairstyle like a hyena, and because his tail is so short you can’t actually see it from the front.


Anyways thats it for savannaclaw! I’ll probably posting Octavinelle tomorrow 

I recently got the magical archives book and there is a lot of character design art in it for like all the characters and theres little notes in there so I just wanted to post it so if you want to use it for art reference or something its here haha.

Disclaimer: This book is in japanese. I do not speak japanese lmao. I tried my hardest to piece together things based off of what google translate said as well as context but if I translated something wrong feel free to correct me and i’ll update this haha.

starting off: here is the general dorm uniform for Heartslabyul students:

Jesus christ this uniform has so many details ;u; Basic things: Characters are assigned a suit of a card in Heartslabyul, which determines the color of the vest and shoes (between black and red), as well as the little card pin on the jacket (shown below), even the little buttons on the jacket good god there is so much going on.

Some other misc. things: That little rose brooch is actually flat, their belt/ribbon thing is tied so the two ends of it alternate between yellow and black when next to each other. also the Heartslabyul uniform has gloves, but out of the main heartslabyul boys, Trey is the only one who actually wears them.

These are some of the smaller details like buttons, pins, etc.  

Ok moving on to actual characters:

Riddle Rosehearts

I think the note says something along the lines of Riddle being short, so the PE clothes are a little big on him lmao

The note mentions that since they wear their uniforms under their lab coats, since riddle wears a bow instead of a normal tie it just goes over the coat.

I love riddle’s dorm uniform so much lmao. also idk how much of the manga we’re considering canon but apparently wearing heels is a rule of the queen of hearts i think and riddle doesn’t actually particularly care for them, don’t quote me on that though. 

angry riddle is,,,,,,something. It says his smile is innocent which is very cute lmao

I have the overblot design stuff too but i may put that in a separate post along with Leona’s and Jamil’s 

Ace Trappola 

Ace ties the jacket around his waist, and his shoes are the same shoes he wears with his school uniform

Ace wears his lab coat open with the goggles on his head (shame on u ace ur gonna go blind)

His eyes are apparently supposed to be cat-like uwu. Also the collar from riddle’s unique magic is apparently heavy and very noticeable

Deuce Spade 

Deuce wears his PE uniform with short sleeves

Deuce pretty much wears his lab wear like, the exact way he’s supposed to lol (The note says something along the lines of “If you ignore the bangs, the googles are correct” haha)

Note says roughly “Cool beauty with a little bit of grace” and that he has a sword-like eye. I’m starting to think the character designer really likes deuce haha. Deuce is a pretty boy.

Cater Diamond

Cater wears a white long sleeved shirt under his PE uniform, and also rolls up his pant cuffs (bi king)

Cater wears his lab coat open with the goggles around his neck (again, shame on you)


God Cater is so pretty asdfghjkl. Some stuff from the notes: He has droopy eyes, both his ears are pierced, and he has a more mature face than Ace or Deuce because he’s older. might have translated it wrong but apparently his hair is supposed to be a pompadour???????????????? ok. also hes got a little fang moment going on look at his cute lil fang i love it. And his hair curls under his ears and his hair is roughly chin length.

Trey Clover

Trey wears his PE uniform short sleeved and with running shoes.

Trey wears his lab coat open and his goggles are actually prescription googles :0 he puts his glasses next to his magical pen in his coat pocket

on the bottom panel theres a whole note about “You cant see through the sides of glasses!” which i just thought was funny. 


Anyways, thats it for Heartslabyul! I’ll be posting Savannahclaw’s next uwu

I recently got the magical archives book and there is a lot of character design art in it for like all the characters and theres little notes in there so I just wanted to post it so if you want to use it for art reference or something its here haha.

Disclaimer: This book is in japanese. I do not speak japanese lmao. I tried my hardest to piece together things based off of what google translate said as well as context but if I translated something wrong feel free to correct me and i’ll update this haha.

Technically, this is just a reference for the school uniforms in general since it’s basically standard across everyone, but the character used is Deuce, I think just because he actually follows the dress standards like, completely unlike some people lmfao.

The uniform without the jacket:


And here are the gloves for the uniform:

pretty standard ig

Here is the PE uniform:

The format for the numbers on the jacket is NRC - Year - Class & Student Number

Also it looks like the sleeves and pants are made so you can have either short or long sleeves/pants which is interesting

And thats pretty much it for uniforms! Next I’ll post the Heartslabyul portion of the book uwu
