how i draw

astroize:

step 1: start out with a crappy sketch you can’t even see

step 2: draw faces on top of the pre-existing smiley faces 

step 3: DISREGARD SKETCH just ink on top of it and hope for the best who cares if your anatomy is horrible the line variation and messiness covers it up

step 4: use a gamut mask tool and cheat your way through colouring

Does anyone have a tutorial for anime hair, anime eyes, a simple one for hands and a tutorial for butt’s?

Anime tutorials are not likely to help you here. You really want to be studying from life, and simplifying it down yourself.
(And to be perfectly frank, tutorials focused on the anime style tend to suck and not really do much teaching.)

However, here are a few pointers to get you started!

On drawing hair:

A great tutorial on how hair drapes and flows, definitely give it a read!

Proko is great at teaching. Definitely worth a watch, you’ll learn a lot.

These two may help as well!

http://www.hair-styles.net/random_450.htm
Just a site that generates a random hair photo. Great site for hair reference, I’d spend some time practising just drawing hair using the random photos from here.

Advice from me!
When drawing hair, don’t get caught up in the details! Sure, there are lots of strands of hair on a person’s head, but you can’t see each and every one. So there’s no reason to draw them all! It doesn’t look good when you do so.
Focus on the shape and form, picturing hair like a big cloth on someone’s head can help.
Start bald like a baby, because there’s the whole cranium that you need to take into account! The hair flows around it after all.
And just in case, have a look at the basic shape of the head:

Despite popular belief, it’s not really a simple oval. It may look that way from the front, but you have to put your brain somewhere.
It’s really more like an oval and a curvy triangle!

Hair originates from a point! Be it a parting or the crown of their head, the hair will start from a point on their head, growing outwards and down from it.
It’s greatly beneficial to draw this point, and draw from it. Things will flow more naturally that way.

Just start with the basic shape, and add the details after.This applies to anything, not just hair. Work rough and loosely, then start refining. If you draw stiffly, focusing on all the little details rather than the bigger picture, your picture will also be stiff.

On drawing hands:

Here are lots of photos you can study from, too.

On drawing eyes:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6-bCgRmcko
Once again, I recommend watching Proko’s video on the subject.
There are many, many ways to draw eyes, anime or otherwise! I’d try and find your own style if I were you c:

Understanding the structure of the eye will help you draw them, regardless as to your style. Anime eye tutorials will only ever teach you how to draw the one kind of eye, but if every character you drew had the same eyes, that’d be pretty boring!

So stylise it yourself. Have a look at how your favourite artists draw their eyes, and try figure out what it is that just works for you.

On drawing butts:

Give this a read, seriously. It is by far the best resource I have ever seen for painting, hands down. It’s long, but so very worth the read.
