References for the soul


~3/19 HIATUS!!

I will add as many things to the queue as I can. ~

Well uhm..hello there ;u;. This is my art blog~!...Or my first one anyway.. I made a second one since this kind of turned into an unorganized reference blog for myself. I may reblog my art to here or maybe not, I don't know LOL. I'm a tad too intimidated to do that right now, PF.

BUT you're more than welcome to follow just for references or things you find helpful, alright~?
Ignore my ugly art if you ever see it here v u v

Height/weight reference chart

frankmorys:

HERE

I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS SITE. If you’re like me, you occasionally find yourself staring at someone like a huge creep because it isn’t normal to go up and ask people their height and weight, but you wish it was because you think they look a lot like one of your characters and you’d like to know. WELL THERE YOU GO.

anon asked me how do I draw different sized boobs so I whipped up a tutorial (I draw slow, sorry) I am not a good expert at boobies soo sorry x2! weh haha
basically flat = pointy-ish, as boobs size increase the lower half gets rounder, then the top half. boobies are floppy towards the sides due to gravity

shape/perspective of boobs

all the oppais!
even though I am still not really good at drawing boobs at all sigh… i hope you find this useful even for a bit hahaa……..;;

Hello and thank you! C:
I’m just going to throw some links to tutorials here at you because it’s easier than explaining on my own, haha.
Unique Features pt 1 (body types)Unique Features pt 2 (female faces) Unique Features pt 3 (male faces) 
Female Body Tutorial (note that the same can be applied to male characters with a few modifications - e.g. the bust/waist/hips/thighs can be modified to shoulders/chest (ribcage)/thighs for male characters, and can be expanded to include neck, shoulders, arms (both upper and lower), and calves for both sexes - all can have varying sizes in any given character, which is what creates a unique silhouette)
Guide to Human Types pt 1 (Asian)Guide to Human Types pt 2 (Caucasian)Guide to Human Types pt 3 (African and Pacific Islands)Guide to Human Types addendum
Skin: A Chart (note that this is a supplement to a tutorial on how to paint skin, linked in the description to the image)
Younger vs. Older features (a non-realism view on how to make characters look younger by reducing facial detail - not applicable to all styles and character designs but it can be a helpful thing to keep in mind)Guide to Aging Characters
Ethnic Hair Types pt 1
…I get the feeling I’m forgetting to link something (and for the life of me I couldn’t find anything good on how to draw fatter characters), but there’s the basics I can remember.

I guess when I watch too much animu, I get irritated about the lack of variety.
Don’t even get me started on ”gender roles”. That could take five full sheets of this.

Ok I was recently reminded that this exists (i-I think someone DA-famous linked it or something because WHAT) and I think this may be relevant to tumblr’s interests so here’s my~female body variation tutorial~ whoo~

This came from some things I scribbled down when I was trying to keep my character designs consistent, and I realised that it kinda made me see bodies/proportions somewhat differently so I pasted it into this smarmy old tutorial, now cut up into (I hope) tumblr-friendly chunks so right-click for full size I think? (disclaimer: I don’t know anything and it is so far past my bedtime that it’s been tomorrow for a whole day so I’m going to nap and then maybe regret posting this.)

Sehr gutt! I love the exercise of making different bust-waist-hip-thigh combinations ^^

Just a few [of the] references [from different websites] I’ve compiled for making more unique face/body shapes in my characters.

Of course, creative liberty is (and can be) taken on most of these shapes, but anyone who wishes to design a character should at least know that there are many shapes and sizes for characters to be and that can define them.

I encourage making each character, human or animal, unique and identifiable by their silhouettes and profiles when they’re bald and unclothed.

fuck nevermind trying to find ways to not suck at art.
