This is really nice work…….. via Art LOVER
THAT’S how you make lace??
That’s insane. I feel like I’m watching one of those keep your eye on the ball/cup games, and I can NOT keep track of which is the lead pin. Her hands are just flying!

OH MY GOD LOOK AT HIM
There are so many cute things on my dash tonight and I am delighted.
Okay death to the guy in the black hoodie who just walked past as the little one tried to extend the board for him. How could you.
i cant believe the peacock miraculous grants the power of making your fursonas come to life
Fun fact: Ross handing the lamp to Chandler wasn’t scripted. David Schwimmer just randomly handed it to Matthew Perry. Matthew’s reaction is one hundred percent genuine.
That’s even better

THANK YOUUU that’s super flattering, i did use reference for those drawings but i do have a lot of it memorized generally also. i’ve been really lucky/blessed to have some incredible anatomy professors
hands and feet i’ve always been rusty on but i’ve always been good at gesture for hands. when cleaning up drawings of hands i actually have to fudge around quite a bit before it looks right. but the gesture is often good on the first try
one of the most helpful things for me was copying Preston Blair cartoon hands. Sounds dumb but actually copying preston Blair drawings was when I went from being pretty good at drawing to Good At Drawing. It’s the “construction method” he teaches that changed it for me!!
here’s the hands I copied
BUT ALSO!!! THIS IS IMPORTANT
PAY ATTENTION
Draw your own hands from observation!!
Allow yourself permission to make bad drawings for an hour, don’t spend more than 5 minutes on each drawing. Think of how the flesh is made of bone and flesh so there are squishy parts working with hard, non-squishy bone. Try to not think of it as drawing lines, but drawing forms, like a series of rounded cylinders smooshing against each other connected by hard bone. so draw form, not lines. when you draw a line, think about why that line is there. what is the form you’re drawing?? is it squishy? is it being pinched/squished by another form and creating a “cleavage” line? or is it hard? what’s underneath that skin? cool thing about drawing bodies is you have one. you can grab/palpate/poke/squish em while looking at anatomy books (if you want, not that necessary) and get an idea of what the shape of the form is.
something that helped me that my animation teacher taught me was to have a red or blue erasable pencil Col Erase pencil, draw the forms, then “knock it back” by rolling a kneeded eraser over the red drawing then go over it with your regular black lead pencil and draw the lines to show how the shapes overlap and all that. you don’t need to do it this way, and obviously you can do it digitally easily too!
I dont’ have my preston blair hands drawings but I did it with drawing characters. You can barely see the red lines but you can see i started out with basically squashed and stretched spheres/basic shapes. look up preston blair how to draw pages… and copy from them using the construction method. one of the most important things i ever did!!! looks silly but it AIN’T
Something I’ve also done is something called a blind contour drawing, which is where you draw something without ever looking at the drawing. itll look absolutely crazy but it doesn’t matter! just look at your hand, and draw what you see, and ideally never pick up your pen/pencil. it helps you see stuff you wouldn’t normally see if you were concerned with what your drawing looked like.
These are drawings of my hands I did like…. 4-5 years ago. i don’t think i have any blind contour drawings in here. don’t compare yours to mine, everyone’s look different and that’s a good thing. it’s just about learning to see, and understand, not about making it look good (you can do that later)
a separate matter altogether though is the body language of your hands and wrists, which is HUGE and subtle but i feel like there are some rules for it.. i could potentially do another post on it, but i might not.
Until then when drawing the cartoon hands think about the attitude each one of them has. like even if it seems like there’s none, come up with one like “curious” “delicate” “demanding” “sneaky” “timid”. hands are one of the most expressive parts of the body, followed by the eyes/eyebrows and shoulders. And so deciding that you’re drawing a timid hand instead of just a hand, that intentionality WILL eventually subtly bleed into your drawing and become more expressive.
I HOPE THAT HELPS!! SORRY it’s so long ppl who had to scroll!!
Guys do centaurs have to eat both horse food and human food?
Centaur, eating out of a burlap sack of hay like it’s potato chips: So do you guys wanna get Chipotle later?
Centaur: *kneeling on the ground, ripping up bits of grass and eating it*
Nearby horse: *neighs*
Centaur: Well it’s easy for you to bend over, isn’t it?
Horse: *snorts*
Centaur: *through a mouthful of grass* Well goody goody for you, but some of us have two spines.
Human: Hey does somebody want the rest of my burger?
Centaur: Oh I’ll have it. I am starving.
Human: Didn’t you just eat like an entire barrel of hay?
Centaur: *snatches the burger* That was for the horse stomach not the human one. Don’t be racist, Carl.
DON’T BE RACIST CARL
That spine comment made me reevaluate my life
Two spines, two ribcages, and six limbs baby! And a tail! Four shoulders!
This picture makes my intellectual half happy but also causes me great pain
go here
instead of printing it off just use this blank thing that way you dont have to scan it or anything
so fill that out by pasting it in any art program and whatnot
then save it and upload it to that site
and itll give you an option to download it
so do that and then install it BAM
I JUST GOT THIS ON MY TABLET IT’S SO COOL OH MY GOD
for some reason it refused to recognize the third page of my letters but they were all pretty unnecessary mathematic things anyway so I’m not too worried. still something to keep in mind though, I hope it doesn’t happen for you!
paintfont.com would be a good place to go to quickly make a custom font for your comic!
ehh
It looks just as horrible in real life..even worse with the letter attached…
I’ll try this later.
you can also use alternative alphabets
Welp. Guess I know what font I’m gonna be using for comics from now on. B)
Welp. Looks like I have to do this now. So I can use this for Tengri’s asks.
For some reason there is no apostrophe in my set, but it still looks cool.
NEAT THING ALERT
The site is now called https://www.calligraphr.com/en/ but it’s basically the same!
it’s been 3 days and i can’t stop thinking abt these
You missed the best part, my friend. These are just two photos from a whole book.
Please, enjoy this smattering of beauty and wonder.
These make me so happy
I love all of these, but I am SCREAMING over the last one.
Those boys are perfect.
if i might add:
This entire book looks like someone’s fever dream brought to life through some dark pact with an eldritch being… and I love it.
what??? this is absolutely wonderful, it makes me happy just looking at it! i must obtain it!
I know what I want for my birthday…
