so making last night's editable gave me the idea to draw my boy, Speck balancing a marshmallow on his nose.

Why i drew fancy effects around the marshmallow itself i have no idea, just thought it would be fun. x)

So sorry for the wait! I don't like these too much personally, but I hope they could be of help! On the drawing, I left a few pointers on the other parts of the face, where they line up etc, but the notes will mostly be on muzzles.

I'm of course willing to answer any questions if my drawings or notes are unclear! ^^ I'll post the cats next, just as soon as I write up notes for them.


Notes


- Small note
-- I pulled out the horizontal lines from the profile view to show how features can be accurately measured, and by extension translated into another view. This is pretty good if you have a certain view down, and want to use your knowledge of that view to help with another. and also by extension this is good for character consistency and turn arounds--

- Profile

-- A pretty straight forward shape. For canines, no matter the length of the muzzle, the top of the snout should be parallel to the forehead. (These lines are indicated in red)

-- The snout tapers towards the nose, and is broader towards the face.

-- Also small note that dogs tend to have their heads tilted down very often.


- Front

-- Much like the alignment of the features on the face itself, the muzzle resembles a somewhat-curved diamond shape.

-- The edge of the nose often aligns with the tear duct (and by extension, also aligns with the edge of the lip/chin). While the farthest edge of the muzzle aligns with the very center of the eye. The snout begins at the tear ducts, curves out to this farthest edge, and slides down to the edge of the lip (aligning with the tear duct again).

--For setting the foundation of the sketch, I suggest you use whatever shape you like. I notice most of us use circles, but some of us work better with squares and such, if it's something you'd like to try. (Sometimes if I'm having trouble for whatever reason, I'll start sketches with squares instead to change things up)

-- You really only have to draw half of the face. Mark the centerline, just do it,,, sometimes I try to eyeball it without the line, but generally it doesn't work out. This ensures you don't cross, or move away from, an imaginary line. And once you draw the first half, you could just flip it and align it with the line


- Three quarter

-- Keeping everything in mind about the front and side view will help you draw the 3/4th view. Remember to drop a center line in there! You will use it to extend the muzzle outwards from it.

-- The muzzle still starts at the tear ducts. Since the head is tilted down, it slopes downward COUGHobviously. Remaining parallel with the forehead as always. Pull 2 lines from the tear ducts to mark the edges of the nose. In order to look correct, both lines must be mostly parallel with the muzzle's center line

-- The major shape of the muzzle is like a cheese grater... squarish, broad towards the face, tapering towards the nose. Marking the center line will help with feature placement. You will see less on the farthest side away from you, for example, look at how the shapes of the eyes change in this view, and how they're not the same.

---

You will be added incase you would like to try going in and figuring out the shapes better. As always, be sure to let me know if anything needs to be explained better. ^^

Shadow Man
by ashley @ Mon Jan 18, 2021 6:49 am [Reply]

Shadow Man

Have you ever felt a breeze that gave you a different kind of chill.... have you ever felt it creeping down your neck ... Have you tried looking because you swear you just seen this glimpse in the corner of your eye... You’ll never look him in the eye, perhaps because his are gone. You can’t see him, but he’s always watching you.

Anybody interested?

Leek.dot @ Mon Jan 18, 2021 6:49 am

Reminds me of Felix.

ashley @ Mon Jan 18, 2021 6:53 am

Oh. I am new to this so I hope I didn’t do anything to copy anybody else. Finally decided to draw something and this was the first that came to mind.

Nope. Felix is not a shadow person. He is my (imaginary) friend. Well he's more of an explanation of anything creepy that happens.
,,Think you heared a voice? It was just your friend Felix! Think you saw a figure at the end of the hallway? It's just Felix! How did that thing fall? It's just Felix messing with you! Are you scared of that dark room? Don't worry, Felix will protect you no matter how dark it gets!''

I swear I'm not crazy...

An entry for a character design competition c: I love this piece so much aaahhhh, I'm so happy with how the lineart turned out and the overall design of this character <3 I haven't drawn something I've been proud of in a really long time ;u; Timer is definitely correct since I worked non stop on this with two breaks in between. I selfishly hope I lose so I have a chance at keeping her XD

How long have you been following me?; a few days or so! when you posted the c4c about the dark snake thing, but ive know of you for a little long, and i see you pop up quite a lot! just recently decided to follow tho
Give me one fact about yourself I might not know; mmm i too like to draw but oekaki sucks
Song suggestions?; outlanders playlist! i really love it


a few days ago turned into,, not a few days ago agisusahui
Oekaki is a bit of a pain to learn and get working with a table but can be workable and even fun too for how simple it is. it really makes you appreciate fancy brushies in sai and krita and other programs, reminds me of ms paint in a way?
OUTLANDERS! PLAYLIST! GREAT MUSIC!
