I’m always leaving out feet because I really suck at drawing feet and shoes… So here some studies.

Had a class on inventing figures for animation by Rad Sechrist (Dreamworks) today. Here’s a few pages from my notes on breaking down head structure and tips on varying head sizes and shapes. Some of these you might already know, but it’s still very useful to keep in mind while drawing.
Also a tip on how to draw jawline when the character is looking upwards. Most common mistake is in drawing the jawline facing at an angle above horizontal, because when heads look up, jawline is still either in line with the horizontal, or slightly below it. The only time jawline point at an angle above horizon is when the character is looking up at an extreme angle (almost straight up!)

ALL. OF. THESE. THINGS.
YOU. ARE. ALL. AMAZING.
NEVER. LIMIT. YOURSELF.
This is all of the true. I need, like, a daily reminder of how true this is.
Pumps me up enough for my second year. Everyone, read this! Be inspired! Never give up! Practice and make work!
legit
gonna print these out
I could explain this a lot better, but I’m lazy today. |(
Also, I made it a dude each time because drawing in boobs would distract from the underlying muscle and stuff. :Y

I drew a newer/cleaner version of this in English for the anon who asked for an English version a month ago or so? Sorry for taking so long orz
This has the same info in it as before except for one extra point.
Anyways, again, these are all self-observed notes! I don’t study art or whatever! And I highly suggest you look at different pictures of faces and practice this to have a better understanding.

Ray Frenden reviews the too-cheap-to-be-true Monoprice graphics tablets. How do they stack up to industry standard Wacoms?
After spending a week with the 6.25“x10” Monoprice, my Yiynova and Cintiq remain unplugged and I gave my Intuos away to a friend. The Monoprice tracks subtle pressure variances and small movements with less lag and more crisp fidelity than any of the others. It is, put crudely, fucking awesome, in both OSX Lion and Windows 7 x64.
Duly fuckin’ noted.
I’ve had my $80, 3.5x5” gaphire 4 for 5 years now, and have been absolutely dreading the day it finally kicks the bucket. (Yes, every digital piece I’ve ever drawn has been on a live area the size of a postcard.)
I am so getting one of these when this thing dies. Or maybe when the stylus dies… thing’s hanging on by a thread. (Let’s just say it’s been without a grip or buttons for I don’t know how many years now.)
Yay for companies not having a veritable monopoly on the market.
I have one of these, 10x6.5 I bought about two months ago for 48 bucks. It’s a billion times better than my old Wacom Bamboo and works like a fuckin dream.
whoa… I never thought. But that video doesn’t lie, my god this thing has an accuracy that’s pretty insane. Wow, should I get one of these?? holy crap!
the whole pen needing a battery thing is a bit of a dealbreaker, though, batteries get expensive and are horrible for the environment… I suppose I could get rechargeable ones though? Dude. Dude. Guys, I… I wonder if I should get this…
I wanna get a small one for work. Yes.
Oooo… :o
Reblogging for folks that want tablets but haven’t been able to afford them. Grab these suckers! Hell, I might get one and test it against my tablet.
Hey @akitron and @dauntdraws. RELEVANT TO YOUR INTERESTS? IDK if you’ve seen this so…
Shit, dude, I am going to fucking buy one. Guys go read the review and watch the video, this is unreal. Can’t wait to try it! :) Will comment more once I get my hands on one.
