Wings Anyone?

Wings anyone?

a couple snippets from a presentation i gave at school this past week on storyboarding!!

‼️DISCLAIMER: I am a still a student and have only worked on student and indie projects! This is just stuff that I personally find helpful as an amateur, so feel free to take it with a grain of salt!

Happy boarding, friends! ✍️💕

This is suuuper bare bones but this is basically how I make space. The great thing about space is that there’s really no right or wrong way to go about it- depending on the style- just pepper in some stars / as little or as much color as you want and BLAM- space also to note (cos I’m silly and forgot to add):

step 1 is base layer

step 2-5 is all one layer

step 6-7 in one layer

step 8 is one (optional) layer

(also layer effects and references are your friend.)

(also also the other brush I used was the Uneven layering brush right above the one I have circled) I hope this helps!

Here it is, a little help on how to draw kinky/4c hair, it’s my first tutorial but I hope it helps.💖 // feel free to reblog so others can learn

um hi! I recently designed a cyclops nerd for something and I know you draw the raddest cyclopses. Do you have any tips and tricks for doing good cyclops expressions? I feel like I'm flailing a bit and not doing it as well as I could be.

Well I’m not great at tutorials and half the time I don’t know what I’m doing myself, but I can try and offer some pointers! I know that with cyclopes, it can be trickier to make the intended expression clear. Body language, the mouth/cheeks, stretching the face, changing of the iris vs pupil size etc all helps, as it can for any expression, but we’ll focus on the primary obstacle with cyclopses for now: having to work with one eyebrow instead of two.

What tends to work best is to have the intended expression of their eye and brow reading the same direction they are, as if it is that side’s eye if they had two instead of just one. So it doesn’t really matter where they’re looking, if their head itself is facing the viewer’s left, draw the eye like you’d draw a two-eyed character’s left eye. Otherwise, you can end up with a hard-to-read expression, or a perfectly clear but totally different expression than what you meant.

The unibrow thing usually works, but sometimes you have to play it by ear and just stylize the eye to look a little more like a left or right eye just so there’s clarity on what face you’re trying to convey.
