Practice of anatomy - WORKSHOP (pt. 3)

Once you have that knowledge of anatomy it’s easier to apply it in practice. This is when you can delve in the following topics: gesture, deconstruction & construction, body types, fat, perspective, color, light & shadows of the skin.
We will discuss those in this workshop.

Kinktober - Werewolf sequence 1

As part of kinktober, yes I know I'm late, I wanted to draw a werewolf transformation sequence with Scott from Monster Prom. It's very NSFW.

Simple Spirits Brushes

They are finally here! The Simple Spirits Brushes! 😍

First you have the basics, those are the same for everyone but I arranged them just the way that I wanted:

  • Hard Round Brush & Eraser
    This brush only change size with pen pressure. I use this for coloring.
  • Faint Round Brush & Eraser EDITED
    This brush changes opacity, flow & size with pen pressure. I use this to put highlights on objects.

    Edit: The brush was in "multiply" Brush setup I changed that to be on"Normal".
  • Soft Round Brush & Eraser
    This brush changes opacity & flow with pen pressure. This works amazingly for lens effects, fog or gradients.

    Edit: The brush was in "multiply" Brush setup I changed that to be on"Normal".

Here are the brushes that I made myself and refined over the years:

  • Bister
    This brush changes opacity & flow with pen pressure. It's also on a multiply setting so the brush layers towards black. I always wanted my own brush for under-paintings or quick drafts, it has a nice texture.
  • Sketch
    This brush changes opacity, flow & size with pen pressure. It's also on a multiply setting so the brush layers towards black. I use it to sketch.
  • Blend
    This brush is a smudge tool modified in a very effective blending tool. You can change the hardness to be 0% or 100% to have soft or sharp blending.
  • 1 pixel
    This brush changes opacity & size with pen pressure. Very useful to add small details and scribbly textures on your drawing.

    Edit: I adjusted the Flow and added pen pressure sensitivity.
  • Marker
    This brush only changes in opacity and has a bit of smoothing. I think its use is pretty self-explanatory.
  • Calligraphy
    This brush only changes in opacity with pen sensitivity and has a bit of smoothing. I think its use is pretty self-explanatory. It mimics the Chinese ink texture.
  • Sharp Star
    This brush has a scattering effect o it which means it's going to scatter the stars unevenly in numbers and size. Sometimes I need something to look extra shiny so I add these sharp looking stars with this brush.
  • Shiny Star
    This brush has a scattering effect o it which means it's going to scatter the stars unevenly in numbers and size. Sometimes I need my shine to look extra shiny so I made this brush.
  • Hatching
    This brush only changes in opacity with pen sensitivity. I haven't actually used this brush yet but I know I will need it. I also want to make a "japanese dots" brush but I haven't figured how to do that just yet.
  • Bokeh
    This brush changes opacity, flow & size with pen pressure. I'm an avid lover of Bokeh in photography hence why I made this brush to have the Bokeh that I deserve. Usually I like to use white on a layer with "overlay setting". But recently I have been experimenting with other colors with surprising results.

    Edit: I recently learned that Bokeh always has the same size so I adjusted that, before it changed size with the pen pressure, now it doesn't. I also added a dual brush feature which means that sometimes the bokeh will have parts of it that disappear like with real bokeh, and it's in "Screen" setup so it will add onto itself and become brighter.

Anyone interested in my brushes by any chance?

I'm currently upgrading them so I was thinking... are you guys interested in them?

For this workshop, we will purely discuss the theory of anatomy. Essentially that means biology. It's the most boring part of anatomy but fundamental nonetheless!
This is part 2: Muscles! ✌✨

The poll results

Good morning guys ❀
I saw the poll this morning and saw it was at 50-50%
From this I can deduce that you all obviously enjoy both sketches AND final pieces. Which brings me a lot of joy!
Final pieces are hard to make but look the prettiest so they bring me satisfaction. Sketches are easy to make and procure me the most joy as an artist, since there is less pressure to have a finished product.
Sadly i don't think at the moment that i can give more than 1 finished piece per month. My job, studies and private life all take their space and it's hard to balance it all!
Once I have more time I will make it so that you guys can get 2-3 finished pieces per month. But this is definitely not for now haha
me struggly...

New billing schedule

Hey Patrons!

Just an update to let you guys know we changed the billing schedule, as Patreon now offers an option that we prefer.

Patrons are charged on the day they join your membership, and then monthly on that same date. For example, if a patron joins on the 10th, they’ll be charged on that day, and then monthly on the 10th. All patrons who joined before your switch to subscription billing continue to be charged on the 1st of each month.

We thought this made more sense as otherwise, people who join later in the month would have to pay twice in a short period of time.

Breast Cancer Awareness - Oct 13th

This year, for the first time, we decided to make a drawing challenge about breast cancer as it is a worldwide awareness event to help AFAB people and inspire hope to those affected by breast cancer through early detection, education, and support services.
We can't do much except for spreading awareness.
Here is my take on the challenge.
