Hand Poses by Melyssah6

I stumbled upon these and love them! If you struggle with hands (like me) these are great for practice and referencing. Thought I’d share my finds with other artists~.

*O*

Thank you!

Anonymous asked you:

How did u get so good at drawing guns, and how long have u been drawing them?

Thank you for the compliment! I wouldn’t call myself an expert on the matter yet (I’m still doing my best to learn!), but drawing guns is actually not as difficult as most people would think-I threw together a little how-to that more or less illustrates my thought process when tackling guns (semi-automatic pistols, sorry). This is just bare bones information however, for there are many different makes and models of guns that won’t always comply with steps 2 and 3 of this tutorial (the example I drew is based off a SIGp228). But that’s where the internet and picture references come in to help fill in the blanks!

Funny thing is that I avoided drawing guns like the plague up until last year when my buddy finally took me shooting and I think I developed some sort of mutual understanding with them (read: I really really liked it) and decided to learn how to draw them good!

/EDIT/PS ANON IF YOU MEANT TO ASK HOW I DRAW NOT FIREARM GUNS BUT MUSCLE GUNS THEN I’M SORRY OMG

The book does have a basic breakdown of the hands, but I felt that references like these were much more needed.

Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty, Metropolitan Museum of Art, 2011

‘Romantic Gothic’

“The surface treatment in Romantic Gothic is primarily aged mirrors, a material that evokes the idea of Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Fall of the House of Usher.” McQueen often called himself the Edgar Allan Poe of fashion. One of the most prevalent and ongoing themes in McQueen’s work was the Gothic, particularly the darker side of the 19th century, of Victorianism. Many of the pieces are inspired by the cult of death, and it’s also peopled with characters associated with the literary concept of the Gothic, like vampires, highwaymen, antiheroes, or Byronic heroes. We have a casket featuring McQueen’s posthumous collection, unofficially called ‘Angels and Demons’, and it shows McQueen’s engagement with art history, as well as his love of Flemish painters that was his favourite moment in art history.”

Various works by Tae (たえ)

Tae is a Japanese artist who often paints portraits of women in her works. Her minimal use of color as well as the movement of shapes and digital brushstrokes across the portraits create a clean, seemingly weightless space within which her characters exist.

Skulls, Noses and Lips and a great painting process all done by Griffinfly!

Source: http://griffinfly.deviantart.com/

The skull model is a google sketch up model you can grab from 3d warehouse.

If you do the skull studies I would suggest throwing some eyes into the skull for an added bonus and it gives an awesome creepy personality to the skull. It’s something I picked up from my kickass teacher Erik Gist.

some of these I’ve posted before, but, it’s always a good refresher!
