Description
I did my best to share tips and such (it's kind of hard because I'm not sure how exactly I do it or how good I am at it lmao)Hopefully this helps though!
Seriously though- the boob thing.
stahp
focus on the woman's face
portraits of women almost always extend down to include the bust
it's not necessary
All art and tutorial made in GIMP 2.8

Love this - It's so useful. I also really love your style of semi-realism. Are you looking to do more tutorials/guide things in the future?Β

Thank you~ I hope it comes in handy for you!
I am going to do a tutorial on different ages and androgynous people. I think I'll work on the age one next- I just have to add a few more sketches and write up some stuff on it.
Beyond that, IDK. I'll see what people want to see from me. I've been asked about landscapes, but I don't really have any advice on that since I'm still learning myself. X)

Ah. Landscapes are hard. I haven't bothered much with them since I don't need too right now, but what little I have done of them, they are tough.Β
It will be cool to see the next ones - I have such a hard time with age. D:

"short hair is wonderful and easy to manage and women with short hair are so cute and important, okay?"

For real tho. X"D
Which reminded me that I need to get a haircut again... Or maybe let my hair grow out for the winter... ... Or just buy a nice scarf so my neck doesn't get so damn cold.

Bluh troublesome humans.
But yes people please stop the boob thing it's so dumb
not to mention distracting
even if you're a girl it's still very distracting

Aerorwen In reply to MarissaBlackwing [2015-10-16 21:59:50 +0000 UTC]
No, no- Glorious, glorious humans~ *w*
For real
though that's mostly because the eye is drawn what's most detailed/in the center
which is why it's super obvious when someone cares more about the boobs then the character's face
But I digress

This is really nice. I've been thinking of getting into drawing. If I do, I'll make sure to keep this in mind.

i thought it was just the eyelashes that made me able to tell

Aerorwen In reply to Scytheclone [2015-10-16 22:03:32 +0000 UTC]
Nopity nope. Unless that's all the artist is doing to differenciate the two.Β
But that's almost never the case- whether they realize it or not, even really simple styles employ other gender distinctions than just the eyelash.
Disney doesn't even have to do it- they could take them off their princesses and we'd still know because they have very feminine faces.

Hah, funny, I was more certain of John than I was of Leaf. XD

I remember back when my brother struggled drawing women. This would've been helpful. xD

Ugh, thank you. Β I often have issues where my women, when I don't want them to, look androgynous.
It's awesome when that's what I was going for, but not when it isn't. Β Thank you (:

Aerorwen In reply to RocCenere [2015-10-16 22:07:24 +0000 UTC]
Haha, no problem~ X)
It took me a while to figure it out. Making this tutorial I realized that I was better at drawing women than I thought.
Androgynous faces are hard though so don't forget how to do it, lmao. You might want that skill later. X"D

You should totally do more tips and tricks like this.
Call it "Art Things with Aero" or something XD

Aerorwen In reply to DominoMastadon [2015-10-16 22:09:52 +0000 UTC]
Well, I've got an andrognyous and age one to write up yet. X)
Might consider doing a few more after that, IDK. Tutorials are hard work. ;w;
