Description So after the polls people said design tut, here it is. Been working on it on and off in between commissions...Is this even helpful?!?! lsakjdf XD; It's so tl;dr - I could fill pages upon pages about this stuff. But I don't have enough time.

But yesu.

Feel free to ask if you've any questions.

I'm sure there's tons of typos I just...I'm tired but I was even more tired of seeing this peeking out from behind my other canvases LOL;

I've been scowering for something to help me understand the use of basic shapes in character design for ages ;______; you have answered my prayerssss<33
It's already very helpful too, in that it's made something that seemed like only 'naturally talented' people could ever do well, into something I can get better at with enough playing. Thank you!

Amazing tutorial, I'll keep this well in mind when designing human characters
So much love for thissss!!!!!!!!

Also, another thing in here I noticed was your use of balanced colors; you would spread the colors throughout the entire design instead of just one spot. Apparently that's really important 8D

This is a really helpful reminder. The one art class I took in mofo 9th grade taught me this, but it's been so long this brought back many helpful key points.

Desinging. Oh yeah.
