Description At long last, I have completed this.
After a lot Β of questions I received, demanding if I'd ever make a tutorial on the skeksis...I thought it would be good to make this!

I am sorry if it is somewhat cramped together and confuse...it's my first true tutorial...

I hope that, even with all it's small mistakes, it will help you a little into designing, drawing and shaping off skeksis!

Enjoy!...And pleae, let me know if it's clear enough, or useful for you! ^^

With this, I can now begin the shameless process of drawing terrible fanart & fan characters.

Thank you SkekLa, you are a treasure to the TDC community.

Now I want to designs new clothes for SkekKel. I want to show his position! Arghhh!
This is extremely helpful! For someone who is learning how to draw, it's almost a must-read!

SkekLa In reply to ArlenFram [2015-04-02 15:22:15 +0000 UTC]

Heheeheh do it!
I CHALLENGE!

I know you can, you just must not be afraid of how he's gona look...my drawings always look stiff or bad if I get scared that I can't draw it...when I stop thinking and start feeling more who I want to drw, who he/she is, and how much I ike or dislike them...they come out easier and better!

ArlenFram In reply to SkekLa [2015-04-02 16:15:02 +0000 UTC]

Haha! I am drawing some stuff now and then, when I was writing it! It goes pretty well but better when I look at something and can see the face/clothes... That's why I look at skeksis since then and try to imagine how SkekKel's different wardrobe elements could look like! I imgaine he should have tons of clothes in the closet!

SkekLa In reply to ArlenFram [2015-04-03 18:12:42 +0000 UTC]
