Whoa nice tutorial, thanks! Β Question- is it crucial to memorize where/whether an arterial Β or veinal cut should take place?Β 

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

verticalfish In reply to GhostNinjaART [2015-06-11 23:36:08 +0000 UTC]

Not really, just to know that veins are more superficial and therefore more easily cut. It takes really deep cuts to damage arteries.

Oh, that would be nice if you're using traditional media. I never thought of doing that but you probably get a good spray effect from that.

I'm drawing an Β action scene where it involves a very fast and brutal blow to the head with an axe. How will the blood flow there?
