omg your anatomy study is so good! It makes me wanna try drawing anatomy studies too even tho i only know the bare basics. heck id love to see a thread of your anatomy studies

It makes me wanna try drawing anatomy studies too even tho i only know the bare basics.

Do it, no better time than now! There are ton of useful tutorials and stock photos out there, you don't really need much to start, for starting studies you just need some references of people. I save everything I can, both models and bodybuilders and other types of bodies, because they all kinda look different on the surface and it may be confusing.
Maybe later you will find out you lack some knowledge that prevents you from understanding details of what's going on on the photo (that's what I am coming from right now, I just have an itching desire to finally get all this stuff), but generally you don't need to go and understand all the muscles

[euphisa]

aight traced 2 models and identified their muscles. I traced one anatomy study of the back muscle (i think i sorta understand back muscles now, tho idk how the muscles shift for different poses) and traced 3 legs anatomy, and with the knowledge i drew one leg (the one with the cyan)

@euphisa Yay for our art becoming better today!

[Legendofgenii]

I found a meme last week and wanted to doodle it ever since. So this exists now.

Aatma tuning in to watch his favourite teenage drama. Haha!

Beautiful linework! I wanna describe it as "fine" for some reason, but it's better than that lol

@Kelheor @euphisa masterful students! I'm geeking out looking at these!

Decided to try my hand at designing a personal handcannon for D2, called "One-Man Harmony", using my personal favorite handcannon the Ace of Spades as a reference.

(Tapas is having some trouble with the various shades of black and grey, but whatever.)
I'm actually really happy with how the details came out on this one, from the pride flags on either side of the revolving chamber to the stripes of purple and green completing my signature color palette.

[Calculus_Homework]

I hope I'm doing this forum posting thing right....
But this is a WIP I started, going to do an illustrative "cover" thing before the comic's launch.
Does anyone else keep a file with 1 million layers just for random doodling? :}

[Kelheor]

Damn this looks amazing love her features!

Haha yeah, I do. I made files with sketches for every "fandom" I have (now... how does one call it if it's their creation? Just "universe"? Hmmm), but I usually still sketch in the "Random sketches" file anyway

[Calculus_Homework]

lolol sketches of our U N I V E R S E
We artists are hot messes. But that's how we like it.

These are some old sketches to already completed art(well everything but the bike is completed):

Just amazing and now I want popcorn too!! I made a ceramic bowl that looked a lot like that in college, wonder what happened to it.

@Kelheor @euphisa Rock on, anatomy club - I find it super motivating to see these .

@nathanKmcwilliams thanks I now need popcorn and pizza... Someone send help . Can't see a ninja turtle without a pizza craving.

@Calculus_Homework oh wow, beautiful! Really appealing art style you have. I prefer organized folders so I can browse through thumbnails and see everything but when I want to bury/hide stuff, yup!

@Enigma_the_Slimy_Boi looks great! Is hand cannon the hip term for handgun these days? Or is it a different thing . Asking for an out of touch friend of course!

[Random_Guy]

A handcannon is far more powerful than a handgun, depending on who you ask it's either a type of handgun or its own class. They're typically larger, thicker barrels with bigger calibers. They're always revolvers and they hit a hell of a lot harder.

I'm not sure if they've ever actually really existed, but you see them around in video games, the most famous I can think of is from Resident Evil 4.

[migxmeg]

Aha! Makes a lot of sense - video games have some cool stuff but I've never played shooters because I suck so bad at them . Been getting started with historical guns research and I'd seen literal tiny hand cannons (handgonnes I think they're called) but it didn't match. Thank you!!

[BarBarKetrab]

I'm practicing using this art style again. I guess this is some kind of column.

[Random_Guy]

Yeah, hand cannons, sometimes called handgonnes, are a separate thing, basically the earliest predecessor to the modern idea of a firearm.

This image^ is supposedly from the 14th century, to give you an idea of just how old we're talking. Supposedly they've potentially existed since as early as the 12th century, we do have art dating to the 1100s.

[migxmeg]

Yeah!! There's little ones too, which are kind of cute .
