ghostfiish:

i made a tutorial for eyebrows! as i was doodling some in my notes the other day it started to dawn on me how much brows can make or break an expression depending on how you draw them. so hopefully this helps! it's less of a how-to-draw-eyebrows tutorial, and more of a how-to-use-eyebrows-to-show-emotion kinda thing, so sorry if i don't really explain the how-i-drew-it part…

faces are my very favorite things to draw so i will probably do more of these on other facial features at some point, but here's this for now.

i got that photo of the guy making faces from here: http://www.personal.psu.edu/afr3/blogs/siowfa12/2012/10/facial-expressions.html

Figure Modeling Resource [feedly]

Figure Modeling Resource
// Muddy Colors

If you don't have ready access to live models or figure drawing classes the "Croquis Cafe: The Artist Model Resource" on YouTube is invaluable. Poses are held from 1 to 5 minutes and the various videos feature men and women of all enthnicities and body types. A great library of over 100 films, but obviously not for the easily offended or youngsters.

Another wonderful Leyendecker Santa Claus
// lines and colors

I've suggested before that although others preceded him in developing the character of The Jolly One, I think the great American illustrator J.C. Leyendecker is most responsible for the contemporary version of Santa Claus we are familiar with today.

For more, see my previous Christmas Eve posts on Leyendecker's Santas and Illustrators' Visions of Santa Claus.

At long last, the hip tutorial appears!

Poor neglected hips, such an awesome part of the body but so difficult to do *right*. It really just takes a few plotted landmarks and they'll draw themselves, promise.

interesting references

Some pretty interesting fighting poses to look at, for those interested in some references. :)

We got some feedback from joyfulattic about these references; like a lot of martial arts/ fighting references, they aren't very accurate to proper (or safe) form, so keep that in mind! Happy drawing. <3
