Title: Public Service- Understanding before Drawing
Post by: Radio on July 21, 2015, 04:31:22 PM
A lot of aspiring artists of seen and have come to know want to become like their inspirations.
My own being JayNaylor.
However, these individuals find road blocks on their path to becoming a successful artist.

1. Lack of anatomical understanding.
2. Keeping things in proportion.
3. Shading (Properly)
4. Finding their own unique style.


To help out my furs, I am making it my quest to search for the best lessons and tutorials that I can find on the internet. I will attempt to find at least 3 tutorials for each of the following materials.
