BZZZAP! 💥 i've put together a CSP auto action set for the screentone effect i use on my lineart, check it out :)

Don't know if it was shared around here, but recently CarmahnArt (on bsky and other socials) launched Afro Index, a visual reference library of Black hairstyles. It looks really good!

Beyond photo references, it also includes the name of the hairstyles (and a glossary) which is super useful to describe images or look for additional refs.

It's been a while, but I finally caught up my giant Google doc of all my tutorials and resources. (I still have old Twitter links to update, please be patient with me 😭)

But hopefully this helps y'all find stuff I've made faster/easier :)

If you're digitally painting any winter artworks that involve trees, this video is less than a minute long and will save you loads of time adding snow on those branches. You're welcome :)

@grim_elsewhere I used to do daily gesture drawing. Basically drawing people in all kind of poses. It doesn't need to be detailed, the goal is to draw a lot of different poses and get the overall outline and gesture of the person. Very useful to practice a bit of anatomy and poses in general. You can do 1min per sketch and then a longer one of 5min or 10min.

I guess there's plenty of theory resources / tips about gesture drawing online. I can point to Adorka Stock to use their reference pictures for practice, they even have timers if you want to use them.

Also, a great book about anatomy if you want to practise it more and be less scared about it, is Anatomy for artists by Tom Fox (available in the Internet Archive!).
