Tips about how to draw animal paws/feet/hooves

Small note: This article will be mostly about "typical" mammals like canines, felines, horses and bears. Other animals might be quickly commented on as well, but I won't go into much depth there. I'd also highly recommend you to look up reference photos as soon as you get uncertain about something - they don't bite. So, animal paws and hooves. Like human hands, they are notoriously hard to get right - and I think a lot of animal artists knows and had used the old trick of hiding them behind grass or some strategically placed rocks. I have used it quite a bit when I was younger, at least :lol: However, paws really don't have to be that hard, as long as you keep a couple things in mind and know some basic anatomy and shapes. This tutorial aims at explaining this, and should hopefully make those tricky paws a bit less challenging. The three basic kinds of animal feet First of all, the anatomy. I think most of you know that human feet are different from dog paws, and that hooves are

The (I hope) ultimate guide to drawing fur

Edit: For the actual ultimate guide (in PDF format, even), look no further: The actual Ultimate Guide to Drawing Fur Introduction This is an unusual tutorial for me - in fact, I'd say it's an unusual tutorial in general. Said differently, it's an attempt to collect all you might want to know about drawing (realistic) fur in one place. Because of this, it won't be structured like your average tutorial, which explains one thing and is satisfied with that - we'll have sections instead (which are, of course, listed in the table of contents below). Those sections will start with more basic stuff, and get more advanced throughout. The article will still be structured in a way that it can be read as one coherent text, but the sections will also work each on their own. So, if you're only interested in one of the sections, scroll down and read only that. Also, this article will focus little on technique. There are a lot of different ways to draw fur, and they will be different for the

Some about finding your own drawing style

I have come across the "style" issue quite a few times over the years, with people asking questions like "how do I find my style?" "what drawing style should I choose?" or mentioning they are "afraid of losing their style". In this shorter article I'll try to explain some about what this style really is, how it will change over time, and some about "finding" it. First of all - what is drawing style? Long story short - your drawing style is what makes people recognize your art as yours. It mostly depends on the techniques you use, what "genre" the art is in (realism, anime, semi-realism, cartoon/comic, abstract...), the mediums you use, the subjects, and the compositions. I'll use my own style as example to show it a little more in depth: "Genre" of art: Realism, so no lineart, accurate proportions, lots of highlights and shadows Mediums: Traditional drawings, mainly colored pencil on white paper, but also some black paper, some graphite and some scratchboard Typical techniques I

Here

I witness arrivals arriving, as departures take their leave, here too brief to celebrate, gone too soon to grieve, traveling to ancient Egypt, of scorching golden sand, so that 'thorns come with roses', is a quote I understand, journeying to tropical jungles, where wild greens thrive, Inspiring to live this life, Truly acting alive, voyaging to arctic icebergs, that only show their shore, much alike a body, with a soul of so much more, jet leg is slightly skeptical, of a clocks display of time, is it AM or is it PM, when it points to number nine? nevertheless- of all these places, some far and some near, somehow I don't want anywhere, more than I want here.

This Is For Elderly Or Matured Couples

This is for those older couples whom haters call "old queers": lovers, who had been boyfriends first, and had endured the bad weather, or storms, of prejudices, hatreds, snide remarks and brutal jeers; but since their first love in barefoot adolescence, they have stayed together.

Made-Up Transgressions

Eaten churches Soul-altering fetishism Human meat filling clear pipes Artistic cultists corrupting the prime species False and catastrophic accusations You press the splinters of the suffering and creative deeper into Their flesh to use their screams for music and Their blood for shitty tattoos So, take those empty urns out of the closet and donate them to The minorities you want to fucking slaughter Pluck the hypocrisy from dicks and pussies The world you want is boring as hell Get used to living near rainbows, gothic nightclubs, And film festivals that feature directors from other countries Embracing diversity will make life so much more enjoyable Those stories are cutting your kids But if that happens, that means you Have a project to work on Great for you, but terrible for them
