I take drawing requests,

It'll probably be something simple though. I very rarely render even on my own stuff

Tags I use:

#The fish speaks – ramble tag, not much other than vaguely relevant rants

#The fish writes – for fics and ideas, only ideas for now but that may change in the future. If an idea tickles your fancy and you wanna try writing it, just message or tag me! I'd love to read it

#The fish draws – for art and fanart, I'm pretty sure I share that tag with someone else but unless they ask me to change it, I'd prefer to keep it

This is an alt account btw! You may not realize it, but we could already be moots. If it seems I never like anyone else's post, it's because Tumblr doesn't let you follow and like stuff with your other blogs.

Can't afford art school?

After seeing post like this 👇

And this gem 👇

As well as countless of others from the AI generator community. Just talking about how "inaccessible art" is, I decided why not show how wrong these guys are while also helping anyone who actually wants to learn.

Here is the first one ART TEACHERS! There are plenty online and in places like youtube.

📺Here is my list:

  1. Proko (Free)
  2. Marc Brunet (Free but he does have other classes for a cheap price. Use to work for Blizzard)
  3. Aaron Rutten (free)
  4. BoroCG (free)
  5. Jesse J. Jones (free, talks about animating)
  6. Jesus Conde (free)
  7. Mohammed Agbadi (free, he gives some advice in some videos and talks about art)
  8. Ross Draws (free, he does have other classes for a good price)
  9. SamDoesArts (free, gives good advice and critiques)
  10. Drawfee Show (free, they do give some good advice and great inspiration)
  11. The Art of Aaron Blaise ( useful tips for digital art and animation. Was an animator for Disney)
  12. Bobby Chiu ( useful tips and interviews with artist who are in the industry or making a living as artist)

Second part BOOKS, I have collected some books that have helped me and might help others.

📚Here is my list:

  1. The "how to draw manga" series produced by Graphic-sha. These are for manga artist but they give great advice and information.
  2. "Creating characters with personality" by Tom Bancroft. A great book that can help not just people who draw cartoons but also realistic ones. As it helps you with facial ques and how to make a character interesting.
  3. "Albinus on anatomy" by Robert Beverly Hale and Terence Coyle. Great book to help someone learn basic anatomy.
  4. "Artistic Anatomy" by Dr. Paul Richer and Robert Beverly Hale. A good book if you want to go further in-depth with anatomy.
  5. "Directing the story" by Francis Glebas. A good book if you want to Story board or make comics.
  6. "Animal Anatomy for Artists" by Eliot Goldfinger. A good book for if you want to draw animals or creatures.
  7. "Constructive Anatomy: with almost 500 illustrations" by George B. Bridgman. A great book to help you block out shadows in your figures and see them in a more 3 diamantine way.
  8. "Dynamic Anatomy: Revised and expand" by Burne Hogarth. A book that shows how to block out shapes and easily understand what you are looking out. When it comes to human subjects.
  9. "An Atlas of animal anatomy for artist" by W. Ellenberger and H. Dittrich and H. Baum. This is another good one for people who want to draw animals or creatures.
  10. Etherington Brothers, they make books and have a free blog with art tips.

As for Supplies, I recommend starting out cheap, buying Pencils and art paper at dollar tree or 5 below. For digital art, I recommend not starting with a screen art drawing tablet as they are more expensive.

For the Best art Tablet I recommend either Xp-pen, Bamboo or Huion. Some can range from about 40$ to the thousands.

💻As for art programs here is a list of Free to pay.

  1. Clip Studio paint ( you can choose to pay once or sub and get updates)
  2. Procreate ( pay once for $9.99)
  3. Blender (for 3D modules/sculpting, ect Free)
  4. PaintTool SAI (pay but has a 31 day free trail)
  5. Krita (Free)
  6. mypaint (free)
  7. FireAlpaca (free)
  8. Libresprite (free, for pixel art)

Those are the ones I can recall.

So do with this information as you will but as you can tell there are ways to learn how to become an artist, without breaking the bank. The only thing that might be stopping YOU from using any of these things, is YOU.

I have made time to learn to draw and many artist have too. Either in-between working two jobs or taking care of your family and a job or regular school and chores. YOU just have to take the time or use some time management, it really doesn't take long to practice for like an hour or less. YOU also don't have to do it every day, just once or three times a week is fine.

Hope this was helpful and have a great day.

cant let a post like this pass me by without mentioning the website line of action!

drawing from life, I.E., figure drawing (and still lifes), is a great way to better understand the human body and proportions and such, but a lot of people don't exactly have access to nude models and figure drawing sessions. this is a pretty great alternative! the site also features animals, still lifes, scenery, mock-classes with timed exercises, and an option to not see nude models for anyone uncomfortable with nudity or who may be doing art in a shared space where you don't need your pal to glance over and see boobs or peen on your screen. 10/10 do recommend, I use it a lot!

I also really recommend the Morpho books for anatomy references! particularly the Fat and Skin Folds book is legendary.
