If you’re someone who has a more stylized or cartoon way of drawing, this probably isn’t the tutorial you’d want.Īnon, I totally get it. This is also done in my own style, which I’m not saying is the end all be all on how to draw! I tend to go for a semi-realistic rendering when I paint and is my personal process. Most of the skills I’ve picked up I’ve watched from youtube tutorials or ones artists have posted online (which I’m thankful for!) so I don’t know proper terminology. And also just because it’ll get long.Īnd disclaimer: I am self-taught. no worries if you don't wish to speak on this topic though!! thanks ♥”īefore all else: Content warning for scars and possible body horror warning, so I’m putting the tutorial under a read more. My streams: Backseat Drawing on YouTube: You can also join my art community on Discord: discord.gg/tsaoshinĪ: Adobe Photoshop CC and a Wacom Cintiq Pro 24.Anonymous said, “hi!! I was wondering if you had any tips for painting/coloring scars/bruises/injuries on darker skin tones? as an artist who draws a lot of characters who are warriors/battle a lot, that sort of thing crops up frequently, and though I usually reference images of real life, I feel deeply uncomfortable searching for those sorts of references online especially due to racial violence. When I cycle work, it keeps my interest up and I see my mistakes better if I come back to a drawing after I give it some time.Ī: I'm actually a twitch partner and I run an art show on YouTube called Backseat Drawing! I find that if I'm focusing too long on a single piece, I begin to fatigue on it. I also tend to rotate several works at once so I'm keeping fresh eyes on each of them. Smaller and more sketchy drawings take around 1-4 hours.

For my larger more complicated drawings, it takes anywhere between 6-20 hours. How long I spend on a drawing really depends on the complexity. How long does it take you to make a drawing? The drawings you see in my gallery are the illustrations that I do at home and for fun. The nature of our work is sensitive so I can't speak publicly about it.


I'm a conceptual illustrator for a research laboratory. Are you a professional artist? Where do you work? This is why you'll see a lot of exposed brush strokes in my work. I try to carry over my traditional painting background into how I compose my digital paintings. I majored in Studio Art as a traditional painter but quickly jumped into digital painting platforms shortly after graduation. I've been doodling since I was a kid but I didn't get serious about drawing until I was in college. When did you start drawing? How did you learn to draw?
