omg i would be the worst dragon in the world I wouldn’t have any cool spikes or anything just a mug of coffee and a lot of stress
Huh, I expected you to look more like this:
So yeah, you got an upgraded lizard. :3
But I think you drank all of the coffee.
YOOO!! That is definitely an upgrade.
I tried to make a happy medium between “worst dragon in the world” and “upgraded lizard“ and ended up with “thoroughly mediocre dragon that is basically just an insomniac swamp opossum”.
“insomniac swamp opossum” MIGHT be the most accurate description of me ever thank you <3
I'm really struggling with figuring out mirror heads!! How do you draw them? Do got tips? (Luv Rin. Rin is good. Will doddle one day)
Sure! I am Not Great at tutorial stuff but this is pretty much how I handle heads, I hope this makes sense ;O;
I prefer to work out a simple base shape before anything - in Rin’s case her head is kind of teardrop-shaped.
So from the top she’s pretty much a teardrop, and from the side she looks like a pointy dog snake. Don’t forget the pivot point where the jaw opens, that will help you a lot with expressions and structure:
I still struggle with angles and 3D-ness in general, but that stuff always gets better with practice. If I want to get a bit more detailed and snarly then I still work from that basic teardrop head, sort of carving away at the mouth area. I think of the face as a wrapping around the skull. Pulling back the lips will scrunch up the face, and reveal more teeth and gum.
I tend to add horns/fins afterwards. Oh and of course you can play with all kinds of face shapes :0
As always I’d suggest looking at animals for reference if you’re having trouble. Dogs, lizards, dinosaurs, whatever you’re feeling - skulls can be particularly useful to look at. :]
