OH man! I found this totally sweet site to create color pallettes, so of course I have to run here and share with you guys.
Art Reference: Online Expressions Tool
There is a multitude of expressions and 21 views of each. You can slide around each picture as well as zoom in and out. It’s great for reference, especially since it’s in black and white it’s good for seeing only the values.
Here is the site.
oh COOL BEANS
CHRIST this is useful
Once I get my art back, I'm going to ask for it to be critiqued because I really want to know how to improve, please and thank you!
That’s great! We’re looking forward to seeing your future work. Hopefully people will have some good pointers and tips ready for you once you do so! Best of luck, I know you’ll do great!
Submission has been opened.
Decided to make it so that people can submit their own work. If one wants to request something to be critiqued and red lined you can do so, make sure you tag it under critique/work in progress! I hope people will take this as an advantage to improve and get input from others.
What it includes:
Michael Hampton anatomy lectures
-Raw PSD files (you can turn on and turn off certain layers to see other details below or without it.)

-PPTs that include slides from art books, Michael Angelo, Leonardo Da Vinci, and varies anatomy books by Goldfinger and other authors.
Steve Hampton: Figure Drawing: Design and Invention.
I took one of his classes back when I went to art school and he’s an incredible professor and instructor. I’d advise people to look through his studies and even buy his book. It’s not necisarilly how to draw correct anatomy but to know it while making it stylized. His class basically teaches the mechanics of the body while using imagination.
Seriously, I recommend anyone to attending one of his online workshops. It’s kind of pricey but much more affordable than what I paid. Then again I had my own benefits.
I always watch drawing processes on youtube and I like watching the Japanese ones.
It’s crazy how you can somehow identify where the artist came from by judging the way they color and draw…like, how Japanese people use all these crazy colors that don’t even make sense…look GOOD. It’s like what is color theory lolmakeseverythingwork.
I hope it doesn’t sound like I’m discriminating or…putting labels or stereotypes on drawing styles+cultures but it’s just something I’ve noticed. They have this keen eye for detail and their patience inspires me to be patient as well.
Look at that inking. WHAT. It amazes me, but ALL other parts of the video amazes me to no end, even when she starts toning. Just *-* wow…So inspiring.
Here’s another great drawing process video! I’m always so speechless and in awe whenever I watch something like this. fjaklsdjfkasghnh makes me want to get off my lazy butt and draw something great and complete…siiigh.
LET’S ALL BE MOTIVATED TO DRAW FOREVER OKAY GUYS. OKAY. BECAUSE ART IS LIFE. DON’T EVER STOP DRAWING.
