A personal sideblog of art references and tutorials. I like to draw cartoons so most of the stuff on here will relate to drawing, but i'll put other stuff here too.
I made this blog so I can improve in drawing. I'm by no means an expert but i'll link you to other tutorials and try my best to answer questions you may have.
Feel free to submit something!

hello yes i do get this question often but my method has changed since last time i posted anything about it, by which i mean i don’t really have a method beyond “draw a shape for the body of the hand and then add stuff”
sometimes it is a circle and sometimes it is a square, it is not very enthralling
i drew the reference above a few months ago, it’s a few things i try to keep in mind, maybe it will help someone
also i just now drew this in like 30 seconds, my drawings are messy & i knew i was gonna be posting this so i had drawing-related performance anxiety while it was happening, but maybe it also will help someone
wait can i take a second to mention gesture and body language? you can have the most immaculately drawn hands in the world and they can still look dead and useless unless you really think about what your figure is doing/trying to convey
check out this thing i drew like a long dang time ago: the hands, they are not well drawn. they are sort of claw-like doodle hand wannabes, it’s nasty. but shit who cares, they are adding to the story, not just hanging there like weird turnips taped to wrists. i just want to say that gesture is sort of more important than cool stylish style ok good night
Just some references, add your own
*How To Draw Fabric Folds/Creases
I got asked about eyes and how to convey expression through them, so I doodles some quick stuffs to help explain.
So have some eyeballs.

Some building block references my Life Drawing teacher drew up for us for our Figure Drawing class. Thought I would impart the wisdom.
FEETS
Hey guys!! someone asked for feet, so here ya go.
To be honest though, I think the best advice for stuff like feet/hands is to literally just sit down and draw your own any chance you get. Seeing it move in space was super helpful for me.
