Advanced adulting: Have emergency provisions in your car
It’s time for a wonderful guest entry from former park ranger and all-around badass Mary, who has compiled an amazingly comprehensive list of things that can and should live in your car. Yes, you may not use them often, but nothing ups one’s confidence level like knowing you can handle everything short of the zombie apocalypse with materials already on-hand. Mary?
If you’ve been following Adulting for a while you know that Kelly has already touched on emergency preparedness when she told us all in step 57 to start putting an together an emergency kit for our houses, but we never really talking about what should be in a good emergency preparedness kit for a car.
So let’s take a look at some items to include in your car emergency kit.

I call these muscles the finger muscles. Like there’s a guy always trying to grope everyone at all times but he just can’t quite reach around your sides. /weirdwaysIremembermuscleshapes

Regarding the first image, the way I draw the hip area and legs in general is pretty exaggerated, I remove a lot of muscle and curve the bones. The left of each set is more correct if you’re aiming to be more realistic.
The second image is just how I personally stretch legs into different body types. The third is one of my most generic poses and some feet. I approach the bottoms of the feet the same way I do hands and I make toes by just overlapping the little circles. The fourth image features some attempts at different positions I don’t show as much, an area I still have to work on myself.

I’ve still yet to recover from my recent lethargy, so this was all I could think to do… but I hope this is of at least some use! Sorry! :(
This is really good to look at, thank you for posting it!
Gosh I need to practice my legs/feet so much. ;;

Tumblop: theblkmkt replied to your photo: HrmmmYour copic mastery is an...
Your copic mastery is an inspiration. What colors did you use for the skin? Man, I want more copics now.Hahah, it’s hardly mastery, as you will see when I upload the final scan!
For skin i tend to use;
R000 Cherry White for the lightest areas. It’s barely visable and blends quite nicely so you don’t end up with a sudden tidemark where you leave white areas.
E00 Skin White is the second darkest and the ‘base’ colour I use for caucasian skin. It’s very versatile and natural looking.
YR00 Powder pink is the next darkest colour. Generally that’s good for adding some subtle gradients to E00 as it’s very close, but perhaps more saturated.
R02 Flesh is after. Again it’s not too dark and easy to blend, it gives the skin a pinky, flushed tone for cheeks, nose and other places where the capillaries are close to the skins surface.
V91 Pale Grape is added last. It’s a VERY transparent pale greyish purple colour, so it’s great for adding to darker areas in order to take the edge off any redness. This works well around areas where the skin is thinner, such as the eyes.
For the lips I used YR02 Light Orange. It has a nice natural coral-y look since Rose isn’t really a make-up wearer.
I haven’t really used markers properly more than a few times so I haven’t experimented with darker skin tones. I have to say though, E33 Sand and E15 Dark Suntan are really nice dark skin colours. They have a warm hue to them which makes them look really natural.
I hope that made sense

OK SO i get asked about colors a lot and i’m really sorry i am so lame at giving detailed answers SO I’M GONNA ATTEMPT TO FORMULATE SOME„, BASIC TIPS I GUESS
LET ME JUST START OUT BY SAYING i’m not really a very skilled or fancy or formally educated artist (shocking i know) and i don’t take drawing very seriously, BUT I HOPE A FEW THINGS I HAVE SAY WILL HELP YOU(extra commentary in case anything is hard to read, here is the whole thing in one pic and not an obnoxious photoset)
1. HAVE FUN WHEN YOU ARE COLORING JEEZ don’t loose hair over trying really hard to study and adsorb shading and lighting ‘ruuuules’!! and while enough basic understanding is obviously important and necessary in creating believable and realistic pieces, being creative is also really important as well!! the bottom line of art is that there ARE no rules, and if you really do want to be happy with your work, i find a lot of satisfaction arises in knowing i made something only /I/ could make!! and besides, if i didn’t have fun making art, then i wouldn’t do it, frankly
2. PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT TONE YOUR COLORS PORTRAY this is especially true for people and expressions and setting
since color is such a big part of a piece, it also plays a big role in setting the tone of your work!! take a minute to evaluate the context of whatever you’re drawing and then try to see what colors would best parrallel that! and especially don’t be afraid to venture into palettes you don’t normally use!! but once you choose a palette that matches the tone of your work BE SURE TO STICK WITH IT so it is contiguous in both the background and foreground
(i used twilight princess and skyward sword as an example, i hope my analysis makes sense)
3. be sure to scribble with and test how colors look together BEFORE you take them to your lines!! and finally HAVE FUN WITH YOUR COLORING i know i already said this but it’s simply tragic when an artist becomes bored/uninterested/frustrated with colors ahhh!!! remember that every artist has different coloring styles so try you best to observe others’ techniques!! pay attention to what you like about them, but ALSO pay attention to what you dislike!!
practice a lot of styles, and ask around which programs/brush settings artists use if you find yourself interested in them!! i’m sorry i can’t help you with more technicalities, but learning for yourself is also half the fun!! plus i’m a lazy motherfucker and i’m bad a tutorials anyway
OKKKKAAY THANKS FOR READING OLLIE OUT
Can I like, ya know, hug this person?

Shirts!
a bit wordy but that’s just to give detail to the examples. There’s more to it when you take apart of how to make clothing believable xD
Hope it helps! C8 <3

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.
WHOA
-shoves these refs under my arm-
Had someone asking me about anatomy and stuff the other day, so hopefully they find this useful. I know I will.
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! *Saves all of it*

I have problems with drawing torsos sometimes, especially male torsos, so this is going to be helpful.
Oh wow look what’s on my dash

I was asked to draw a tutorial on making the body out of basic shapes, and I realized I used line segments for the limbs and spine…but that’s pretty basic, eh?
