I got people curious as to how I draw orc/tusked mouths and so I decided to sketch a few – a special wink to varekk!

Also, the bottom is a quick “how to” my orc mouths? So yeah here it goes:

  1. outline of the mouth; I often use mirrors or a good reference
  2. TEETH, no details yet just outline where the teeth are going to “rest on”
  3. Tusks, since they’re what takes up the most space; gotta know where they’re gonna show
  4. Lower lip is divided into two sets of lateral commisures (sides of the mouth) shown as small spheres that “wrap” around the two lower canines. The line in the middle helps me know where the lower lip will meet
  5. Upper lip and join commisures to the mouth
  6. Details and stress lines and stuff

Hope it helps!

Hey artists, C. Spike Trotman, founder of Iron Circus Comics, just posted an invaluable thread on depicting different types of black hair. I’d do the thing where you screencap the whole thread and post it but it’s just too long (which is great because it’s a whole lot of useful information!) Give her a follow while you’re there.

Anyway, go check it out. I just wanted to save it and share it because I didn’t know how much I didn’t know!

NOTE: one type of fold will rarely appear on its own – they interact with each other quite a bit! for example, spiral folds might define the outline of a pant leg, while the interior folds might be zig-zag folds.

i’m trying to re-learn how to draw clothing, so i made this little guide to the most common shapes of folds that appear. hope it helps someone else too!

Oh my god this is great
