Drawing Squirkles Around a Tree

Drawing Squirkles Around a Tree | Drawing and Painting Tutorials | Scoop.it
Even if you're an expert in botany, you'll have a hard time figuring out what kind of tree this is. The tree in this lesson doesn’t exist; rather it's a figment of my imagination. If you prefer, you can base your drawing on a more realistic tree (from life or a photo). Most beginners to drawing tend to draw only the branches that grow from the sides of the tree, without indicating those that are behind and in front of the trunk. The primary goal of this lesson is to provide learners with a strong sense of the three dimensional qualities of a tree.

This tutorial is all about understanding the three dimensional qualities of a tree. The tutorial can be used to improve your nature drawings and increase your ability to add texture, shading, and proportion to your drawing.s

Human Anatomy Fundamentals: Flexibility and Joint Limitations - Tuts+ Design & Illustration Article

Human Anatomy Fundamentals: Flexibility and Joint Limitations - Tuts+ Design & Illustration Article | Drawing and Painting Tutorials | Scoop.it

"In this last session before we start putting faces on our characters, I'll be introducing flexibility. Flexibility is the ability to stretch a joint to the limit of its range of movement, aka "how joints can and cannot move". This material gathered from my own martial art and flexibility training is not frequently covered in books on drawing the human figure, but it complements the muscles in understanding the body in motion. It's also necessary in order to articulate the body in a natural-looking way, rather than like a wooden manikin with screwed-on limbs!"

Interesting Content's insight:

Drawing the human form can be tricky especially when trying to draw someone in a flexible pose. This tutorial attempts to break down the flexible human anatomy into simple shapes and guides you can easily follow when drawing the anatomy. Enjoy!
