Anonymous sent: aah you're really good at drawing and i was kinda wondering... Uhm, how do you draw profiles exactly? Like, someone facing to the side. It's a big problem spot for me and maybe you could help?

No problem kind anon
First thing’s first, you have to specify whether it’s a human, or an animal.

If it’s an animal, I HIGHLY suggest, ESPECIALLY IF IT IS YOUR FIRST TIME DRAWING THIS ANIMAL, that you get a reference photo. I mean it. A wolf and a fox may have similar skeletal structure when it comes to the head, but they DO NOT look exactly the same in the face, whether it be up front or in profile.

If you wing it, you have the issue of it being anatomically incorrect. This can lead to slight confusion as to what it is, to completely throwing off what species it is. You’re not going to draw a pug and give it a german shepherd dog’s face, are you?

If it’s a human, this comes a bit easier. I got how i draw profiles through trial and error, but mostly from

hang on, this may sound insane,

STARING AT PEOPLE.

I mean it. People are the best references. Bored in class? Observe some students nearby you. Does the person have an unfortunate underbite that makes them look like bubba gump? Do they have a massive schnoz that could shelter forest critters? What about their lips? Are they full, thin, a mix, a mismatch? And foreheads/hairlines! Is the forehead obscured by bangs or fringe? If bare, is it smooth, curved, does it jut out? If so, just a tad, or do they look like a neanderthal? What about jawlines and jawbones? Ears? Do they have a double chin? Triple? Benedict Cumberbatch?

I can go on forever.

There’s so much you can learn from just people watching.
so
fucking
much

See? A quick sketch of a profile, compared to my own face. It generally looks okay by comparison, everything seems to be in the right place.

(I look like i have an underbite in the picture, but that’s because i’m sticking out my bottom jaw. i have rubber bands in for my braces and that makes it a little less sore. I actually have a MASSIVEJOHNEGBERTWORTHY overbite)

But you can spice up the profile by adding some details. For example, via tracing my nose, it goes down a bit and has a slight crook:

And you are, by no means, limited by style. If you’re going for a less realistic, and more stylized look, GO RIGHT A FUCKING HEAD

blah blah i should go to bed and work on stuff i’m spacing out and i forgot where i was going with this

does that help?

fyeahbadhomestuckart sent: Of course they do, you precious babbu! Shooooosh and let the compliments come over you, let it happen! shooooooooosh shooooooooooooooooooooosh shooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosh pap pap pap

juggadouche sent: Oh, no sugarpoop, I just like to speak using an extensive vocabulary! This will teach our children, Majora and John, that speaking formaly will make you sound intelligent! Ooh, what's for supper, tubbylub? Honeybunny? Sweetypeety? Poottoot? Moco de azucar? Mi bizcocho? El hongo a mis pies? El café a mi arepa?

Sabes que los niños serán muy inteligentes porque hablamos en español y ingles. Pero no puedo decir nada sobre sus caras porque John tiene los peores dientes y Majora lleva una máscara todo el tiempo.

Tonight we’ll be having soup.

yourheadinthecurtains sent: i think i sent one already but fuck it i'm home

i told you not to swear in front of the kids, sugarplum

go wash out your mouth with soap. and while you’re at it, wash out our daughter’s mouth, she said OTP. We can’t have any of that shipping getting to her head.

sporkly-deactivated20120706 sent: jojo are you ok? ;-; I'm worried about you cuz you're gonna draw vent art.

It’s not so much going to be “vent art” as it is

“wow i’m stressed and a lot of fun events happened in the period of 48 hours I MUST DRAW THEM” art.

juggadouche sent: Honey, I have arrived at the residental area that we both reside in!

Honey, I told you not to be so formal! Go wash up, and supper will be ready before sundown, dear. The children are outside playing with the neighborhood kids and will be back before you know it.

g3twrecked sent: Honey I'm home!

hello my darling husband, I made you pornographic images of our ‘sonas together, since i’ve been lacking in the sexual department.
