This is what I do when I’m bored, mess with liquid latex and makeup.

I didn’t spend as long on this as I did my original wounds, maybe overall this took me twenty minutes compared to the two hours I spent on the others. Still, it was fun.

Skintones

A quick little thing that ended up being neither quick nor little, for an anon who asked how I do skin colors.

As usual, I’m not a professional, this is just how I do things. Hope I answered your question!

Updated List of Books Every Learning Artist Should Have

amazinglyartisticadvice:

-Burne Hogarth’s Dynamic Anatomy

-Betty Edwards’ Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain

-Jack Hamm’s Drawing the Head and Figure

-James Gurney’s Color and Light

-Betty Edwards’ Color

These are pretty much the best for the basics.

Type them into Amazon and I guarantee you’ll find something.

Also: I can now say from experience that The Animator’s Survival Kit is very good.

And, um. Steer clear of “how to draw” books like the Chris Hart series, because frankly it just seems to teach young artists lazy cliches rather than having very much useful information in it. The books above have all of the few handy tidbits Hart drops and then some. Not trying to diss him as a person or anything but I’ve flipped through his books before and they’re less helpful than, say, “Neondragon” Pfeffer’s stuff, which I have a habit of buying for my sister because she likes to trace the pictures and color them. Good luck!
