Drawing tips #2

Been a while since i posted something here. I've been busy on my new Instagram page, which you should check out.

Anyway, let's continue with some more small drawing tips.
Most people would usually want to draw their pets, usually as a way of saying they love them ( i hope), and one of the more common ones are dogs. When drawing one, it depends on what dog it is. For now, we're use a simple model. Use basic circles and ovals, followed by some lines to connect the paws, and add the smaller details in the end.
Another thing people usually like to draw are their family members. Since we covered the basic structures of a male and female, infants are next on that list. Use two small circles, then small ovals and circles for feet, hands, fingers, and toes. And finally , the smaller details.
I think now is a good time to point out that when doing this, do the basic circle sketches with pencils, mainly ones with soft leads so you can erase later, and redraw the final drawing, details and all with some sharpie pens. The good ones.
Finally, we should end this post with a small extra. When animating lip movement, you should examine how people would move their mouths when talking. Always use your own by looking at a mirror to study. Don't be a creep like i used to be and check lip movements from others. That's how you lose viewership. Like me. Practice basic one letter words to start off before using more longer words. Words with two letters. That's hardcore work right there.
