Gamehero14 Draws Abs

Now, these aren’t abs, I admit. However, I drew this for SoifonFan74473727720’s Art thread (go check it out, btw), and I think it might be helpful for to the other artists here. Basically, it’s a brief go-over on how to draw breasts, and how clothing and gravity affect them.


(Hm, maybe I should make a how-to-draw-abs guide…)

OKAY, SO I UP AND DREW ABS (actually, entire torsos) FOR YA’LL NERDS TO LEARN. Depicted are several common mistakes when drawing bodies. Keep in mind that I have the luxury of using a symmetry tool, as these two are facing forwards, and thus I’m basically doing it on easy mode. Mistakes will happen for everyone, just keep the following in mind when drawing semi-realistic human anatomy.

The red lines represent muscles, whereas the faded blue ones show structure. I’d advise building up the basic structure of your characters first, before adding muscle.


Gee, I wonder what two Arcane Odyssey characters are depicted here

What Should I Do Next?
  • Variations of abs
  • How to draw chonkiness (not my specialty, but I’ll try)
  • Drawing weapons
  • Dame Caesennia. Just Dame Caesennia
  • Edward Kenton. Just Edward Kenton
  • Lightning Magic

Alright, first here’s a how-to for lightning, as I figured that’d be easier than drawing the two sexiest characters in the game. Next I’ll do weapon basics.


Keep in mind this is for regular lightning. Lost magics and the like should probably be a bit more detailed. Not that we’ll have those anytime soon, but still.

HE’S SINGLE-HANDEDLY TEACHING US HOW TO DRAW!!!

(appreciate that, btw :+1: )

But of course I am.

If I had seen this first instead taking a few hours trying to draw lightning on my last art post… :joy:

An alternative way you can do the final step is copying the lightning layer you already drew, recolor the lightning layer underneath, set it to Add, then set to Gaussian Blur. If not bright enough, just double this layer again and merge the two.

Airbrush is good too tho who dont wanna be bothered with the mechanics of digital art (I prefer the other due to glow consistency)

I’ll have to try this at some point, thank you.

Okay, basic weapons guide. I admit I don’t draw these often, and my advise is fairly limited. The big thing is to always use a line to indicate the direction the weapon is pointing. For this, use the ruler tool, don’t rely on guesswork. You’d be surprised how often artists fail to make the weapon’s blade or shaft align with the handle.

Also, draw the hand, as all weapons are made for it, it’s useful to ensure the weapon’s proportions line up in a way that ensures the weapon could actually be used.

Also everyone, I am getting started on drawing Dame Caesennia.

Sorry Ghostly, but Edward maybe will come later.

PROJECT MOON FANS RISE UP !!!

Huh???

I’m gonna level with you: I have no idea who that is. If I happened to say something similar to a quote from this character, it is by sheer coincidence.

studying this thread as if i was cramming for a quiz on it the next day :writing_hand::writing_hand::writing_hand:

Your exam will be drawing a ripped Lightning Conjourer woman with historically accurate weapons and perfect anatomy.

Good luck😇

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO DO THIS WITH ONLY MY PHONE

time to go traditional ig,

Oh yeah, and like all standardized tests, you must use a wooden number 2 pencil. And only that.

ur killing me here man

(might actually do this tbh sounds like good practice)

Go for it!

I’ll be gathering all the artists of the forum to grade it.

Guys, I just did this for my most recent WIP, and it works WAAAAYYYY better. Do this, listen to Pink. This method is faster, easier, and looks better.
