norisus:

I said that I’d show some tutorials I have saved up to someone, but decided that I’d just go ahead and post most of what I have stored away and create a sort of masterpost out of it. (I figure it’ll help me just as much since, as of now, they’re all pretty scattered between my Tumblr and bookmarks)

A lot of these are hosted on my personal Tumblr, but I don’t change my url so it’s pretty safe to bookmark them there (and not have to worry about the url changing) if you don’t wish to reblog them yourself for whatever reason.

I’m posting this since a lot of people don’t source images. It may be because they don’t know the source, or they’re just rude, but either way artists deserve to be credited when their art is posted on other websites.

If you want to post a picture, but don’t know the source, SauceNao has a source-finding tool that allows you to right-click a picture and choose from 4 different websites in order to find the original source: SauceNao, IQBD, TinEye, and Google.

For anime-related images, and Pixiv/Drawr images, SauceNao and IQDB seem to be the most reliable. After that, Google, however it will give you results other than the original post of the image, so you’re going to have to use common sense. TinEye is the least reliable, and should really only be used if the other three don’t work. It almost never works for me, however. It’s better for real images.

There are also some places you should never source to, unless you absolutely cannot find the original source. These include:

• Zerochan
• Gelbooru
• Sankaku Channel
• Danbooru
• ShuuShuu
• AND weheartit

These are sites where people who are usually not the original artist upload pictures. However, sometimes the pictures uploaded to these sites will have a link to the original artist’s page, so look for that.

There’s really no excuse for not sourcing something. People put serious time and effort into the things they draw, and I’m sure they’d find it hurtful to see something of theirs posted without credit. If you see someone post something without credit, you should reblog it and add the proper credit, which you can probably find by using this tool. It may make you look like an asshole, but it’s the right thing to do.

everyone that follows me, please take a good long hard look at this post

fucking live by this shit ok

i am so sick of seeing unsourced art all over my dash

CREDIT IS SO IMPORTANT I CAN’T EVEN. Seriously I can’t express how much it bothers me when I see uncredited work ANYWHERE, but it really hurts me when I see it on tumblr.

I feel like there is so excuse to have uncredited work on sites anymore. It’s up to us to make a difference :C every time we post or even just reblog uncredited work, we contribute to this epidemic of undervalued work that completely alienates the creator for the work. CREDIT IS IMPORTANT.

kowareta:

ArtsyPoses - Relatively new, but very cool. The 30 second drawing tool seems to be glitching a little but that could be my computer being a dumb. Lots of unique poses and they’re looking to expand to other body types (if you read the FAQ they even said there are too many fit models).

PoseManiacs - Everybody knows this one! Great poses, you can interact with them (rotation, etc) and has a very cool 30 second drawing tool. Also I belieeeve this is available on iOS.

Pixelovey - Another fantastic drawing tool - I prefer it over PoseManiacs’ but I can NEVER FIND THE LINK :( Lots of options here, too.

CedarSeed - The drawings here aren’t great but there is so much information here.

Color Is Value - Handy coloring tips and things!

Ctrl+Paint - So many digital painting tutorials. SO MANY. Ridiculously helpful in everything ever, and constantly updated.

The Angry Animator - Because come on, all sorts of handy animation tips. I linked directly to the walk cycle because I found it to be most useful but there are other things floatin’ around there if that’s your thing~

Constructing the Head/Face - Done by Stanislav Prokopenko, an instructor. Also really seems to know what he’s talking about. Saving images off of Tumblr seems to be hit-or-miss so keep this link handy as it may not save correctly.

Drawing Muscles - Some of you may remember this from all of James Phegan’s classes ever! Super handy, and this is a printable version of the giant jpg he used to e-mail us.

Drawing more Muscles - The same artist; she’s really damn good at drawing beefy dudes.

Drawing People in Perspective

Nude models and drapery

Nude models in all sorts of poses

Clothing Styles

Amazing hands

Coelasquid’s “manbucket”

Haaands

HAAANDS

Color Scheme Designer - Allows you to quickly and easily create specific color schemes for a wide variety of purposes! If you’re like me and terrible with color, this will help.
