Futurism was an art movement where dudes were all 'CARS ARE COOL AND THE PAST IS FOR CHUMPS. LET'S DRAW SOME CARS.'
Who's to even say that demons conform to our sexual dichotomy?

Demons do not think much about our aesthetics to begin with. Just draw one gargantuan beast with boils and hair all over. THEN you put the bikini armour on them.

i desire to see this now, just the teeniest little bikini on a wallowing horned siege beast

Mind you if I could do a monthly theme on the daily doodles thread, demons & swimwear would be one hell of a month.

EDITED TO ADD:

lol did anyone actually think I wasn't gonna draw this the first chance I get, it's in the daily doodles thread 'cause I dunno if I should poo poo it all up in here with extreme NSFW

I've sold smaller pieces before, but today I sold my first 'big' painting, inspired by The Invisible Man, and I have digital copies ready to go to print for early next year.

It's an exciting day.

My go-to solution is claw feet. No need for shoes.

Also a surprising amount of people just loving loving to go barefoot.

Actual feet seem a lot tougher to draw than boots.

Actual feet are a lot more fun to draw though.

Confession time: I can't draw pockets so all my characters always have their hands out in full visibility all the time, no one is ever hiding their hands and it's very unnatural. it's really holding my art back to be honest.

same, but mine walk around with one hand behind their head and the other hand resting on their own rear end at all times so you can't see them, except when i have to draw them from the back, in which case they're usually covering their faces as they weep

no way man, feet have all the little parts that are there so it's easier to place everything, whereas boots are like one continuous shape. it's like drawing an old wwii warplane vs modern blended wing body bs

Always have your character kicking at the viewer so all you need to draw is the bottom of the shoe with all the tiny treads so you have tiny things to draw.

anyone else magically forget what anything is supposed to look like when they start drawing? :eng99:

This is likely because our brains are efficiency machines. We love patterns and iconography and symbols. I reckon that to memorize the complete data about any given object is much more resource intensive than memorizing a small list of earmark details and putting them away for later. When we see an object we just compare the reality to our shortcut list and find a match, and all of that actual data is there in real life for us to reference. Drawing produces the opposite task: produce all of that actual data yourself and THEN determine if it matches the shortcut data in our head and we're just not used to taking in or producing data in that way.

Edit: the short version is that you never actually learned what stuff actually looked like in the first place.

True true
It just bugs me that, when seeing a drawing of, for example, a cello, I'd be able to instantly recognize when the shape is slightly off, but can't pull on that same precision when drawing one unless copying pretty closely from reference...

mutata
Mar 1, 2003

Well, the precision (as I'm sure you know) is in the recognizing, not in the moving of the hand. You've been practicing seeing all waking hours of your entire life, but you only practice drawing x minutes of the day etc. If you had been training your hands as long as you've been training your eyes you WOULD have that precision. :)

Also, as a result of 2D print and digital media we're all experts on translating a 2D image on paper/screen to 3D in our brains but NO ONE but artists have to learn how to do the opposite: translate a 3D irl object into 2D on a page.

In many ways as an artist you are wiring your brain to work in reverse!

Yet there's something quite satisfying about finding a file called "whatevr" or "uglyomg" and finding out what treasures hide within.

Edited to add: if there's a filename with a word that's correctly spelled, that's completely by accident.

This could be a drawing meme. Look at old filenames, don't open any, and draw what you think is inside when one catches your eye. Then compare.
