Hey There, You've Arrived At A Tumblr Checkpoint!

how do you go on to drawing character interactions without them looking stiff or awkward?? whenever u draw characters like hugging and stuff they always feel so warm and natural n like they have weight!

FIRST THINGS FIRST: if you want characters to feel like they have weight, they gotta have balance.

The second thing is to use references!! Use a mirror or photos when you can, but I often use duckduckgo and just google stock images. I don't use pinterest, but I suppose that works. I find it way more helpful to look at lots of images of the same pose at all different angles than to try to reference one specific image.

maidens if you are going to flee dramatically from my castle in the middle of the night once i reveal my true nature to you please leave your candelabra on the little ledge by the portcullis we are running out of them

Quick doodles! Katara is forever my favorite character, and zutara is a ship I adore.

Damn, I’m depressed now

Actually your society is the freaks for shooting everything that moves and burning half your "nature reserves" every year so that upperclass dandies can eat leaded pheasant. North Americans are the well adjusted ones here, your country has become a desolate suburban lawn in island form

Not that I need to say this on the fandom website, but my #1 advice to anyone who dreams of one day writing something - novel, screenplay, whatever - is to WRITE FANFIC.

Literally it’s a great way to teach yourself how to write in a low stakes way. Play with other people’s characters! Experiment with your writing style! It will benefit you when you start writing your own original story.
