The Brushes (Tutorial Part 2)
Hard Round 25 Fading
Take your normal hard brush, make it 25px large. Now go to the Brushes menu and click “Other Dynamics”, and set the Flow jitter to Pen Pressure in the drop down menu.Hard Round 5 pixels
This is your basic, default hard brush when you load up Photoshop with the regular brushes it should be right at the top… no need to change it!Airbrush Detail
Load up default Photoshop brushes and scroll down til you see the soft brushes—- pick one that is at least 60px large. Open the Brushes menu and click “Shape Dynamics” and set it to Pen Pressure, then click “Other Dynamics” and have the Opacity and Flow jitters set to Pen Pressure as well.Tips For Custom Sullivan Fur Brushes
- these are easiest to use when highlighting, try picking a color that is lighter than the area you are drawing on.
- the brushes are pressure sensitive, so you’ll want to use these with a tablet. try drawing lightly for softer fur, and push harder for more tufty fur.
- just scribbling one of these over your drawing will make it look dumb, trust me. try layering the different brushes, or going over with your own brushes to add in your own details for a more realistic look.
- try playing around in the Brushes menu… color effects can look really neat with these, see what works for you :]
Rules
- you may NOT attempt to resell or redistribute these brushes; if you want to share these brushes with others just link back to the original deviantART post.
- please give credit when you use these! i’m not normally fussy about giving credit, but i worked hard on these so it would be appreciated.
Anatomical Reference for the Artist
I’m Lydia, and I started this blog hoping to help other artists, hobby or professional, to broaden their understanding of both human and animal anatomy. I reblog helpful posts floating around Tumblr that get lost in the noise of our dashboards and likes.

So apparently DA doesn’t have any packs of expressions in profile.
So I made some!
Hooray!
Head on over to This Awesome Link to read my rules and download.
Hey, so this is pretty popular, but I accidentally posted it on the wrong blog. My stock blog is here. More reference, more fun!

Don’t Throw Away Your Markers
“This is just a quick and simple tip for artists who use markers to color their work. Refilling your own markers can save you money, and it’s easy to do.”
Absolutely fantastic. Anyone who can’t afford Copics and are stuck with Prismacolor like me, you should definitely watch this.

Tutorial: Hands while kissing - by Auroracarina-Chan on DeviantArt
Since the tutorial is marked as “mature”, you cannot use the share-function to post it all on tumblr (srsly, I understand why ppl don’t wanna mark their work as mature… it limit your work to be seen a bit too much in some cases).
The reason why this tutorial is marked as mature is… I THINK it’s because you see some nipples, but it’s a ridiculous reason to make it unable to post on tumblr (dA has a share function where you can post art from dA with proper source and everything.)
Anyway, I took some screenshots from the tutorial, so you guys can see it without having to be a member on dA.
And here’s a screenshot that couldn’t get into the photoset:
A little NSFW but cool!

I’m always leaving out feet because I really suck at drawing feet and shoes… So here some studies.
Some motion studies from my sketchbook! I used videos as references.
Maybe this can be useful to somebody?
