Our feature artist/tutorial for today is this comparison between CHILD and ADULT skulls, by the talented @kato_anatomy! Note in particular how the features are in the LOWER HALF of the head in early development, but are in the LOWER TWO THIRDS in adult life, as the jaw grows.

Our feature artist/tutorial for today is this beautiful animation on EYE ANGLES, by the talented @simodasketch! Note in particular how the IRIS is shown here as a CONCAVE BOWL with the PUPIL set at the centre, and the CORNEA is a transparent dome over both. #anime #manga #drawing

Our feature artist/tutorial today is this beautiful page on HUGS, by the talented @miyuliart! Such a good example of how even in a seemingly static pose there are always TINY adjustments to GESTURE, INTERACTION and POSTURE which add SO much more EMOTION and STORY! #anime #manga

Our feature artist/ref today is on FORESHORTENING ARMS by @ruchikapose! The MID-POINT of the arm ( here marked with WHITE bands) SHIFTS BACK VISUALLY when foreshortening - combined with the OVERLAP caused by the WIDTH of the upper forearm, we see VERY LITTLE of the UPPER ARM!
