Lessons 2 and 2.2 for the Fantastic Anatomy! Video Drawing Tutorial Series

Hey guys, thanks for the support on the first video! I really appreciate and feel inspired by every “like” ya’ll generously give. If you missed the first lesson, here’s the link: http://wp.me/p3bWaE-5d

In Lesson #2 I go into details about drawing the skull, and some of the muscles of the face and how they relate to the skull and help you with drawing faces. Check it out:

Then in Lesson #2.2 I give some super basic tips about Photoshop CS6 and coloring therein (I’m really a beginner at that, but have done a lot of graphic design work in photoshop)–Not my most successful artwork, but (like I say in the video) it’s OK to SUCK sometimes!! 🙂 ESPECIALLY when you’re learning. My hope is that if I’m not afraid to suck in front of the whole YouTube community, you guys wont be afraid to suck when you’re practicing in your sketchbook (something that I’ve definitely been guilty of). I also talk a little bit about value contrast and color contrast. I hope you guys can learn something from it:

Peace, God bless, and Stay Fantastic Everyone!

How to Draw Fantasy Skulls and Faces (Video Lesson)

Hey there ladies and gentlemen! I know it’s been forever since I posted drawing lessons for Fantastic Anatomy! but here’s something brand new you can sink your teeth into! 🙂

The idea behind learning anatomy the Fantastic Anatomy! way is to learn how the bones, muscles, and skin relate to each other WITHOUT worrying about proportion in the beginning.

This lets you get a lot more creative and have FUN while still improving your ability to draw anatomy!

This lesson is done on Photoshop CS6, but can be followed along with any medium, including paper and pencil (which is what I actually prefer). It’s perfect for beginning and intermediate artists or just anybody who wants to have fun drawing and making up cool characters. It lends itself especially well to fantasy drawing, and well as sci-fi drawing, and drawing characters for D&D (Dungeons and Dragons) or any other tabletop RPG. (Elves, Dwarves, Aliens, Monsters, Orcs, etc.)

Enjoy and feel free to post links to any drawings you make using this method 😀

Peace, God bless, and Stay Fantastic Everyone!!
