Description i did an informal demo at UTS yesterday and came up with these cheat sheets!

1. (ft. taako, you know, from tv) how to quickly add some visual interest to an illo that you feel is otherwise “missing something” – a dynamic pose helps, but so do flecks/dots, hatching, and flyaways in the hair. any little detail that creates irregular shapes of varying size will please the eye and just help to lift up an illustration.

2. paws make a good guideline for hands! this is not that useful when doing studies or closeups of hands, but i’ve found it works well when i’m posing a character (especially a cartoony or stylized one) and just don’t know what to do with their hands.

if you don’t know how to draw, you best get good at faking it
