hey guys can you help me find that old portrait of a girl holding a little painting of a naked dude and cracking up about it?? I want to say it’s by Rembrandt but that’s probably not right

It’s “Smiling Girl, a Courtesan, Holding an Obscene Image” by Gerard van Honthorst!!

It’s the best painting that exists

that’s good and powerful

“Stacey.  Stacey it’s dark.  I can’t find the bathroom.”

“It’s just up the trail and to the left Karen.”

“It’s dark and there are bats. Come with me.”

“Ohmygod NO.  You’re 1205, you’re a big girl and can find it on your own.  What’s a bat going to do to you anyway?”

“They’re really scary Stacey!  Pleeeease?”

“Ugh, alright but you’re making breakfast in the morning.”

i just really love it when people take an image that is supposed to scary and then just make it not but in a good way

How I Draw Kisses

foervraengd:

Drawing two people kissing each other is hard, it’s tricky and hard and ridiculously frustrating. What I personally have the most trouble with kisses is the lips. But after practising and referencing as good as possible, I’ve found a way for me to draw that classic kiss. Or at least in profile view – if I try any other head angles I rely more on pure luck haha…

One thing that I quickly learned the first times I drew kissing characters – MAKE SURE BOTH HEADS HAVE SOMEWHAT SAME SIZE

For this little mini-tut, I’ll just shamelessly copypaste the head and flip it horizontally.

I’ve noticed that even though the other person’s nose won’t be visible in the finished picture, it’s still a good idea to sketch it out in the rough draft. Mainly to make sure you don’t screw up the characters facial structure by improsiving too much.

So this kiss is going to be the very classic “overlapping”-kind that you often see in anime. Naturally, the nose here would get a bit squished against the other one’s cheek. If you want a more realistic touch you can add this feature, but I’m just gonna ignore it and focus on the lips in this mini-tutorial.

Also note that I actually tilted the right head a little bit in order to make sure to have the “mouth areas” puzzled together. Also note that the foreheads doesn’t touch each other here.

Enough talking – more kissing!!

Okay so I recommend you to save the lips to the last – preferably on a separate layer just in case. Ink/Lineart the other things first. 

Now, most of the time when I see people drawing kisses is that they do this typical overlapping method that is commonly seen in anime. In my opinion, it looks kinda lame and unrealistic and NOT romantic or hot at all!

What you have to remember is that human skin is soft and tend to get squished when pressed at another surface, especially lips. When you kiss someone you press you lips against each other and the “hard surface” is the teeth behind our lips. This is sort of what that red line represents.

This is often how I go when I draw the lips instead. Still overlapping but pay attention to how the shape is affected.

Sometimes it looks good if you add the corners of the mouth as well, just remember to be very subtle with this.

So this is the final “picture”. Yes I redrew the face a little bit, because it looked better like this and this tutorial is 100% improvised.

A tip is to first draw the bottom lips of the partner to the right and then add the other ones.

I still have a hard time drawing kisses and I often end up having to redraw the kiss 2-3 times before I’m pleased. here’s some other examples of kisses i’ve drawn:

And lastly some kisses I have no goddamn idea how I managed to draw them but I did somehow:

so yeah hopefully this was useful for someone out there…

NOW GO DRAW YOUR OTP!!
