How The Face Changes With Shifting A Light Source
A couple people asked me how I vary my leaves and trees and honestly, it’s super easy! I’ve never made a tutorial/guide before so I kept this mega simple but I hope someone out there might find it useful at least!
Also, anyone can download the brushes I use for all my art on my tumblr page (: I only use around 5 so go nuts hah
Made a pattern for a project, thought I’d recolor and share it. Feel free to use for personal projects (with credit). ˇ◡ˇ

Click on the picture to head on over to the article “Avoiding Tangents: 9 Visual Blunders Every Artist Should Watch Out For” for some great, detailed help on composition!
It offers a much more thorough description than the picture above and many more examples, so please click the link and check it out!

WHY DOESN’T IT TELL PEOPLE ABOUT THIS THIS IS LIFE-CHANGING
Wat.
Hey dudes, the download link for PaintTool SAI broke but I hosted it elsewhere & updated the link so it should be working again! This version is a lil bit different from the original that I have/had uploaded but it still has .png transparency support which is the most important.
Ummm I think the place where I’ve hosted it only has limited bandwith (which probably means it’ll break after x amount of downloads) - does anyone have any other suggestions for where to host files? Not mediafire since that was where it was hosted previously & they took it down hahaha.
