Small photo study to get back into drawing. Had to skip a few days due to hand pain.

I don’t know much about Warhammer, but I thought it’d be fun to learn drawing a new creature, so here’s some skaven.

Take these studies with a grain of salt, because I do make a lot of errors (hence why I keep doing more), but I'm really glad if you find it useful! :)

It’s based on this photo I grabbed off of Pinterest. As you can see the face is not very I accurate, I was more focused on the pose.

Sucking in your stomach so deep looks uncomfortable to me, but it's a fairly popular pose/exercise, so it's clearly not the case.

Small shading practice thing. This pose always looked painful to me, but it should be very safe when performed correctly.

Meant to be a quick warmup thing, but I got carried away.

I’m starting to really enjoy doodling, getting less reliant on reference too. Now if only I could incorporate shading into the process.

I've been told he's like an arms dealer or something, but I can see where you're coming from.

Can't promise a full blown tutorial, but I'll definitely do some studies/breakdowns for feline head shapes soon!

Monthly attempt to put the studies to use and doodle something without reference. You can always tell by the fuzzy lines.

Maybe I should've put a disclaimer on the original post. There's no "correct" way to draw moos, it's just an observation from someone who seeks realism. Lot of people prefer the anatomically incorrect one, and that's totally fine, too! Stylization is a thing, but in my case it was not the intention.

Thank you so much! :)

In my eyes yes, but surprisingly a lot people prefer the one the left. My guess is because it's a bit more canine looking with the flat elongated head.

I use basic Procreate brushes, mostly Huntsman. Honestly, digital brushes are so good these days that it's surprisngly easy to make it look traditional as long as you draw in a traditional way and don't touch most of the other tools.

Apearently it's a common mistake, haha! Reassuring to know, ngl. Also I looove seeing old Cypress art, your commitment to perfect his design is so inspirational!

Consistent error I noticed in the way I draw bovine heads is that I flatten the forehead and tuck the horns behind the ears, so here’s a little note to myself.

New goal is to always put some shading on my sketches. I need that practice badly.

I saw a study on Pinterest likening the deltoid to a crab and, yeah, that makes total sense to me for some reason.

I'm afraid I'm not quite there yet, but I appreciate the compliment! I started almost 4 years ago, mostly by reading books and copying photos.

Drawing backs is really not easy, but I think I’m slooowly getting the basics memorized.
