Our feature tutorial/artist for today is this simple yet GROUND-BREAKING idea by the brilliant @sputnik2nd! Sometimes the KEY FORMS of ANATOMY can ELUDE us at CERTAIN ANGLES, and this is a great reminder that it's all just STACKING SHAPES! #manga #characterdesign #illustration

Our feature artist/tutorial today is this GENIUS page on how to STYLISE, SIMPLIFY and EXAGGERATE HANDS by the talented @miyuliart! It’s SO USEFUL to view the reference and stylised versions SIDE by SIDE, as it shows how we alter SOME, but NOT ALL of the anatomy to get that look!
