A compilation of stuff I know about drawing Asian faces and Asian culture! I feel like many “How-To-Draw” tutorials often default to European faces and are not really helpful when drawing people of other races. So I thought I’d put this together in case anyone is interested! Feel free to share this guide and shoot me questions if you have any! I’m by no means an expert, I just know a few things from drawing experience and from my own cultural background.

Just in case you forget this exists.

It exists.

With those “when you want to design a character but you don’t know color theory” posts flying around I thought this would be relevant again.

SLAMs THE REBLOG BUTTON

there’s also Coolors website that gives you randomized palettes!

Don’t forget ColourLovers, either! It’s a social media-esque site where you can browse tons of palettes and share your own.

You can browse the most popular ones or search for certain colors, themes, and even specific hex codes!

When you find one you like, you can download a wallpaper swatch of it and also select the specific colors it uses to look at more palettes that use those same ones.

ColourLovers is my go-to for when I’m having trouble coming up with a color scheme! It’s also been around for over a decade, so there’s plenty to browse through.

Gotta keep that close

Just a quick thing I put together. This blew my fucking MIND when my anatomy teacher pointed it out. My drawings instantly got better. You might know it (good for you, I wish I knew it before too T_T) or you might not and it might help you get better.

I did NOT know this! :OOOOO Thank you!

Just a PSA – not true of everyone.

I epicly break this rule by having a super-long tibial region, I swear like 30% of my total height is pure tibia. XD Some guys/girls can have long tibias too y’know!

(my dad is similar to the proportions here, my mother has a femur clearly longer than tibia, and somehow I came out with a tibia that’s around equal length to my femur. Like the majority of anatomy tips, it’s a generalisations that can be slightly broken in some people)

Problem with drawing your OC?

It’s called FUSE
