I think that it’s pretty clear at this point that I enjoy doodling from time to time. And it’s also pretty clear that if you’ve gotten this far you either like my sweet, sweet drawerings or you’re an idiot. While, in an ideal world, I could say the former, let’s be honest-this is the fucking internet. Anyways, now that I’m done insulting you people, let’s get to the meat-heh heh heh; I said MEAT- and potatoes of this little shindig; the aforementioned doodling. Monsieur Gaijin thought it would be interesting if he made a little article about the who/what/how of his drawering style, and if he referred to himself in third person for an entire sentence. Now that half of my dreams have come true, let’s get to dissecting this crap-happy picture of chibi Gaijin. Smiles all around or I will kill your babies.
Well, first, we start ourselves off with a skull and spine; it’s "Gaijin’s bullshit way of sounding smart" for a circle, and a line marking the position of the body, with extra li’l twiggies to figure out where the fuck the arms and legs are going to be...unless you find yourself drawing an amputee. This isn’t really to be realistic necessarily, but it helps with positioning, what pose you want to use, making sure it doesn’t look like some sort of strange discharge from a Saigon whore’s nether regions, etc. Basically a shit load of artists start this way-and honestly, if you can’t do this step get the fuck away from my site before you start clogging up the angst-pipes with your stupid.
Now now, don’t get discouraged, just hold onto your underpants and we’ll get through this beeyotch. While some artists at this point literally dissect the human anatomy and use geometric shapes and musculature to finish this step, I say fuck that hippy shit. Really, this is just to understand how I want the clothes to go around the body, making sure I have the right sort of body type-not everyone can keep this sexy 200 lbs. physique, you know-and to make sure the pose won’t look retarded. Keep in mind however, this little tutorial’s designed for the male body-and that means more than a throbbing member and a lack of titties. Despite the lack of endowed mammaries, a man’s body is more top heavy when compared to a woman; the broad shoulders taper down as you go along. Likewise, a woman keeps that hourglass figure-eight sort of shape, with her upper body tapering down at the stomach and protruding a little more at the hips-and if you’re some sort of fat fuck who thinks I’m just talking about perfect super
models, I’m not. A human body just follows this trend no matter how much fucking food you eat, fatty.
Ah, step three, my favorite of all the steps. As you can see, the largest transition takes place from 2 to 3, but in all honesty it’s pretty straightforward and simple. That "skull" from step one gets a big fleshy mass to wrap around it, and while I could go into a bunch of details about how I draw the human head and shit, this is more to get you to understand how to draw rather than to start making a bunch of replicas of my pictures in grotesque tentacle-hentai man on man action. In short, just build a frame around that circle, keeping in mind how your character should look and what it’s going to take to get there. After that, come clothes-unless you ignored most of this paragraph and are going straight to the tentacle porn.
Now, a lot of people get really into the folds, how they should drape, how you should use little arrows and roadblocks to get them perfect-I’m not one of those cock jockeys. I usually play by eye-you don’t realize it, but the basis for most folds you’ve seen billions of times just walking down the street. And if I do need some help (folds or otherwise) I just grab a sweater or whatever’s necessary and glance over myself in the mirror. Narcissistic, maybe, but I love looking at this slab of sass. As you can see, the picture’s just about done, but we’ve got one more slap-happy step left.
This is the end...at least, for when I do a pencil sketch, this is about as far as it goes. Step 4 is all about refinement-get rid of all the bull shit that has collected in the picture through all the steps, and to add fine details like my trademark chain. At this point-before inking this bitch, mind, it’s pivotal to look over your picture, make sure everything’s copasetic, and finally put down the pencil and masturbate to your work of art. Pervert.
So, that’s it, The Gaijin hath finished his work. Not my best, but fuck you people you don’t deserve better QUIT HEN PECKING ME COCK SUCKERS. Sorry. Anyways, drop by anytime, check it out, and remember that drawing isn’t hard. Not by a long shot when compared to say, killing old people and finding a delicious and expedient recipe to get rid of the corpses. It takes a keen eye for shapes, a head of ideas, and lots of free time for practice. In all seriousness, just keep trying-it took me a decade to get to this point, and I’m sure as fuck still learning.
