Structure of the Torso

Hey guys, here's a new tutorial video - part 1 of a (probably) 2 part series on drawing the Structure of the Figure. I plan for the next part to cover the limbs, and I might eventually do a video just on feet. If you're interested in anatomy tutorials in particular, let me know!

*Also please excuse the blown out mic quality, I am cursed with the uncanny ability to constantly change settings that only make it sound worse

Anyway, please feel free to leave any thoughts, questions or...

Drawing Over and Setting Goals in the New Year!

Hey guys, happy new year! 

Here's the first video of 2024 - one of the goals I have for this Patreon, as I say near the end of the vid, is to do 4 monthly videos - 2 podcast type ones, like this post, 1 tutorial and 1 QnA - I think that's a manageable workload for me and it should allow me to get better at speaking and making videos in general, and hopefully provide enough good helpful content for you guys!

HUGE Early Art Drop!!!

Here's a bunch of art I hadn't published anywhere yet, mostly concepts for an Arabian DnD Setting, as well as commissions for Ryoko's - a lot of these are chapter covers, which is why they have to much empty space at the top.
