Draw different faces xD No but seriously, DON’T BE AFRAID OF UGLINESS! You have your default face you draw all the time because you find it pretty and any deviation from the “pretty face” feels uncomfortable. But if you look at photos of different people you’ll see that beauty shows in all shapes, the trick is to make them harmonise with each other.
I drew a default guy and changed only one feature in each drawing and in most cases it might look a bit unnatural. But if you look at the last row you’ll see that all the features, more or less, harmonise with each other in each portrait. It’s because they weren’t added and modified by accident, they were chosen, one by one, to fit the character. So thinking about the character, their personality and purpose is very important.
You can play with position of eyes, or lips, or whatever you want, and it’ll also change the face. And you can practice random faces! Don’t focus on drawing a perfect character and erase what makes them different and special, exaggerate the features and have fun, use references, get familiar with faces and their elements. Hope it helps.
I loved @vivithefolle‘s “Headcanon that Ron sleeps like a cat. Either curled up in a ball of adorableness or sprawled out in all his long-limbed glory.” so I decided to draw some cat Ron xD
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HE’S A CUTIIIIIIIIIIE OH MY GOD
Okay so that “sprawled out in all his long-limbed glory” Ron looks absolutely utterly fantastically HOT. Oh my god just look at him. But that peaceful expression though, he’s such an angel hhhh ❤
Also with that other sketch we get to know why Hermione wants Ron to wear tight jeans. Like, damn, that’s a mighty fine butt. He looks just so adorable with that way-too-big sweater, his nose hidden in his sleeves… Aaaah what an adorable cutie!! I want to pet his hair SO BAD. Or to put his head on my lap, THEN pet his hair. Hhhnngg!!
And the curled up Rons!! Oh my god can he get even MORE adorable – the answer is YES, yes he can! Look at him, looking so innocent and pure and AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH I wanna hug him and squish him and never let go <3<3<3
And awww, sleepy Ron probably falling asleep during Binns’ History of Magic lesson in the upper corner…
All in all, you are a gift and those sketches are a gift and goodness golly your Ron is so adorable I love him ;v;

Ok so um, they flagged the drawing of my cat as explicit (idk, maybe because of visible genitals)… Anyway, you can always find me on Twitter and Instagram (@atalienart) I’ll let you know when I set a private twitter account for any weird content.
This is fine.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
Seriously? This flagging-as-explicit stuff is getting ridiculous!
Anonymous said: Your art is so natural and expressive, I love it! I was wondering how you go about cuddles?? Or just fitting two people together so it’s not awkward or stiff looking, it’s something I’ve struggled with but look to your art to see how you solve it. I was wondering about your thought process when organizing a drawing like that (I hope the English is okay!)
Thanks! ^^ When I read your first question I thought you’re asking about real cuddles :’) Anyway, this is how I go about it, sometimes I alredy have a pose in mind, but then it’s just trying until I get it right. Sometimes I use references. But this technique is really relaxing, I love to draw this way 😀 Hope it helps!
