So I just started my short story writing class! These are dialogue tips
coming at you with thos transcriptions!!!!!
1. Have your characters speak no more than three sentences at a time–unless you have a good reason to do otherwise.
2. Dialogue is more interesting when characters are saying no to each other.
3. Keep exposition out of dialogue.
4. Let your characters sometimes conceal or avoid instead of saying exactly what they mean.
5. Use “said” as a dialogue tag whenever possible.
6. Use an action rather than a modifier to show how a character is feeling.
7. Cut to the chase. Don’t use dialogue that doesn’t move the story forward and reveal character.
8. Don’t let your characters be too articulate. Fragments are fine. Don’t force conversations to follow a logical order (question followed by an answer). No need to stay on the same subject or include clear transitions from one subject to another.
9. Vernacular is best conveyed by word choice and syntax as opposed to misspellings.
Forgot I never uploaded this, the IFX cover for GIGANTIC! A collaboration betwen myself and Vinod Rams, together we make up the concept art team. I mostly just did Tyto and Vinod did the other characters. This was super fun to do.
Just when you thought you knew everything about boobs… NSFW?
My darling friend Chizzi mentioned that there are a lot of booby tutorials out there are just predrawn boobs with the artist going HEY LOOK! HERE ARE SOME BOOBS! but not many that actually talk about the anatomical structure, and where to put the lines. I was like, “Hey, I can probably whip something up.“ And so I spent my thanksgiving making this.
Proportions probably aren’t exact, but I did my best. I also didn’t explore the various body types, but perhaps I could do a separate tutorial someday. I hope you find this tutorial useful 🙂
All photo references used in the tutorial were found on The Drawing Script. Credits to each photo belong to their respective owners.
so I stayed at this cabin earlier this summer. one day I woke up at 5a.m. and saw the incredible light coming through the front door. I couldn’t just let it go and fall asleep again. I set my camera up, shook some old pillows and caught this beautiful second before the wind blew all of this out
