Description
So yeah... I don't really like the idea of making tutorials, cause they always end up so lacking, but I've been asked by some folks, so I made a... thing. There's just TONS of stuff I feel I should get in to in far more detail, but to keep it on one page some serious amputation is needed! Anyway, FUNDAMENTALS, FUNDAMENTALS, FUNDAMENTALS. You can't learn the fun things before learning the boring things!Also, pardon my bad English. I'm sure there's some words in there that could have been different...

*late reply is late* This is a pretty awful tutorial and I'm probably gonna delete it soon, so remember to save it

Thanks for the heads up ^^
I still like this tutorial, it's a great starting point to just try and experiment with how it could be done. Something to start, you know? But I certainly wouldn't mind if you are to make a better one

This would help me a LOT with different angles of the turtle heads.

I'm really glad if you found something helpful in there~

This was a very helpful tutorial indeed! I wish it had a couple more steps, especially around the eyes, but I love it all the same! I also attempted to use it in order to draw my own TMNT OCs and wanted to share with you what I created, though I followed the tutorial - at least I thought I did - step-by-step, not one of mine had the same position/posture as each other or even this tutorial, is that strange?

Not that great... but thanks

Ah, it's heart-warming to see that you use the exact same process as I do.

Yay! Learning to think in 3 dimensions while drawing is the most useful skill out there. The teacher in me always gets a tiny tad annoyed when ever I see "Draw a turtle" tutorial (or any tutorial, for that matter) that focuses on flat shapes/lines, they basically teach you to copy a head from one angle :/ I'm not saying that this tutorial is genius, it isn't! But I just wanted to get a point across...

Thank you for taking the time to make this.

Didn't take to long, I always find tutorials of this kind to be rather bad and lacking, this one's no exception...

Perhaps one more... but it will be pretty lacking too

It's all good knowledge and cute turtles you drew!

Nuuuh, it's super-lacking!
(If you get the chance, get your greasy paws on that Michael Hampton book, it's pretty awesome!)

WRONG 
That book actually sounds kind of perfect for my classes and personal work, so I'm definitely going to look for it~

This is great! I might give it a try but I suck at circles and lines and following instruction lol i just look and draw >_<

Remember, you are only supposed to draw the guide lines very loosely, I kind of exaggerated it a bit in those step-by-steps. The other two poses shows better how I use this technique (and even those are more "refined" then my usual routine). The blue sketch is just very loose and quick, but it's essential for me when I draw, makes everything 10 times easier! When you get used to drawing more analytically, it becomes a very useful habit

Was looking at this again as I've been sketching randomly lol but I wanted to ask you what do you use to draw? I see most people use Sai more often then pencil
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, if you take a look at the first drawings I posted here, they are done with good old fashioned paper, coloring pencils, markers and water colors 
However, to be able to work intuitively and easily with SAI, you also need a tablet. I first started with a rather cheap Genius MousePen, but it was pretty crappy, really... Wacom's are the best, but they are a little pricey. (I now have a Wacom Intuos 5 Medium, which I absolutely love!) But there's starting to come some good cheaper brands like Monoprice and Huion (or something like that). Medium is the perfect size, no matter brand! Small is just that... too small. And Large is huge, will take up a lot of desk-space and be rather cumbersome.

I've seen your older works loved the colored pencil effect ^_^ My hubby has been offering to get me Sai so that's another reason I was asking lol just not sure its worth it though all my favorite artists (you included lol) I see are using it and love it or are addicted to it haha

If you ask me, it's definitively worth it! It's great value for your money

Haha yea my pos tablet wouldn't do its slow as it is. I plan on getting a new tablet anyways so this will give me a good reason why ^_^ I love sketching but my scanner ruins the sketches and my camera is just ugh

Good scans/photo's are a ever lasting problem with traditional media >< So if you're going to draw stuff only to show it online anyway, then digital is the way to go!

Heh yea true and there is only so much you can do in Photoshop to fix em up without taking too much away

Ooooh! This will help me when I try to draw turtles. Want me to post my first try? >.<

Sure thing! Remember to look in to some of those books I mentioned too if you are interested in learning more, some are available online.

You mean the comic books?
π: 0 β©: 1
No, no, the drawing books mentioned at the bottom of the tutorial.

I'd also suggest "Draw Comics with Dick Giordano" to help with the action poses, modeling, etc.

Haven't heard of that one, I'll give it a look!

For anyone into drawingΒ comic-art and superheroes, that is one of the go-to books! And I'd like to add "Writing for Comics With Peter David" for those into the writing aspect. My personal fave for comic-writing. And he's a great writer himself....

It certainly looks interesting! Another book I haven't read my self on subject is "How To Draw Comics The Marvel Way" by Stan Lee, think I'm just gonna give in a buy that thing soon...Β

Ooh, yes- DO!! I don't have that one myself, but it's one I've been wanting for a while, too. I LOVE Stan, and even entered into a competition last year for a chance to co-write a web-comic with him. Too bad I didn't win....

I bet the competition on that one was pretty fierce!
