No context, nor any explanations aside from what’s already on them if you click ‘em, since some are kinda spoilery.

There’s this discord channel I hop in when I want company when I go to bed. My friends will hop in and keep me company while I sleep, and I often wake up to everyone doing their own thing.

I got the cute mental image of a bunch of tiny friends vibing with their big friend while they rest, and the sounds of life going on around them helps them sleep better.

Snouts make hugging a lil hard, but they make a good perch <3

Bro I don’t understand how people grasp perspective in Giant/Tiny art. Last night I was trying to do something atmospheric with a giant looming over someone on their knees, trying to hold something up, and it just. I. Man I’ll get perspective one day but today is not that day lmao…

I cannot understand how to get someone to take up a ton of the screen and give them a sense of scale. It’s always been one of my weak points, and I’m not sure how to study it.

I hope you don’t mind me hopping on here to ramble

I’ll be honest: idk what the hell I’m doing. I spend so much time struggling immensely on my perspective pieces, and usually end up fairly frustrated over how I’m not able to get the wanted effect. I’m kinda glad I’m not the only one who struggles with it.
My biggest tip though is to take advantage of 3 things:

- Photograph yourself at a low angle for reference. Phone cameras are very flat but at least they can help you a little bit with anatomy and surprise you in which way limbs actually curve when looked at from low angles (lord knows with this piece without photo ref I was gonna do Lovia’s raised arm so damn wrong)

- Play around in 3D programs where you can have a fish eye lense. I find it so hard to wrap my head around that stuff so I need visual help with it. Why fish eye lense though? Straight lines rly remove that feeling of scale, curved lines are a must even on surfaces that should technically be straight (like walls). But it doesn’t stop on walls, the effect carries onto everything, and boi howdy is it hard to figure out its application on anatomy.

- Study 5 point perspective. An insane help on this? Lazy Nezumi’s fish eye ruler tool. Can’t say I fully understand how to fully take advantage of 5 point perspective, as in, how big to make the circle? How off-center can I place the middle vanishing point while still keeping the desired effect? Mysteries to explore for sure, but mysteries made fun to explore when you have a helping tool (no I’m not sponsored by Lazy Nezumi but holy shit it’s a good tool) 
The ruler tool can help in giving basic blocky boundaries to work within, or help with stuff like interiors. Srsly, background is like half of the effect, you need it.

Hoping to one day dive deeper into this stuff eventually but I hope this can help at least a teeny bit now TTuTT

1. Op, you’ve got a good start here and let me tell you: sketching something is always better than sketching nothing, don’t be afraid to sketch it out even if it doesn’t look good right away. Perspective is balls and takes time, having even a vague idea of what you want is a foundation for tweaks and fixes later.

2. The tip I have is a general perspective tip not strictly Gt related but try to imagine the box the item/person comes in and build up from there. Example:

3. Sometimes it helps to start with what you want in the foreground/most prominent and build backwards from there. If a fist is closest to the viewer, make the hand the size you want then reverse engineer with the bottom or top of the box from there.

4. If you can find a copy, I recommend the Perspective Drawing Handbook by Joseph D’Amelio. Works with scale, distance, and tricky bits like measurements too.

Hope this helps!

Bro, I. This is why I fucking love Tumblr lately. If I posted this on Twitter, it woulda gotten two likes, a ‘same,’ and nothing else.

Y’all are fuckin’ awesome, thank you so much! There’s some tools I hadn’t considered here, and honestly the comfort of ‘I don’t know what I’m doing either’ is enough to take some pressure off my shoulders heheheh

Thank you both!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH

I live for the trope of tols catching smols, so reading this post made my hand slip and here we are. A calm morning session of some intense research goes wrong, T is eternally thankful for Lovia’s incredibly fast reflexes. Lovia in turn is just going to lie on the table for a minute, I’m not sure if he even noticed that he grew a littlebit with all the adrenaline in his veins.

Mfs be carrying me around like this

Did I just doodle out an entire animatic just to draw Spamton Neo a lot??? Yes. Maybe. Absolutely.
