Anonymous asked: Uncle Mod I am having trouble! I want to be able to draw things touching each other (like people holding hands) but it never works! Can you help? Thank you for drawing so much I hope you are not hurting because of it any more!

Drawing things touching is super hard! So don’t feel bad for struggling with it; I am still learning to do it myself, but I have found that there’s a trick in the lineart stage that you can employ which helps a lot.

Real life doesn’t have outlines, but we use lines in drawings to show where objects begin and end. Where things touch the spaces between them are reduced or eradicated, so thinner lines can help to enforce the idea that they are touching;

thicker lines emphasize distance between objects and the solidity of objects. If something is really pressing against another thing, you can completely break the line or sometimes remove it altogether! Try it out and see what works.

A simple way to think about it is that when two masses are pressed together they are making one mass overall. You use lines to separate objects, so it follows that if you want to ‘join’ two objects, you remove the line!

Remember that soft objects mesh more easily, so you can break and thin the line much more with flesh or fabric, while if you have a hard object it will maintain it’s form (and therefore outline) even when pressed against something else, and will even force a softer object to change shape!

Also thank you, polite anon, I am not hurting per say but my elbow and wrist still feel a bit funny, so I am trying to rest them and do my stretches as much as possible. Keep your hands healthy people!

Anonymous asked: what region are those TPatJ clothes from? :o

they’re taken from various medieval manuscript and tapestry pictures from around europe, but really I didn’t want the story to be obviously set in any ‘real’ place, so all of the outfits are a blend of various cultures (for example the armor you’ll see in time is a hybrid of Turkish and Viking with a bit of Mongolian thrown in too), so while they’re from around the same time frame the origin of the clothes isn’t from a single region- the same goes for the architecture, but really I’m hoping the intention is obvious enough with the fact that there’s mermaids and dragons and junk \o/
