Probably get this a lot, but, how you draw armor?? (╯°Д°)╯on a side note, you make me want to roll a blood elf. Only problem I have is I don’t know what server to play on (my current sever is MAJOR Alliance to Horde, and it’s PVP), nor what class. I’m currently all Alliance with my husband on our server, and would like to roll a Horde (got no problem with Horde, just Alliance has been our personal preference) just don’t know where to start : other than that, love your work!

If you’re gonna reroll on a completely new server, it’s important to do some research.

What’s also really great for sending money between alts and servers, are those stolen insignia. Use one (so you can champion them in dungeons) and then the rest vendor for 17g 50s each.

THIS IS A 2PT QUESTION! —- PT1: armor

I love drawing WoW armor — it hides my anatomy mistakes because no one knows wtf WoW armor is supposed to be lol.  D:

How do I draw armor.. I don’t know lol.  Never thought about it.

Dunno what sort of “look” you’re aiming for (something realistic, believable? VS something cartoony), but armor is just random shapes piled on top of each other all wrapping around/sitting on top of the basic anatomy.

So for example, here’s a dude thing ^^^

image

Think of armor like basic shapes, in this case a circle over the shoulder because I want to draw some shoulder armor.

But armor isn’t flat like a circle.  Sometimes it helps to imagine the shape as a 3D object since the armor needs to be 3D for your dudething to wear it, right?

image

image

Maybe something closer to this^

image

Sort of a rough outline

image

image

Just addin shapes, trying to describe it as something that would fit on a shoulder (ok “fit” in WoW terms lol)

image

image

Alright that’s a basic enough shoulder piece.

Now you can add and subtract other shapes!

image

YEAH

image

ALMOST, STILL NEEDS SOMETHING

Do the same thing for any armor piece, like think of a basic cylinder shape for a gauntlet or legplates or a belt.  Tailor the piece to more accurately fit the underlying form wearing the armor, since a thigh or a torso isn’t a perfect cylinder obviously lol.

At the end of the day you just sorta.. gotta think of the armor as a 3D object resting upon another 3D form/dudething. 

If the form turns, how will the armor turn with it?  How it look from the back? side? angles?? Foreshortening?  What underlying parts of the form will the armor cover up (or expose) in all those angles?

It’s hard, but learning to turn shapes around in your head takes time and practice (I could definitely use some lol).  

Once you got that figured out you can draw all kinds of armor.

lackadaisycats: Just posting this stupid, scribbledy comic for everyone who commented and sent me notes after I responded to that ask the other day.  I didn’t mean to make a thing of it – I just couldn’t resist replying with snark to something so abrasively nonsensical.

ben-bendraws: Came in to work early, so took advantage of it and doodled. Really maximing y time to draw. Random Tiger Doodled. My tigers kind of look like bears… kinda need to work on that by referencing more.
