Send Me A Sans From Any Au

Hello, my friend! I was wondering if you can make a little tutorial of sorts on how you make Goatmom and Sans look scary. You know, like in the "Does little Pup get sick?" and the "What would happen if Little Pup was killed?" comics. (Thank you for being you)

Heya, my friend! I’ve never done a tutorial before, but let me try showing you how I draw scary looking Sans? XD

As for Toriel, there isn’t much to it…? Just look for sharp looking eyes and make her pupils smaller. XD

Hope that helps?

Helpful!

Alright, so as it says the best was to start out is to draw the “line of action”. I drew a few different examples of lines of action going through different sketches (the bright blue line). This line represents the way the figure will move, and usually starting at the head and following the most prominent foot. However sometimes it will follow one hand to the other hand, or one hand to one foot, depending on the pose.

Let’s do a simple pose, though, just for the purposes of teaching.

This step does not have to be perfect. Think if it as a guildline for the rest of the drawing. Use the line of action to determine how you want the figure to pose.

Keep it loose! It doesn’t need to be neat and tidy. Also, remind that a figure like sans is three dimensional, so add guildlines to help you remember to keep him that way.

Another thing to keep in mind at this step is the height. You have probably heard that humans are 8 heads tall. And this is where I call malarkey on that. In a perfectly proportioned world, every human would be 8 heads tall. However, that would make us all look like Greek gods and superman. Women typically range about six to six and a half heads tall while men range six and a half to 7 heads tall. (Sans is both short and squat so he is 6 heads tall in my mind.)

This is where we deviate from a traditional figure. Sans is made of bones and doesn’t have a waist to draw, so while normally this is where you’d add the stomach and any chub to the figure, Sans is just bone.

This also doesn’t have to be perfect! This is a guildline for the final drawing, so don’t stress yourself out.

For the next bit, I switched my pen up in Krita, before I was using a regular “Ink pen” to make everything more obvious and easier to see, now I used the pencil tool, because it’s easier to get the details and thin lines I want.

Some thing I’ve noticed looking at beginners art (and at my old art) is that clothes are a pain in the butt to get right. I still struggle. Often times I see clothes that look more plastered on to bodies instead of the figure wearing them. The best way to avoid this is to use the 3D guide you drew and make sure the clothes follow the contours of the body. Sans doesn’t have a stomach, so his shirt is more likely to have a deep wrinkle between his ribs and pelvis.

A good way to get good at drawing clothes is to use lots of references. Like pictures from fashion magazines or just fashion blogs where people take pictures if their clothes. That way you can see the way the clothes work on the human form. (I don’t recommend using drawn references, because it’s better observe from real life)

Another important part of this step is facial features and expressions. Part of why I like drawing Sans is because his expressions are sometimes hard to come up with. It’s a good idea to match expressions with the way you poses the figure. I drew him pretty relaxed, so I gave him a relaxed expression. Another expression I could have used was sheepish, having him look off to the sad. Or maybe even sad, with less of a smile, looking a bit more down. It’s good to experiment and see what you like as well.

I’m next just going to talk about basic coloring (because this isn’t about coloring) so if you want a full coloring tutorial, let me know.

Sans has a very basic color scheme, and therefore I have fun playing around with styles of his clothes more. However, a good tip to remember is coloring, try and desaturated you colors, meaning that instead of choosing the brightest blue or green, slide that color slider over and pick a one mixed with grey. A tint or shade of that color. It looks much better on the eye.

For shading, you’re going to want to place your light source some where. Whether it be over heard, off to the side, or down below, just know that the side you put the light source on is where the light is and on the other side is where the shadow is. For beginners I recommend having a physical remind of the light source (like my light bulb drawing) to remind you of where you want to shade, but as you get better, you won’t need to anymore.

As a personal choice, I don’t use black as a shadow color. I use mostly blue or purple. I recommend trying it to see if you like it, because to me it looks more realistic.

Please remember that is this is just how I draw, and it’s not how everyone has to do it! And I encourage all artists to find their own way of doing things, but sometimes you need a little guidance. So I hope this helps.

If you have any comments, questions, or concerns, let me know. Also, let me know if you want to see another tutorial like this, and if so, of what?

so im having trouble learning how to draw sans can you provide a tu-toriel plzzz thanm you :)

Hopefully this helps? Idk how to tutorial jhfjhghjfjhf

Greetings, OP! Your art is fantastic and every time i see it in the papyrus tag i go "Oh!!! Its Kioko!". I am also an avid papyrus enjoyer, but his head is a challenge to draw. Any advice for drawing papyruses? (Papyri?)

Hi fellow Papyrus enjoyer! Thank you for your kind words and it brings me joy hearing you recognize me in the papyrus tag! Here’s some tips on drawing him and his counterparts. I tend to overlook or forget to add things in my explanations. Let me know if there’s something I should clarify or add and happy drawing!
