I know you guys are gonna freak over this next lesson because I am freaking right now just because I am uploading it to the site. For this next lesson I will be showing you how to draw blood step by step. This is the coolest looking tutorial that I have done in a while and I am very pleased on how it came out. Of course as you can tell all the special effects for coloring the blood was done in Photoshop CS while using my Wacom Intuos 3 tablet. There are four different types of blood that I will show you how to draw. The first blood design is on dripping blood, like the kind you would see drooling down a wall, or other upright surfaces. The next one is on a blood splatter which is a common image seen on walls, grounds, and any other kind of surface. Blood splatter is made when blood is shot out from an object (body from an animal, creature, or human) at an accelerated speed like from a gunshot, tear, or bursting. The next design of blood that I will show you how to draw is the splatter drip. This is the same as a splat except there is blood dripping away from the splatter. A blood tear drop is another shape I show you how to do. And finally a blood puddle which is made from blood by a slow to moderate leakage. I know all these blood design descriptions are kind of brutal, but is there really any other way to describe the different shapes of blood? Drawing blood can also be done with computer illustrations and graphical designs. When you draw blood in a vector like manner, you are most likely using some graphic art skills that you either picked up through schooling or pure constant usage of working with computer graphics like me. I hope you all enjoy this awesome lesson on how to draw blood step by step. When you are done with this tutorial you will be using your newly learned skill on all your artwork that calls for a little blood. I shall return gang in a bit so stay tuned.
