Cartoon Pouch Tutorial

I messed up the first time I uploaded this and I lost everything I wrote, here I go again...

First of all, I want to apologize for the number of pics, I know it's a shitton of pics, but bear with me, I don't know how to explain some stuff properly, so I need visual help

Here's the stuff I used, I had a mind slip and wrote Fleece, but it's Felt, also, Iron the fabric you'll use before you use it, I took the pic before I ironed it.

Use something as a reference for the size you want, the biggest thing I'll fit in my pouch is my student ID, so I use it to cut the clothes, I'll use the lines to sew so I leave some margin so it's not super tight.

Be sure to leave all the ugly bits facing outside, we'll cover them with the felt later, also the zipper slider should be facing outside too.

If you don't have a zipper foot (or, like me, don't want to search it) simply place the foot the closest you can to the zipper, when you get close-ish to the slider move the neeedle down so the fabric doesn't move (like in the second pic) and lift the foot, then open the zipper, put the foot down again and finish sewing, for the other side you should start with the zipper open and then close it... In the end it should look like the third pic.

Now sew it to make it a pouch, like you can see, the pretty bits are inside.

Now to give our pouch some personality, this is the sketch I'll use as a reference, notice that I planned where the inner pouch will be to avoid making it too big.

Cut the Felt in the shape you need, to cut the hole for the zipper simply place the pouch you just made where you want it to be, secure it with pins and use a sharpie to mark where the zipper begins and ends, then cut the little rectangle.

Now sew this felt piece to the pouch so we have the back ready, to hide the stitches inside use the lid that you got when you sew the zipper, also, try to make regular stitches with a color similar to the felt.

Now, for the front part, cut all the details you'll need, Bidoof needed a pair of eyes, a nose, a tan muzzle, teeth and a light marking, for the Fin I uploaded a couple of days ago I only needed his face shape and eyes.

Sew the pieces in place using regular stitches, also try to kep the same distance between the edge and the stitches at all times.

Now to sew the back and front together you'll need to do the following, I used white felt with black thread in the example so it looks better... Pass the needle to the other side, now try to enter the needle in the same spot you used first, pass though the loop, it should look like a know when you're closing it, now go a little bit higher and do the same kind of knot, you'll notice how you'll get the thread around and on the edge, rinse and repeat until youre finished, my stitches in the example look gross, but you should try to be as regular as posible for a nice look...

And that's the finished example... if you use this tutorial to make a pouch I appreciate a link back, and I'd love to see the finished product too.

Hope everything is clear, but if you have doubts tell me and I'll do my best to clear them...

Cheers!

the sandy boys... I tried really hard to replicate the texture of sandshrew I hope I did ok

More old stuff, this was my christmas present to one of my best friends who loves Link's Awakening and made me play it since it was the only zelda I never played before and he wanted someone to love it aswell, I used the same palette from the game, except for the "detailed" Links... now that I look at it, I would just leave the wind fish and the photo mouse and erase everything else, but I already printed it, and he liked it, so it's okay...

Edit: I just remembered I never posted this because I was saving it for after christmas but I got a dream that someone stole it and made more posters and when I gave it to my friend he was like "oh thanks, but I already had like 3" and I cried cause I'm a huge baby

Gyarados is such a good design...

etc, etc, etc...

villager with tiny eyes are always hard to draw -_-

I remember loving this line so much because they evolve super fast and then buterfree is pretty strong in comparison to the other pokemon that you encounter in the early game, it also gives you a little taste of psychic pokemon early on...

Do you think that someone could learn how to be good at art? Or is it something you're born with?

I believe everyone who perseveres can draw good, BUT there are some people who has skills that help them become better quicker... and what are those skill exactly? well, first of all it's the ability to not over-frustrate yourself or the ability to turn that frustration into fuel to be better... like Jake from adventure time said "Dude, sucking at something is the first step to become sorta good at something" if you give yourself permission to suck at first, you can see what's wrong with what you did and you won't make those mistakes again (or at least you'll be cool when you see it's not as easy as it looks like)and I kinda lost the train of thoughts I was having, so I'll just list a bunch of stuff I think will lead to a better understanding of art and could eventually make you a better artist.Be exposed to a lot of different stuff, you'll start finding beauty in a lot of things and mistakes in others, you'll soon find out what you want to reach... be observant with what you like and apply it to what you're doing... ask yourself why do you like the things you like and why do you dislike the things you dislikeDon't be afraid of asking for help, if you can't put your finger on your mistakes, ask someone else for help... if you can't think of anyone, I'm here and I love to talk about this kinda stuff xD Be open to what others have to say... (but obvs ignore everyone calling you poopface) sometimes strangers will give you great adviceOf course, everytime I see a 14 yo who draws good I cry inside a little, but I try to think that they also worked to get where they are, so it's great for them...

Thanks for your ask, dear Anon, idk why you came to me to ask this but I spent like an hour thinking so thanks ♥

(I'm not sorry)
