Tips for Better Among Us Drawings
- Likeness lives in the silhouette: if you fill your character drawing with solid black and it’s still recognizable, you’ve nailed it. If not, no amount of interior detail will save it.
- Count heads: character proportions are deliberate design choices, and using the wrong head-count is why fan art looks "off" even when every feature is right.
