Anyways, I've been very active with my paintings lately! For a while I just didn't enjoy it all that much, but now I can't even understand why I would ever feel that way. I think it may be because I started drawing my characters more often again, which I always loved before and now find that I still love! I guess I'm just drawing them more often while I wait for some commission information so I can get started on those, buuuut I do have one big commission in the works, its proving to be quite a challenge though!
Awesomely enough I was commissioned to paint Hiccup and Toothless, two characters that I love, but I'll admit my knowledge on dragon anatomy is well... inexistent. But Toothless is coming out surprisingly well I think! Hiccup on the other hand still needs some work, not sure I like the direction I have going for him. Anyways any kind of crit at all would be awesome! I really want to do these characters justice : )
I finished two simple paintings of some characters of mine, I'm happy enough with how they came out : )
The top one is Noena and the bottom is Rayna, they have a sort of love hate relationship, mostly hate though. Hmmm how I have missed them c:
Did some more hand studies today, gosh I'm still so terrible! I'm not so bad when I have refs I suppose though!
Aaand a few anatomy sketches.
I've got more stuff on the way soon!
Like I said, I really like Ray's redesign, it's simpler in a way that's much more solid, and gosh I love her little pull-rope vest. And Noena's hair loops are so cuute too!
ReplyDeleteHigh-five for the hand anatomy practice, just keep at it, it's so worth it! I got another Alfons Mucha book the other day, and the way he draws hands are so soft and fleshy; I totally want to start practicing more, too! Mine look like claws, haha.
Yeeeah I don't know why I thought "the more complex a design is the better!" before, I've come to hate unnecessary clutter! Hehe they're both just so fun to draw!
ReplyDeleteI always thought I'd get better at them with time but I haven't improved on them all that much at all! So I'm taking matters into my own hands (SEE WUT I DID THAR) I was looking at some Mucha stuff at chapters the other day actually! Soooo need to get me one of those books!
