Trying to get a feel for what it takes to make a human head (not necessarily realistic: just something I could comfortably draw without a reference - could be cartoonish). I am having serious perspective problems. Maybe I should start off with a cube to get a feel for the correct angle and how to place the features in proper symmetrical form. I ended up drawing those horizontal and vertical lines towards the end only to realize that features were really assymetrical/lopsided.

That looks cool, now that piece has contours. ;)
Reminds of Doze Green's work a littlle but more sketchy and structured.

If people's faces were absolutely symmetrical, there wouldn't be nearly as much variety in what they look like. The imperfections and off-angle features are what make interest. Why be perfect?

comd (edited Mar 26, 2006)

Ah definitely, but I'd like to add asymmetry once I can draw things properly in perspective symmetrically, otherwise I'll just end up passing off my mistakes as asymmetrical features of the character. That works, but I'd like to be in more control rather than letting my mistakes dictate the look of the character.

Nice job on Mr. Racer here. better not let Trixie see you name there on Speed's stearing wheel. My favorite episode is the one with the Mammoth Car.
DBA, I picture you more with Speed's brother Racer X.....

DeadlyBlondeArcher (edited Mar 28, 2006)

Yeah, well, either one of them will do. :)

Amazing job fer sure Miss Cindy. I used to watch this, now I can't hear the first line of the song and I turn it. Not as into him anymore, but you did a good rendition.

This is a great looking start, Levi. It has a "Matrixy" look

Linwe_lover_1990 (Mar 25, 2006)

Yeah it kinda reminds me of the Angent Smith one i did.

Kloxboy (Mar 25, 2006)

It's the Depeche Mode, the title made it obvious but yeah, it also looks a lot like them too. As well, I'm a fan so it was pretty easy for me. ;)

nice. you should draw a bottle of elmer's glue jogging (complete with sweatbands of course) could be fun :)

TaCO (Mar 25, 2006)

I like it better at 50%
I'd like to see you draw another one like this but with lots of tattoos.

Kloxboy (Mar 25, 2006)

Derrick, Nobody: Perhaps I'll combine your ideas...that might be fun. It'll be like MAD Magazine meets Shawn Barber.

IkariIreuL (Apr 15, 2006)

A mix of anger ,envy and apathy not in that order, that what it is to me.

Excellent looking start. I think the character's going to come out very nicely.

Kloxboy (Mar 23, 2006)

I agree Comd. That style has nothing but potential.

kristine (Mar 23, 2006)

Hell, it just wreaks potential.

This is absolutely brilliant. I thought it was already genius at v2, but it went up yet another notch.

fleeting_memory (Mar 26, 2006)

This is weird-cool shading though

Was doodling around and found some interesting shapes for a character. Looks kind of like something from Dark Crystal.

You're another one who has great imagination and talent. When it stops drawing, hit the screen refresh button. When it does a box will ask if you want to restore your last image..hit yes and everything comes back working.

Golgoroth (Mar 23, 2006)

I am VERY impressed! Excellent work! But just what is it?

DoOp (Mar 24, 2006)

thats cool =) i'm betting it's.....i dunno

Childlike_Vampire (Mar 24, 2006)

Oh wow! This is cool as hell, I like that it's somehwat sketchy, and the designs on the helmet and such are great! Kind of looks like some sort of turtle-kin. Great drawing.
