Just a doodle for practice.

Using a reference for the basic idea (a screen capture from Flesh & Blood). http://www.feebonics.org/images/flesh_and_blood_ref.jpg

I'd normally put something like this in beginner, but I really wanted the extra canvas space. I hope it's okay.

I don't think you need to worry about what board you post on.
Sweetcell (Apr 10, 2006)
My favorite genre, I would be happy just to draw this kind of art (which I do).

Looking forward to seeing more. I think the mans arm just needs to be adjusted comd. His forearm partially horizontal and his upper arm jutting out just a little. Waiting to see this colored.

Thanks guys.

Sweetcell: With the arm, I think that's where I think I'm screwed by using a reference. I couldn't understand what was going on with his torso and arms from that dark picture, so I got trapped trying to draw it. I feel like if I redrew his head and the vertical traveling down his upper torso, I might be able to make it work better, but perhaps I'll be bold and erase him completely and try to draw something completely of my own in place with the hope that it won't end up looking like crap. Just trying to juxtapose a new arm in there without understanding the torso movement exactly just isn't working for me.

As for coloring, I'm not sure I plan to color this one. I love shading and coloring - it tends to be my favorite part of the process, but I need so much more practice at drawing first that coloring just sort of diverts my attention. I might keep it around to color later when I feel more comfortable with drawing though (or maybe just a day when I'm too stressed out to draw anything new).
Sweetcell (Apr 11, 2006)
Comd, I see what you mean now, in the pic he looks a bit hunched, maybe erase him and add your own person, maybe add an elf or a dwarf. Myself I don't look much at references. I learned to draw by reading comic books and Conan mags (my favorite.) And as anyone knows comic books tend to exaggerate the human form (that's why we love em I guesse) I'd go with your instinct and start over. The other two however are dead on. Love how the one in the middle is holding his sword. Sweet.

I'd like to see this shaded with those off tone sepia colors with red highlights cause, well they're in the Dragons den. Fire man fire. XD Hope you finish soon.

That's excellent - the overall picture is very nice, but the individual sections are also very interesting on their own.
Cameo (Apr 9, 2006)
Wow! That is totally awesome.
komugimaro (Apr 9, 2006)
this is great especially for that amount of time
Sweetcell (Apr 9, 2006)
How you do these pictures in such a short time. I see what your doing, finding form with loose strokes. Bravo well done. She almost looks alive.

After doing my last picture here which was a very mechanical attempt to achieve photorealism where my only aim way to copy the photo, I wanted to go in the opposite direction, getting back more to what I was trying to do in the intermediate boards, instead attempting the loosest attempt to draw from a reference yet, with an attempt to only use the reference without drawing the reference at all. Accuracy to the photo is not going to be a criteria in this case. It's going to be about speed, looseness, and improvisation. I just finished a lot of work, so hopefully I'll have the time to focus on something challenging.

I'm going to try to combine what I've learned from both my practice in drawing with references and inventing forms without references to make something that hopefully doesn't suck too much and doesn't require too much time spent on it (hopefully something I finish by the end of the day). By using a reference, I'm hoping the result will be more convincing and anatomically correct than some of my doodles on this board where I didn't use any references at all. By not drawing the reference directly, the end result will hopefully be something fairly different than the photo and interesting on its own. Most importantly, I'm hoping it will be a useful exercise that will help me get better.

Reference: http://hq55.com/scan/willemdafoe/01.jpg. After cropping out the text on the left, I decided to flip him horizontally. I just liked it better that way after removing all the space on the left. I don't know why I liked it better - I'm not a composition expert, but I liked the initial focus to be on the left flowing towards the right, and having the brighter portion of the face on the left seemed to do that more.

I don't really know what I'm going to end up with. I have a fantasy theme in mind: maybe a warrior or a priest or something.

Somewhat elfish, it's interesting to read what was going through your mind as you drew this, I'd say your right side was working conveniently alongside your left. Nicely done comd.

Just have to ask what your name represents, if it's a abbreviation of something. Curious is all.
Shoebox (Apr 7, 2006)
Reminds me of that part in the ROTK movie. Y'know, the path of the dead?

Creepy. But good, very very good. I love how you can still see the sketch lines.
safescene (Apr 9, 2006)
You are crazily talented. I love how it looks as though he came from another era/dimension/time, and his smug face.
Kloxboy (Apr 9, 2006)
That's tight. I really like the subtle highlights and lighting. Structure rocks..hehe.

Gemmy, simply beautiful as eye see it!
ginny_91 (Apr 7, 2006)
this is so good, I really like it, it's like rainbow eye lid and you did a great job on the eye lashes. I will try to draw an eye too, but it's not going to be as good as your's, but I will try my best!<3
Sweetcell (Apr 7, 2006)
Amazing stunning piece Gemmy. Didn't I see something similiar drawn by DBA? I think that's how you graduate here, if you can do an eye your set.... I have one in mind, but only till I get a bit better.

This is simply wowzers.
gerbear (Apr 9, 2006)
Love the eye..very realistic and great against the textured background. Agreed aobut the view..u will always see one or the other, the top ledge of the lower lid or the bottom edge of the upper lid but not both, but since you worked from a ref, the original artist is the one who did that, therefore..yours is perfectly awesome!!! The Iris is startingly real!
