I'm totally stuck at the legs and feet which I'm especially bad at. Could someone help?

Taking bets now......


Put this in advanced for space. Mods may move it to intermediate.

I started this last week (I think) when fin shared this technique. It was very fun and easy to draw. I finally was able to draw a normal looking person on this site. : ]

Just a doodle of someone I don't know. Ref: http://www.feebonics.org/images/portrait_ref.jpg. I was chatting with Marcello about Lascaux while drawing it, so I didn't spend quite that much time on it.

Like the William Dafoe one which turned into some dark warrior elf thing, I didn't bother so much to draw the person in the picture (though I was a little less sloppy this time). Halfway through the picture, I started seeing some resemblance to Connie Nielsen, so while I wasn't deliberately trying to make it look like her, I did start thinking about her halfway through the drawing and that probably had some influence. I didn't deliberately try to change much this time. The only place I consciously and deliberately changed was the neck area (I really like long necks). The rest is just inaccurate. The upper half of her head and her eyes bother me a bit, but I started rendering the details in those places too early and it'd be a pain to change them now.

The line work is pretty bad. I'm really uncoordinated with my graphics tablet.

The picture frame was a challenge, and maybe I should remove it. I just wanted to try making rounded corners with a fillet style effect, so I drew four circles and just drew tangent lines with the line tool. To make the lines look smooth, I used a thicker stroke with lighter opacity first rather than using antialiasing.

Bohemian Grove?

Trying to draw some figures without a reference as practice before I attempt to correct that guy on the left in the previous drawing. I'm kind of screwed with the previous drawing since I drew the figures based off a reference (loosely, but still with a lot of aid when it came to proportions, anatomical detail, perspective, etc.). If I'm going to draw my own figure in there, I'm going to have to try really hard to convincingly make it blend in with the other two figures without making my own figure look like a badly drawn cartoon.

It's been a while since I've attempted to construct a full figure without looking at anything - I've gotten pretty rusty, but I think I've improved at least on the feet a little after all the anatomy practice I've been doing (I realize the ones in this one aren't too great, but for me, they are an improvement). Feet have always been one of the hardest things to draw for me since they have to be planted firmly on the ground in perspective, and that's one of the parts where I can't really fake the perspective as a result (and I have a really hard time constructing any sort of organic form in perspective without some sort of reference).

I was originally planning to save this one and delete it as with the majority of my quick practice drawings, but this one didn't turn out too badly. I might keep it around for a while and see if I can refine it a bit.
