2draw.net - boards - Beginner - More head practice

comd (Mar 25, 2006)

Just trying to construct heads some more without a reference. I really need help. This one is really boring and symmetrical because of the angle, but I don't think I'm ready to tackle 3/4 views yet (sometimes I can pull them off, but only when I'm lucky - I'm tired of depending on luck).

I stopped using antialiasing at the advice of Maiko since it makes the files take so much more space which, in turn, ends up limiting the number of revisions I can make. Besides, the antialiasing doesn't really help me for practice drawings.

If you can do this without a reference , you're already way ahead of most here. If this is boring, put horns on him , or give him an unusal mouth or ears. I didn't know antialiasing made the files larger, thanks for that.

Thanks danvincipollag. I want to be able to tackle some complex angles. This one was just a straight on shot, so I just tried to draw fairly symmetrical here. I still got the eyes pretty off. :( I noticed in the thumbnail for the earlier revisions that one was quite a bit higher than the other.

I'm still quite stuck at just drawing heads. I still have a long way to go before I can draw full-figured characters at any angle I want without creating a picture I hate.

For the antialiasing, it makes a huge difference in file size. I think I would have went past my limit already by now if I had turned it on.
