[Opal]

also here's the grayscale

Good stuff Cody! The Hoodie is rendered very well! There are a few issues with the anatomy so it might be good to check your pose against a ref pose

[Opal]

yeah i have to admit i should have fixed the anatomy at the beginning, buttttttt here we are. thank you for calling me out on that iv'e got to remember to give full effort to the whole drawing.

[Opal]

okkkkk here i am, I'm back. I've got a lot to post, oh and i haven't been on the forums much since I've been on vacation for a little while but I'm finally back here and I'm excited to share my work with you all.

[Opal]

i also have this original character i made last month which took a little too long I also would love any tips or methods to any painterly based drawing methods since i love the look of it and would like to try it. As always have a great day everyone.

[Opal]

I'm back again! I can't say much for now since my laptops about to die but i will say these are more like 8 minute gestures of slowly studying them. I'd say it turned out swell, anyways have a great night everyone and as always feedback is important.

KEEP ON GOING CODY!!!

[Opal]

I wasn't able to do much digital art today since i have school and football but i always draw in my handy sketch book. so here is a drawing i did from reference because i found a really cool pose i had to draw. It took me about 30 minutes. Have a restful night everyone.

this looks amazing!

[Opal]

Thank you cryoxin for the love. For today i decided to start off with some gesture drawing since i haven't done any in a hot second. I should hopefully have a character sheet soon so look forward to that. Have a magnificent day everyone.

[Opal]

This is my study on anatomy and i will say it took forever to get this all written down but I'm gad i did because now i have it clearer in mind and a reference study to go back to.

This looks great +.+ love the light in this. At the bottom is a very warm atmosphere, whereas at the top with the spikes it getting colder. Nice contrast 👍

[Lockenheim]

Very dynamic pose cody! Really loving these gestures keep it up!

[Opal]

Hello people here is an anatomy study from memory. Hope you all have a splendid day.

[Opal]

I've up taken the task to draw 100 heads and even though i may be focusing a bit much on each individual head. I think it's going swell, have a great day everyone.

[prinzmoana]

Very nice shading and expressions :}
I like especially the last one 👌

[Opal]

Some gesture since its been a little while and i think it's going well, i definitely need to work on the flow of the gestures. Thank you for the kind encouragement @prinzmoana and hope everyone has a great day. keep improving!

[Opal]

I know it's been about a week but here i am! I have been sick and competing in a lot of sports so i I've not had much time to draw digitally. I'm finally feeling good enough to draw so here's something i worked on today. critique is much appreciated and have a great night everyone!

I like the design of the character :}

For the anatomy, her left arm looks a bit bigger than her right arm.

[Lockenheim]

Do you have the construction for this? I think you should adjust her pants cloth. The tangent of the cloth and her left leg is pretty much the same contour, it makes the read really difficult. I would make the cloth cover more or less of the leg to help the read. Overall this character is really cool and you did a great job with the design! One other thing too, the horn isn't reading well, and its pretty saturated comparitvely so it draws attention. If its meant to be on the side of the head id add a bit of shadow between the head and horn for clarity. If its meant to be in the center of the head I would move it to the right inbetween her eyebrows for clarity. Really great job keep it up!
