Wow these are amazing Jasmine. You have a ton of skills already I cant wait to see your progress! Ill be following on insta!

Drawing these proportions was quite a nice exercise I need to remember these proportions for when I’m drawing other poses as limbs tend to be shorter than the other. First attempt was on the left and on the right is a more defined sketch.

Using the measurement technique marc suggested I found it quite helpful also drawing lines across where each body part should start and end is super handy.

I can honestly say quick gesture drawing makes me want to quit drawing forever, I know overtime I’ll get better but as my skills are not strong drawing quickly is so difficult I need time to fix my mistakes and understand where I’m going wrong as opposed to worrying about how much time I have left go finish a drawing. For some reason my mind can’t grasp the concept of doing something quickly lol.

This perspective study is spot on. Fantastic work! You really are doing an awesome job with these extreme poses. Really fantastic. Keep it up!

One thing I find hardest about the face is the shading, after struggling with proportions and becoming more comfortable shading a long with symmetry are really difficult for me.

On the left is one of my character Rikah in my upcoming webcomic, I was watching some of marks tips and tricks for shading and how to make your art look finished I’m gaining more confidence in that. I usually go from pose studies to testing myself with new techniques. On the right is a sketch of a cyborg inspired character, I find these chars so cool but the different shapes and mechanical parts are a lot for me to get my head around.

Onwards and upwards though :smile:

Keep up the good work! These are looking nice!

I actually did let enjoy creating these small creatures haha, I prefer to do things either in more detail or anime style. I do know the mind of work you put in your portfolio determines what work you may be doing or scouted for so I definitely wouldn’t put pieces like this in my portfolio when I’m looking to work in a gaming company.

Really nice work Jasmine! These characters have so much .. character! Loving them. One thing Marc told me recently when working on clothes was to go really really dark in the deep recesses. It helps the illusion of 3d. I am still very new with clothing and don't full have this down but I am working on it for sure. Great work. Keep it up!
