Term 1 - Week 2 + Recent Comic Page Sketches
So I'm done with week 2, I won't do the photoshop combining assignments, I want to concentrate on the structural things and refining my technique. I've been a bit lazy with the pen control study today but I've seen some improvement. I honestly want to move on to some other exercises, the break was long and I want to learn new stuff xD I also crave doing some gestures, I'm ready for those!
With the comic I'm having a really hard time with poses in general. I don't always find the right references for everything, of course, I'm taking photos whenever I can, but translating it to the drawing is not that easy for me. I also struggle with stylized faces right now. The characters look too young sometimes or the faces are kinda 'floaty' which is an old problem of mine. I did study construction in the past but I definitely need some refreshers there.
I haven't decided yet if I want to make the lines very clean or kind of pencil-like for the final page, I think things will clear themselves in the process. I'm going to change a lot for the last page and also I'm not happy with the sitting pose of the first page. But at some point I have to continue, otherwise this project will not be finished ever ^^,
Eventually, I want to be able to post a finished page per week online, but I want to have some pages in store for that.
So that's it for now, quite a long ranty post ^^,, Hope to post again tomorrow or in a few days, have a great week and thanks for reading 💕
