Awesome thanks man I really appreciate it! For years, prior to starting to work actively to become an artist a couple years ago I avoided drawing people or living things in general because I always struggled with it (which is why my perspective drawings are a lot less flawed haha), during the last couple years I've done almost nothing -in life- besides figure drawing, but I had still largely avoided the face. Now that I've started this art school I've been making a lot more of an effort to focus on faces, unfortunately I am also working on finishing my degree in English (that I'm not planning on using) so that has been slowing me down.

I sincerely appreciate your input and support, thank you!

I was finally able to make time for my first clothing/fabric study, I know the checker pattern on the pants is far from perfect, but I didn't feel like finessing that pattern was all that important, I also skipped the stripes on the shoulders. Any input would be greatly appreciated!
The model is Phoebe Combes, the picture is not mine.

Here is another clothing study, just finished this one. The sweatpants were a lot more tricky than I expected, and I'm not sure what the best (most efficient) way to recreate the stripes on the shirt would be, does anyone have any suggestions?
Model is Phoebe Combes again, picture is not mine.

Thank you, yeah that is what I would have done if I had been using Photoshop instead of (or in addition to) Procreate, but for this basic study I wasn't worried about a detail like that, I was mainly focusing on the folds, how the cloth hangs, etc. Don't get me wrong, I greatly appreciate the input/advice, thank you!

Thank you, that is a good idea, I will definitely do that next time. I can't tell which of the clothing studies you're referring to though, or were you talking about both of them? (yellow shirt or gray shirt).

Thanks again, I really appreciate everyone's input!

I have been WAY too busy with college over the last few weeks and I can't wait to be done with it so that I can get back to focusing on what actually matters: ART School. After finishing my midterms this was the first drawing I did, it wasn't part of the Art School assignments or anything, but I did try to use some of the tips/tricks from Anatomy 1.

Dr. Harleen Quinzell AKA Harley Quinn:

Yeah I see what you mean, I used a frame of the comic as a reference, for context she is in a bathroom stall talking to someone in the next stall over, so I suppose part of her head might be blocked by the gray part of the door frame. That being said, my main focus was on the face, and staying true to the reference, so I didn't even notice that issue with the head until you mentioned it haha. Thank you!

Here is the reference I used:

I like it a lot, as you've seen on my Instagram @nick_haight_art haha. In fairness to the original comic artist, that was a really small frame on a much larger page, so getting the anatomy perfect was not all that important. I really like drawing in the comic book style, or any kind of stylized style, because most of my experience has been in realistic drawing, however I can't help but feel like being able to draw realistic people is less and less important in the art-world (with all of the 3D models and everything else readily available these days) and my main focus is on finding/developing a style of my own.

I totally understand, and don't worry, I have no intentions of neglecting anatomy, I know that it is extremely important haha

Here is the result of my first attempt to draw a person in Marc's style (minus his stylization, or stylization of any kind), as well as a work in progress of a more fully fleshed out character that stemmed from the original drawing in Marc's style.
