Tracer (Overwatch Fanart)

[beauviarts]

So, most of my commissions have been for my environments and landscapes. I've been working on characters for a month or so exclusively. Here is a sneak peek at some Tracer fanart I am in the middle of.

She's looking good so far! Can't wait how you'll develop it furder!

Her eyes do look a little smaal trough, I think they can be a little bigger!

Your facial construction is good but a little off, make the eyes bigger and the nose less sharp to a point. Also, the lower lip should be a little thicker, it's deathly thin as it is now.

@zoibu @weed_penguin

Thank you both. It gets hard to tell once you have stared at something. I appreciate those points! Should be some easy fixes.

Looks nice, but as @weed_penguin said its a little off, for me I found it easier to picture it is if you deconstruct the face into planes, so think in terms of planes like the nose can be contructed as an elongated box, the area of the eyes (eye sockets) go a bit inwards, if you construct a grid on the face it'll help understand the facial contruction and will help so much when it comes to facial lighting, ( or at least it helped me )

I think I can visualize what you are talking about. Are you sort of referring to the same model Marc Brunet uses to show the different ways light hits planes of the face? Something like that?

I tend to draw without an underlay. So I'll start with the eyes or something, and work my way out. Help haha

Yes, if you have ever seen in 3d modeling there are sometimes grids when they show the wip stuff like. So thinking in 3d can help alot so whatever is facing towards the viewer is hit with light and then it rounds, i remember seeing a tutorial on planes of the face on youtube from an artist knkl just type knkl planes of face in yt and you should see it, i think he posted the psd file with the grid. Hope this helps 😃
