Prestidigitation

So, for some reason, I had never heard of Burne Hogarth until about two weeks ago! Astounding, I know. But I stumbled across Dynamic Wrinkles and Drapery and, soon after, Dynamic Figure Drawing, whereupon the thought occurred: “ZOMG I think I have a new hero.”

Anyway, I just tried one of the simpler exercises from the figure drawing book: sketching a face with consistent proportions from several angles. The results?

It has some… peculiarities, but I’m happy with it as a first attempt, and I definitely learned some things from the process of drawing it.

And now! I’m off to renew my library checkouts. I want to keep these books for a while. ♥

Sketch Guidelines!

Yay! It’s the first commission of the year.

This is for Pie, who wanted to see a possible previous confrontation between Gauth and The Don:

Gauth is not fond of facial hair, and The Don is not a gracious winner. And that’s semi-permanent ink. OH SNAP.

Alice of Two Rooks has demonstrated that her digital painting skills can beat up my digital painting skills. Observe:

Dang. If only Jen looked that good in the comic. ^^

(Sorry for the gap in blog updates. More to follow as I get back to drawing, hopefully!)
