Prestidigitation

How many of these will I actually use in the comic? Your guess is as good as mine!

Apparently that’s a very discouraging tree.

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. ♥
