Description For some reason whenever I try to draw Sprocket, she always winds up being twice as hard to draw than her boyfriend And usually twice as impressive. In any case, she's actually supposed to look a lot more impressive than Axle, so I guess that kinda works itself out...

Drawing an TFA femme is actually a little easier than drawing a mech, it turns out (well, it did for me anyway).

Things I kept in mind while drawing Sprocket in the design of TFA (again, only made by my observations on Arcee, Elita, and Black Arachnia--so far the ONLY femmes in the show):
1. The waist is TINY and the hips are a lot more curvacious than on a regular TF design.
2. Eyes are farther back, generally surrounded by shadow, and the helmet is made to fit around them.
3. The arms and legs are designed like a human female's--very slender and pointed, not that many harsh angles. Curves are mostly used, sharp angles are used sparingly unless for emphasis.
4. Feet are pretty tiny, and usually have noticable heels (not so much on Arcee tho).
5. The face shape isn't all stretched out, like a mech's can be. It's made to look feminine, which is also why lips are a lot more defined.
6. Small nose like the mechs. Usually right under (or part of) the helmet.

So why did I deliberately buck observation number 4? Because Sprocket is a reconaissance officer, and constantly running around with tiny little heels aren't going to get her anywhere fast. She's got BOOTS dammit XD

Oh, and I kinda had fun with those missiles, too XD Girls' gotta have PROTECTION y'know...(and she's gotta make up for the fact that her boyfriend has NO weapons to speak of... )

Thank you so much! Sprocket's the type of girl to kick butt and look good while doing it. XD

I truly love this!! Hey, I have a question. I recently uploaded a Transformers oc tribute video on you tube. But I feel it was rather lacking so I decided I would make a second one. And I would like to use this picture for my new video. Could I please use it? I really love it! All creators get credit in the end and I swear, cross my heart and hope to die if I lie, that I will not change a SINGLE pixel of it. *if you don’t believe me, watch my other video!! Go to you tube and type in β€œ161202scar” it will bring you to my channel and you can watch it there. (the next one will be a oc only tribute)*

that's interesting. i find mechs a lot easier to draw. i'm trying to draw an OC right now and she's turning out horrible. i had to turn to a friend for help, which i rarely do with art. lol
i love this drawing tho! what program to you use and where can i get my hands on it!

Armadria In reply to GertrudeFin [2011-08-04 17:45:27 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! I'm getting better with mechs; I have to just keep practicing with different shapes. It definitely helps to have different references to look at while you draw.

I just used Photoshop. Nothing too special. You could probably do the same thing with SAI or Open Canvas without too much difference.

Really great tips, btw. I'm struggling to draw my TFA femmes and when I can across your tips & pic, I'm useing them!!! May I pass the message along?

Armadria In reply to forestfairyunicorn [2010-01-24 00:15:12 +0000 UTC]

Of course! Feel free to pass them along any way you like. Those tips were just observations I made while watching the series, but don't think you have to be limited to them. Now that you've got a nice start, I'm sure you'll have no problem tackling some of your own charcters.

XDD Thanks!
Seriously, the high heels are really just for show, anyway. XD But I guess if you wanted to get all technical about it, even having the chest plate of a femme stick out would be considered kinda useless too. I think it's all for cosmetic design, anyway. XD But heck, I draw it like that anyway just to make her look curvy.

NeoNNerd08 In reply to Armadria [2009-03-03 05:50:34 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome! And I see your point about the chestplate, but you are right about it looking good on a femme.

Nice work on this OC! Her design is really original, but it matches up with the other Animated characters really well. Her anatomy looks great, and I love the huge rockets on her shoulders.

Thanks so much! Originally she wasn't supposed to be TFA style, this just happened to be the style I drew her in.

Those rockets are pretty schnazzy tho, aren't they? XDD
