Description   Hello DA! Time for one of my older works. This one hails from as early as april . I was trying to practice some male anatomy here and did it while drawing Summer.

  Summer is generally cheerful person and an attentive companion, but despite those traits, he has a darker side to himself. He has become very skilled and knowledgeable in the arts of humanoid anatomy - for the sole purpose of interrogating prisoners of The Brigade (a mercenary company most of the characters being posted belongs to). Now we might not consider that to be a very nice thing indeed, but he has managed to extract valuable information on more than one occasion and even used his knowledge of anatomy to save wounded friends in battle. 

  As mentioned, this piece is nearly six months old, so have mercy while scrutinizing poor Summer

   Summer takes his duties seriously and has command aspirations. He can put in a good word for anyone willing to help out, granting a bonus of 100 Brigade Reputation Points, this prize requires a Copper Key to unlock. He has no Arcanite, Golden or Silver keys. You can have one Copper key though.

I really like what you did with anatomy here, so accurate. But I specially look the determination on his eyes: look, apple, I have to do this, it's you or me. 
Great job on the details of the jeans.

Thank you, I liked the jeans as well, it surprised me how nice they looked with a few simple tricks. I was thinking to fade the jeans at first, but then decided against it

His body looks awesome
I'd say his head is a bit off tho.
His jaw seems rather low compared to his skull.
And although his ears are not like human ears,
his jaw being so long makes that his ears seem to high up if that makes sense

Thank you! Absolutely, as I said, this picture is 6 months old and I did not want to dig into it all that much. I like to show older pictures and hopefully show some progress for comparison . But I did dig up the reference I used (that took a while) and fixed it up - the issue was the ears as you mentioned, too back and high up in the head, It made no sense. Oh younger me, what hath though done

References are a good study but also can trick you in getting lost in what you see.
Especially with human bodies and faces as there is something in our mind that automatically adjust what we see to what we think to be seeing
I know people turn their references upside down to truly see what the shapes are
Maybe that's something that would help to keep an objective view for you.

Thank you. I'm trying to use reference in good measure - just as a guidance, and then experiment with light, anatomy etc. Sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn't. I don't think that copying reference 100% would satisfy me(nothing against folks who do that though, it's subjective), it would always create just a faded copy of something that already exists . Sometimes when I stare at reference, or my work, it feels that I am the one flipping upside down.. . I'll try it out next time I use reference.

haha ye I can't copy simply either XD
I actually hardly use any reference at all
I just make things up but if I do I simply use it as an inspiration
You could also keep turning the reference as from different angles, different things will jump out in being inspirational.
And when drawing/painting, flipping around your actual work now and then will make that you have a more objective look on it.
Things might, or probably will look off when you look at it in other ways.

Yes, I have started flipping my work at least horizontally a few months ago (not when I was working on my older work like Summer). I find it invaluable as it tends to catch things that don't maky any sense and helps to catch errors in anatomy and shading alike. I haven't tried to turn my pictures upside down though

A to jablko čeká jaký osud? Nebo je to úplatek, či se snad inspiroval Sněhurkou a je kvalitně otrávené?

Osud jablka je uz zpeceten . Je to pravdepodobne jeho svacina, takze jed bych tam nehledal. Summer ma ale velkou cernou brasnu, a v ni ma jedu spoustu
