Description Stock Image is [link]

This was a quick sketch (~20 minutes) where i decided to actually use a photo-reference for once. I used the astounding work of [link] as the baseline for this and tried to sketch him out nice and quickly rather then my usual tedious and nitpicky fashion. It is completely unoriginal on my end of things, but it is one of my better pencil sketches of a figure.

It will probably be scrapped, i just don't know how soon that will be.

All pencil and paper + eraser magic, as i only used the GIMP to fix the contrast/brightness/edging which my scanner screwed up originally.

As Oni-Neko already stated, you should keep in this direction.

Knowing how to sketch properly, to let your hand flow and decide how the lines draw themselves will do you wonders. In time, you will be able to better master the art and will then be better prepared to let your imagination flow.

Keep it up!

Suppose so. I also probably shouldn't keep making decisions on the next great thing i should work on art-wise after doing a whole one example of the last great thing. I have only done a single sketch from a photo-reference. A couple more would likely be useful before a tackle living models.

And i am soo unready for proper creation of inhuman critters. Hell, i can barely get proportion on humans right let alone angels/demons. I need to figure out a good way of turning a figure into the requisite geometric bits.

Stick figures.

Seriously, the base of all (well, most of them) character drawings are essentially glorified stick figures.

I know, i need to improve my stick figures and the shapes around them. Oh well, that is relatively easy to work on.

Thanks, as per usual i am noticing all of the errors in it but i do appreciate the feedback. I will indeed do more in the style.

At the start of a new process errors are common, if you keep practicing those will lessen.

Aye, though it is also the bit of the self-critical artist that affects things too.
