Description Eltanin returns in this mostly step-by-step guide on my drawing process for standard Toa. This is my first serious drawing guide; usually I just draw different parts of the lineart of my drawings to differing levels of completion at different times.

I wish to pass on my knowledge to others.

This is how I learned to draw Bionicles! I usually do a more 'humanized' style with the Toa Mata though, so this is more my style for Toa Metru.

I've been thinking about doing one of these for years. I always love seeing an artist's progression, and it's even better to see an updated Eltanin

I use extremely basic forms of this; Can confirm they're reliable techniques and steps to drawing stuff like this

One of those wooden pose dolls would be highly useful especially with their ball joints

I never used those (partly because all the ones i did get were shit), but yeah they work well as visual reference for proportions and poses and shit

Most excellent. Thank you for sharing this.

I shall make an attempt to draw some of my characters using this method.

Hopefully. I've genuinely struggled with drawing bonkles, so this'll help at least experiment with different methods.

I like your armor style: the detailed vents an creases give it a clear Bionicle look and texture without just straight up copying the pieces, and the organic bits underneath fit right in.

Llortor In reply to Scorpion-Strike [2016-06-21 23:27:36 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, the point is to be a definite visual divergence from the original without losing any of the concepts

I mix together a sort of Miramax/Set look with various other inspiration including Gundam and TF

I did always love the way the Toa looked in the Miramax movies... that vibe's definitely there.

This might actually help me draw a fuckin Bionicle right for once, because goddamn I haven't managed it before.
