Description [UPDATE]: (May 13th 2016)


So it looks like this old sketch is about to come into play...This is one of the characters I'll be drawing next for the contest. In a different pose, though, since it's harder to read what's going on in the outfit with it moving like that. It'll be part of the example of her fighting style, though. This is about a year old, yet not quite so terrible. It's definite proof that I do faces differently in traditional, though...gotta translate that somehow. I actually kinda like my traditional face style better than my digital one...>_>

Either way, here's more of some of the older deviations of her that have been up the whole time. Her design, an entire 3D model, (though the final renders were unfinished and without the armor parts), and a closeup of her weapons. I'll be drawing her in a more reference-like sheet and possibly including some of this on here, especially from where just the clothing is, (like with Eiyan.)




(Old Description - March 31st, 2015)
I suppose the rougher it is, the more time I get to spend tweaking at the linework for hours and hours. I still haven't quite gotten that part down. Either way, for this being one of the first times drawing her face, I think I did pretty alright. As far as attempting a dynamic pose, I try to do it every Friday, and finally this one looked sorta alright. Can't wait to iron out the details and finally have some of the first artwork of my own characters, (aside from an amazing friend who drew her out of an affinity for the design,) and I'm looking forward to drawing them more.

Thank you! Although by this point, I feel like I've cornered myself on time, so I might not use this sketch for a while. XD

Although thinking about it, I could probably do better now. XD

Obvious improvements within your abilities, or just things you can see?

Voleno In reply to Redblaze27 [2016-05-16 02:41:59 +0000 UTC]

Little bit of both. Her proportions are a bit too tall for the character, and her hips could probably be adjusted to where the legs come out at a more natural angle.

I really like this. The way you conveyed motion and her expression are good.

Thank you! Hopefully it still retains those qualities after the digital version is done. :3

Very nice.  I really ought to practice dynamic poses more, mine are always so static.

Voleno In reply to PuddingValkyrie [2015-05-12 16:39:50 +0000 UTC]

It's definitely fun to find references and practice replicating the shapes in them. A pretty useful video I found on just practicing it by itself without reference was this , though. It's not necessarily about dynamic poses, but it certainly helped me not be quite so afraid when trying to foreshorten things anymore....and it hasn't worked entirely yet, but it's melting the ice off of that fear.

Very cool. Well you will get good at it! I like Walcoms but my computer at home doesn't really work so i cant use it anymore because id have to buy a new program but when I use to use it I loved it! I'm glad you do too and I hope you get more time to experiment! Good luck!

Have you ever used Walcom? Or a tablet! I feel like that would be great for you, plus you dont have to pay for paints or canvas ^_^

Voleno In reply to TouchedbyLavender [2015-04-29 17:19:13 +0000 UTC]

I've had a tablet for a few years now, though I'm only recently (this year) actually using it and getting used to it. At the beginning of the year, I enrolled in a digital painting class as well, so I've been using some of the larger Wacom tablets at school, as well. On occasion, I've been allowed to take them home, as well....and that's usually when I go stream with it, since it handles better than the small one I already have.

But yeah, that's what I mean by "certain drawing tools". What I'm after is the Cintiq so that I can draw directly on what I'm looking at. To be honest, I've never really enjoyed using real paint, so when I mention the style, I mean using some of the painting style brushes in Clip Studio Paint or Photoshop. Or Paint Tool SAI, but I feel like CSP is better.

This shows great action, the face is nice, have you ever considered coloring this in? Great job!

Thank you! It's certainly on the backpile of sketches I intend to complete after this week and on into the summer. I might be waiting until certain drawing tools become more readily available, though, just so that I can give it the attention it deserves. I wanna practice coloring more things in general before I get back to this one. It seems like it would also be a cool one to do a sort of brush stroke-y, painting style with, as well.

Thanks! I totally winged it with trying the foreshortening on the knife, so I'll have to check it in Clip Studio Paint later with that perspective grid thing.

Thanks! If you look closely, you can see all the times I tried to change it...XD

I still might end up doing something else with the right arm at the top, there, but digitally. :>
