Short illustrator Sketch

Featured Replies

C/C would be greatly appreciated, I dont know if I want to clean up the lines, I like the way things look when they're sketchy :P

It's ok right now, nothing really amazing about it but it certainly works. The shading needs work, I see you've done some but really not enough. You should probably choose a main lightsource (And stick to it).

 

Try to make your drawing as simple as possible. Merge the sketches into simple shapes with few nodes that can be easily manipulated at will- Not only does it make it look better, but gives you more flexibiliy instead of having to change a whole bunch of stuff just to change the outline color.

 

There's also a problem with the anatomy of the hand holding the baloon, but I think someone else can show you how to fix that better than I can.

Does the shading on the bottom of the shirt look right? I wasn't really sure... :oops:

Depends really. If your light source is a few feet away from him, it's ok. But seeing as he's floating into oblivion, the light source is most likely the sun, which is slightly farther away. Which makes so that the shading is pretty even in all areas. Here's what I mean. Say you have a light source a few feet away: (The big red thing)

With the sun, it doesn't work; Where's the shading on the right side of his shirt?

It really looks to me as if you've had trouble with the hand holding the balloon.

 

 

 

The best person to look at for anatomy of your hands is yourself - study how you clench your fist, or how you position your fingers and implement that into your work.

 

 

 

GL, keep going.
