a pencil drawing

Recommended Posts

I really want to love it, but there are some glaring anatomical issues you need to rectify on later drawings. I can tell you have pencil skill, and that your shading doesn't need much mroe help (maybe a little less open white space is all) but let me point out some issues here-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

+ The shading on his face. When you put on a hood, your face doesn't become black. If the hood doesn't go far over your face, you have slight highlights on your brow, cheeks, nose and chin. When the hood goes far enough out to block all the light, there is no need to shade according to the face is, but rather just darken everything within the blocked space. This includes the neck. The reason the black face looks so hokey is because you can see his neck right there, as if he's wearing a mask or thre shadows are afraid of his Adams apple. :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(The shoulderplate is near perfect)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

+(His) right arm. The bandages at his elbow would make it near impossible to move, but aside from that, they seem to be cutting off his circulation. Just above the bandages his arm bulges like a baloon. Bandages follow the musculature of the arm, so draw the arm first, then add the bandage so you can mould it on. Also, his arms are incredibly small.It looks like you began the arm where the shoulderplate leftoff, where in reality, the area right under the plate is apporxamately where the elbow should be. You have the elbow 3/4ths down his arm, and the forarm is sickeningly small. Also, his wrist is way to small, and his hands look a little pudgy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I couldnt possibly write this much on every imperfection, so heres a list

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

+He has a models waist, a goog cleave could cut him in half. Hell, a butter knife could cut him in half.. Huge muscle=waist

 

 

 

+His waist is too far down. Remember where I said the elbow should be? Thats where the waist should be.

 

 

 

+His legs are really short. Like really. Make them longer, and add a defined knee area. Also, his feet look like his in some sort of balleria stance.

 

 

 

+His muscels are way to segregated. Modestly hint where the muscles are, unless your on his breasts or something, you can make them a bit more defined than other muscles. But really, no one has muscles made of little squares with huge dark lines between them. On (his) left arm, it looks like he has random blobs instead of any sort of structure. I can't make out an elbow, but rather the 'random bubble muscle syndrome'. Like his other arm, that hand has a too small wrist and a too pudgy hand.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good job overall on your shading. :wink:

thanks godslayer on your enlightenment to this sketch but ill exchange some with you on why you found these anatomic abnormalities.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. the hood, i drew the neck before deciding that i would give him a hood instead of a bare face, and shaded it fully bc i didnt want to draw a face and at the time i could see that it looked wrong but i didnt even have a rubber which would explain the left arm as well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. i like the muscles as they are, imagine a warrior whos been fighting for hours, day after day in an epic battle against some of the fearsest monsters in the world.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. this was an hour sketch with many imperfections i could have fixed WITH A RUBBER but i didnt have one

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and most importantly of all i like it just the way it is and it was only a sketch to begin with AND I LIKE THE BANDAGES and i dont thihnk there tight enough to restrict circulation

I'm not accsusing you of doing something illegal or anything, just pointing out things to be avoided. Hopefully you can take what I said in consideration next time and not have me write in vain. :wink:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i believe i said thanks and didnt accuse you of making wrongful accusations against me, i simply explained why it wasnt simply " perfect "

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

if you didnt hear me the first time thanks... ive posted this on many boards and no one has pointed anything at all wrong about it, good eye but i cbf to change such little things, ill fix a few up when transferring it onto the comp. nonetheless ty

Check out a book called "Figure Drawing for All It's Worth" by Andrew Loomis. You have skill, you just lack knowledge. Both are useless without the other im afraid. I wish you better luck than I, though. Anatomy is a ***** to learn by one's self.
