Cacmypants Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I've been focusing on this particular character recently. [hide=Facial Concept][/hide][hide=Outfit Concept][/hide] Feedback please :) EDIT: fixed them up a little Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unknowz Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 The face sketches look pretty good! I know first hand how hard it can be to draw a face from the side. I think the main thing you should try to do now is to clean up your linework. There's a couple ways you could do that, but the easiest one is by scanning your drawing and then using a program like Photoshop to draw over your sketch. There's a ton of free tutorials on this exact procedure. Here's a good one : Thanks To:reddawn509, Hoopster211, JacobRyan, navyplaya, bigsword33, Ferahgo28, speedofsound, Goldwolflord, unknowz, GonAndGary and born2die Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cacmypants Posted April 14, 2011 Author Share Posted April 14, 2011 Yeah, the lines were a bit messy, that's because I near-max contrasted the scans to make them bolder (all-round bad idea, lol), otherwise I would have gone over the sketches in illustrator to clean them up. That would have been a lot easier to colour too, as opposed to hoping that the magic wand selector doesn't screw up. Thanks for the link btw. What do you find most difficult about side-on faces? For me it's the nose-lip-chin ratio. I guess that's what I get for refusing to use references. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unknowz Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I had a bit of free time so I did some sketching in order to figure out my answer to your question. I agree with you, the hardest part is probably getting the distances right (eyes to nose, nose to mouth, mouth to chin, etc..). I've included both the original sketch and a hasty paint over in SAI, and as you can see, you don't have to spend a lot of time on a computer to improve the image by quite a bit. Of course that might be harder if you don't own a graphics tablet.

Cacmypants Posted April 17, 2011 Author Share Posted April 17, 2011 Ah, ic, that's quite effective. I tried using SAI over another sketch, but it really is damn near impossible without a graphics tablet XD I'll have to look into getting one. It's a bit frustrating to be held back by hardware.
