Pose Templates!



So I hit upon the idea of creating "Pose Templates" today, and made this!

Basically the idea is to do figure studies that I can then use as a template for when I do an actual character design. I could just start from the pose template, light box that, modify it abit or use it as is, then put clothing / armor ect over it right off!

My girlfriend does a more simplified form of this every drawing she does, just about. Eventually I hope to be as good as she is at this, and just do it on the fly. Until then, I figured this would be a great way to learn, and a good place to start.

More to come!

New things...




The underbight on the skull thingy is intentional. Not sure what he is a skeleton of, but whatever.

Warrior of DOOM! (extra skulls free with 2 or more)


Had a TON of fun drawing this one today!

I think things are finally coming together for me, which is extremely exciting to me.

More pointless sketchery...






**About the wonky hand above - I sketched it from my left hand, and kept moving it, so the perspective / proportions and such is very wonky. Also the thumb may be too small. But frankly, drawing my own hand, when I keep accidentally moving it (to hold the paper while I erase ect), plus my shifting perspective (since I'm not viewing it from exactly the same angle moment to moment) are the big problem I encountered doing it. I finished it mostly out of a "I'm not giving up!" kind of thing. **

(this area was full of lame emo crap, which I have removed for the betterment of all, rejoice!)

Painting Practice / Technique Experiment



Was playing around with painting techniques. I like how the color and line art interact.
Still searching for a style I really enjoy and am good at, but this was a neat experiment.
