this was meant as a 15 minute sketch but took quite long to do. i used all 15 minutes doing the face, and when i realised time was up, spent another 10 minutes doing the hair, body, clothes and some touch up. i think the face is a little too round, but otherwise i'm quite happy with it.

practise for eyes. this was quite fun. all these eyes belong to ayumi :P

ah.heng,

Very nice studies! :thumbsup: What you might think about trying next is a set of drawings of noses, and then perhaps eyes, ears, lips, etc. Try going for a realistic vs. a manga style...I think you will push your skills much further that way! :)

Cheers, :)

[ah.heng]

thanks for the comments :)
yeah, i realise that my style leans very much towards manga too and i'm trying to correct that. hmmmmm. correct isn't really the right term, but yeah, i want to do realistic drawings. i had quite a bit of problem with the lips for the above picture, any pointers?

my lips usually tend to look swollen.

[Rebeccak]

ah.heng, :)

Try blocking in the lips with short, straight lines, vs. trying to draw them with curves outright. I think that if you find the general shape first, this will help.

Cheers, :)

Stahlberg's tutorial details how to go from grayscale to color in digital painting. I recommend this method to all beginning painters. :)

a little update.

this was really old, but it fit the topic.
http://www.project-h.per.sg/img/gesture/g0000.jpg

for this, i sat around on a saturday night and observed people. but there weren't much intersting poses to capture, so i stopped after half an hour.

Hi...Heng....:)

I like those gestures you just did from life...think if you do a lot more of them, they will
for sure help you with the drawings you do from your imagination.
Go to a place, where people are doing things that you like to see, maybe a karate studio, or some other place where there is action that inspires you, and you'll probably get
into their gestures more....IT'S a great way to learn..action...:thumbsup:
Looking forward to seeing more gesture drawings...:)
TAKE CARE
Glenn

[ah.heng]

thanks for the kind words, glen.
i have a regular drawing session with some friends, i'll suggest that to them he next time.

[CalvinChoy]

Nice gestures, lots of dynamic feeling in it. I like the drawing of ayumi most, it got a nice anime feeling and still looks like the reference !
