Hello,

This is awesome, I love the originality in this also, Most people do the stock images, this is how you draw a person, It is nice to see somone do it in their style… Can’t wait to see more. would love to see how you do monster anatomy too!

I agree with most everyone here that the tutorials are very well written and your skills are quite adept, but I see a few things missing from your instruction which will end up being a pain point for people learning from your style.

You have stated how important anatomical correctness of the face is. I think you are absolutely correct, but I feel that there is a slight shortcoming in your enforcement of proportional correctness and functional existance within the remainder of the body.

Your instructions are of course meant as a general outline for the materials presented and not intended as one on one instruction, and after reviewing your tutorials up until now I fully believe that you may cover these necessary facts as the material you are developing progresses.

I also have reviewed several of your pieces of work and have been very impressed at your level of ability. I can’t wait to see if you present information on how you develop your environments for your characters…while most of your environments are secondary to the character, the image composition as a whole exists well and provides believability.

Thanks for your hard work and willingness to share,
Benjamin

whoa thanx everyone,glad u find it usefull,more comin
thewave yeah i know what u mean by proportions, but i have learned that sometimes the most obvious way to point at sumthin is to slightly stylise it but its a point well taken, but i kinda rely on rebecca and a few others to properly teach anatomy…they know their stuff. mine…is all a product of my thoughts and alot of observation.so if i was to try and go teachin anatomy…it would end in chaos lol:beer:

#93

ok i enjoyed this tutorial on a deep personal level… because for some reason i could never get concept art to look right… thanks for the great tips!!

#94

Wow, dude, this thread has just renewed my faith in drawing comical characters (I have always leaned more towards realism), especially with the head drawing which shows the flaws in my design is something extremely helpful.

Maybe you can help me with this, but I have been struggling in the design of a child. Mainly for things like faces and bodies. Do you have some advice for something like that?

Thanks. Looking forward to more of your tutorial.

#95

Nebezial thank you so much for this! I have been searching for so long for good tutorials like this…and the tutorial of my dreams is right here on the cgtalk front page…who would of guessed :stuck_out_tongue:

I dont know if you were planning on doing more on comic characters, but I am really wanting to get a better grasp on comic drawing. So could you do more on them? please :smiley:

Thanks so much for putting this together!! :wink:

I understand completely what you mean when you say you are leaving the anatomy instruction to Rebecca…she is very talented and having Burne Hogarth and other masters as instructors or inspiration just makes her stronger.

You observation is very keen.

I look forward to you presenting more information on the way you develop art.

Thanks,
Benjamin
