No worries :slight_smile: Yep, I did the arms kind of quickly ~ I was trying to show that the fingertips would brush about mid-thigh ~ so I think it would be cool to extend the length of the arms just a bit more than you already did, to make the figure a bit more believable.

>Getting to work it over right now. Thank you!

Awesome! Like I say, these are just my 2 cents ~ this isn’t the Lesson thread, I am just giving my opinion (as always) :slight_smile:

>She really looks like a marvel hero like this, neat. :smiley: Are the legs you drew stylised or are they how they look?

I tried to stylize her legs a bit ~ I like the way you drew the legs, I think they just need to be a bit shorter. I will never tell someone how to draw stylistically ~ it’s too personal. Mainly I was just trying to get the thigh to be a bit shorter :wink:

>I always thought the leg had to come into the knee(inwards, inside :rolleyes: ). They look pretty straight here. And should the knee cap be in the middle or the outer side a bit.

The way I drew the legs, it does look a bit more straight. Your drawing does show the legs turned outward a bit more.

Good luck with your finished drawing :slight_smile: Definitely post it! :slight_smile:

Hi jm, looking good :slight_smile:

Sittin here trying to see what I can see, and I just noticed; If I hinge my elbow straight up, I can knock on the ball at the top of my humerus/shoulder joint with thumb, I mean the natural curve/swing passes through there. How does this track against her proportional upper and lower arm? Maybe the upper is a little long?

Check it out maybe, best of luck :slight_smile:

Edit: hrm hrm hrm, the gloves are really throwing me. I think probably you should ignore this crit on reflection. Apologies :smiley:

Thanks again Rebecca, very good suggestions, I haven’t got around to fixing everything I’d like yet. :blush:

And thanks Augh…:slight_smile:

Well here’s the latest WIP, the two lines down below indicate the heel level. Arms need work and possibly the legs too. Allthough I’m fairly attached to them , heh. :rolleyes: simply WIP because I’m going out for the night… :cool:

Any comments most welome. :thumbsup:

jmBoekestein,

Hey, I think you’ve done a great job refining your Orthographic Drawing, and I appreciate your taking my and others’ comments into consideration. It takes a lot to amend a drawing as nice as yours, so thanks for being a good sport about listening to our various advice and comments :).

Here is what I think you’ve done a great job on ~ as per usual, take this with a grain of salt :slight_smile:

[left]Overall, I think she looks more proportional (relative to an action character). Again, thanks for taking everyone’s advice into consideration! I hope to see more of your work! :)[/left]

Well I really appreciate the advice. She looks a lot better now, says it all I guess.

Thanks for the great help :D. I found her some footwear now and will be switching over to the side and back view soon, lol. I’ll be posting updates on her as I go. I’ll keep it concise don’t worry. :smiley:

You give great advice! I’m having good time. :slight_smile: The improvement is obvious. :bounce:

#26

Wow, great, I’m glad the advice helps! I was worried there would be a ton of posts going, nah, looked better to begin with :smiley: ~so I’m glad you are happy with the changes.

Thanks for the posts! I look forward to seeing more of your work! Choose the shoes wisely, my friend, wisely… :stuck_out_tongue:

EDIT: Did I write “more better” in my review? Jeez, I need to go back to the school for the Grammatically Challenged…:rolleyes:

#27

HI again.

I started work on this one again, and plan to finish her soon so I can finally start trying some things in 3d.
I thought I’d post a little update since the feedback has proven quite useful so far. :smiley:
Thanks again.

front and back view this time. I changed the legs a bit.

#28

jmBoekestein,

What, hey? I was just on this thread collecting images for the “SPOTLIGHT” thread, and I notice you just posted new work!! Either that’s a cool coincidence, or…I’m just downright psychic!!! Cool beans, I will take a better look at this when I can! :slight_smile: Nice…a** :scream:

~Rebeccak

#29

Cool, that’s weird… :surprised

Well, I’ll be waiting.

:blush: hahah… uh heh… the a** yes, thanks… :smiley:

#30

OK HERE ARTE AS THEY SAY IT MY TWO CENTS, her neck seems too long but that is because her head is just a notch too small, try resizing it for a few percent, it will mean a world of difference and will remove the african rings round the neck effect ozherwise a kickass lady:thumbsup:

#31

Ok… :surprised, I’ll just have to try that then. I just dopn’t see it myself, heh.

Thanks :D!!!

#32

jmBoekestein,

I prolly won’t be able to get to your image til tomorrow sometime. :slight_smile: ~Plus, oddly, from home I can’t see it. Sorry about this…if it’s urgent, you can email it to me at the address listed on my website: rebeccak4@gmail.com.

Sorry for the hassle! :slight_smile:

~Rebeccak

#33

Wow, no worries Rebecca. That’s perfectly fine, no such hurry. :blush: Very big thanks for the offer though. I really appreciate it.

And don’t worry about it, it can wait really. It was a figure of speech… sounds odd :surprised

#34

Lol, thanks jmB. :slight_smile: From what I saw of it at work, it looked awesome!!! What was all that nonsense you were writing on another thread about ‘not being able to draw’? That’s insane, lol!!! :scream:

~Rebecca

#35

Well… y’eh’ no… :surprised… ok I can draw.

I tried freehand painting a while back… that didn’t uh… go as expected. I’ll get the hang of it though, it’s like swimming, you don’t learn untill someone pushes you in the water and makes you. :slight_smile: Lol, I’m keepin at it anyway, great fun.

I’ll post it in your anatomy workshop too. :slight_smile: It suits the topic.

#36

Ok the plan for now is to move the shoulders a bit upwards and thereby shortening the neck. I think this’ll work best because the rest of her body measures up in the 8 heads guides, for the better part at least.

#37

jm,

Right now my main critique would be that her bottom is rather enormous in comparison to her upper torso (rib cage). Relative to the rib cage, the pelvis is about 1/2 the size or even less ( in terms of height). I think the shoulders look a bit narrow and the head a tad too oblong…

But the drawing quality is pretty sweet! :thumbsup:

~Rebeccak

#38

Hmm thx… The head being too oblong is a problem since it will seem more narrow with parallax effect, I’ll probably widen it a bit.

I stole somebody elses reference of a body here on cgtalk, I hope that’ll help. Looks like you’re right on all accounts.

Thanks. I’m going to look into it now, maybe keep some things I’m not sure. I want it fiished relatively soon, but better do it right though. :slight_smile:

#39

jm,

Hey, good luck with this, I know you know what you’re doing…please post your updated results, should be really cool! :thumbsup:

Will do! :slight_smile:

I’m going over the reference now. Upper part of the hip is definitely too wide, that creates the illusion of the undefined areas looking smaller, I should try and add more shading effects to her.

Will keep you posted. :slight_smile:
