Good to see more work! Sorry, my comments are going to be kind of spare for this Workshop since I am in the last 2 weeks of the CGWorkshop ~ but I’m definitely excited to see everyone’s participation! 
Slux,
Looks like you’re working hard as usual. Glad to see you here! 
Vidar3d,
Nice start ~ do you plan to shade this piece?
Mr. Mu,
Don’t back out on us now! Everyone here is supportive, believe me.
Cheers,

Mr. Mu,
Don’t back out on us now!
Everyone here is supportive, believe me.
I won’t;) … if your remark is because of my “edited…forget it” - I could not the see the sketch of the previous poster and said so, but for some strange reason when I watched the page shortly after it was there and then I edited out the text.
I have a question, though: it says figure drawing and I wonder wether my painting the whole thing was a bit too much?
I don’t have a scanner and use artweaverthe pencils of which I am not too comfortable with, but in case I overdid it I would switch to those tools.
Mr. Mu,
Gotcha, thanks! As to painting, that’s totally fine, we’ve even had one person do a 3D model! So no worries, you are free to use whichever medium you choose.
SaraD,
WOW! You are incredibly fast! This is beautiful…very nice work. Are you planning to paint any of the other figures? That would be awesome!
Cheers,

rebeccak - wipes forehead …ah that’s great then…
SaraD - when I opened the pic I could not help sighing “oh, how beautiful”
I´ve started one of the others as well, but I have a question - since I only have a restricted amount of bites to upload, is it OK if I start to link to my own webpage instead of uploading the images?
SaraD,
Nice! This piece almost looks 3D.
Great stuff so far…very impressive!
Cheers,

Just a quick update as to my progress. Trying to incorporate some of the elements from the various shading tutorials Rebeccak has posted. More to come.
Vidar3d,
Nice progress here! Nice basic blocking in with your values, and I think the hard work of fine tuning / refining those value relationships and the drawing itself is next on the agenda. It’s great that you’ve kept the rendering for the entire body at the same level. It’s a good idea to bring everything up at once / work the painting as a whole. I think the thing you should look out for is making the legs too big (thick) for the body / head. Additionally, I would recommend sketching in the arm that you can’t see ~ just guess at it’s shape. This will help with the placement of the hand eventually.
Great stuff! Look forward to seeing your next update.
Cheers,
~Rebeccak
Well here is my try, worked on it for about 5 hours, which is pretty long for me. I am bad keeping focused that long. Keep jumping on the video games too much!
Dark3D,
Wow, I think this is one of the nicest pieces of yours I’ve seen so far! Really beautiful work, I wish that you would do more extended pieces like this! You’ve really nailed the expression in the face…the legs are a bit more sketchy, and a bit short / thin ~ but the upper half of the torso is killer. Nice work on the fan, as well…not diggin’ the tree as much, but overall this is a really great piece! Hope to see more of your work along this line!
Cheers,
~Rebeccak
The finished piece is now on display

C&C as much as you can!
SaraD,
Nice! I think the legs look just a bit short / small for the upper body. Watch also the axis of the head in relationship to the axis of the body ~ it looks perhaps a bit off / tilted to the left side of the picture plane. It may look different when hair is added, but probably best to adjust before adding hair. As usual, your rendering is beautiful! Any chance you will be working any more on this?
drawMonger,
Nice! You’ve really captured the face and the overall pose quite well. I think it just remains to refine the body, making sure not to make the legs too small. Overall, really cool so far, and thanks for including the progress sequence! That is always cool to see.
Cheers,
~Rebeccak
Thanks Rebecca, here is the next version…fixed the legs and refined the body and hair.
SaraD…i love what you’ve done! it looks like a 3D rendering!!
drawMonger,
Wow, this is really coming along great! :wavey: The improved legs make this look sooo much better! Nice work!! I would say the next step is to really get the colors to sing together ~ right now, she really looks a bit pasty ~ and her skin is in reality super light ~ so the trick will be to give her skin a luminescence without making her look like a ghost. Ever seen the paintings of Malcom “Skip” Liepke? I’m not suggesting you imitate his style, but take a look at his color combinations ~ he’s great at combining muted reds and greens.
Great stuff so far! :arteest:
Cheers,
~Rebeccak
