#21

Hi all, well here is my last update on this sketch, time to move on.

David: Love the lighting in your painting!

Rebeccak: Where the CG go in your sketch? Well I might still have a problem with her waist…

–HI-RES VERSION–

Dark3D,

Hehe, working on a CG version. :smiley: Trying to keep a balance. :slight_smile: Better! You’re really doing a fabulous job at rendering!!! Keep up the good work! Hmm…funny stripe across the knee ~ but I know it’s WIP. The arms and upper torso look terrific. The hand might be a little too regular / even? Love the play of pink and green…I think filling the bkgrd with a neutral tone would really set her off. :slight_smile:

Cheers,

~Rebeccak

Wow thanks for all the kind word’s I’m quite flattered :blush:.

~RebeccaK: I’m an all round Photoshop guy, remember I come from the a (semi)background in the graphics design, so Photoshop was a natural choice for me. But if Ballistic ever plans to publish a PS book I might try out for it (I don’t really understand why theirs not one out already~ properly because we don’t see any Adobe ads anywhere :wink: …hehe<-- thats a joke by the way I’m not saying anything bad about Ballistic media I think they do fantasic work phew :argh: ). nice drawing by the way ~ could use a bit more detaling on the arms and head hehe.

~Spirit Dreamer: Thank. Im quite inpressed myself by how its turning out.

~Dark3D: Well you know I cant really take responsebillyty for the lighting, thats all Hong Ly. I just opserve, interpelate and paint thats all :).

~David René.

David, this one is fab! I love the colors, and I think you did well on the hair:) I´ll pull out a chair and sneek over your shoulder as you finish this one.

#30

Nice one RebeccaK!:slight_smile: I’m trying to tackle the same ref image and kind of embarrased at my progress.:blush: I’m trying out the method you suggested and still getting my head around Painter cause I love the traditional brush types. Keep em coming:arteest:

#31

WOW! Rebecca and Covax, simply stunning!!

#32

~SaraD: Gee thanks :slight_smile: don’t really see the point of you trying to learn anything form me thou. I’ve seen your paintings and they are fare beyond mine :thumbsup: . any news on the book~ did you make it to print?

#33

There are some funky effects on this due to scanning it and piecing it back together in Photoshop. In all, took me about an hour and a half which is the longest I’ve drawn one thing in one sitting for a couple weeks.

#34

Update:
Okay had 30 min. to spare so worked a bit on the back and her left arm. the highlight on the ribs is a bit of a headache :banghead: , still needs alot of work :).

David,

Beauuuuuuuuuuutiful!! :thumbsup:

My one quibble is that I think her torso (rib cage / pelvis) looks a bit small for the head, arm, and leg. I’m not sure because I’m not looking at the Reference right now, but I think you could enlarge the back area quite a lot and the figure would be in better proportion. I’ll definitely want to take a look at the Ref later and compare, but that is my basic sense of things at the moment. But WOW, really great work here…I’m very impressed! :applause:

Cheers, :slight_smile:

Hi RoboMonkeyModule, you’ve made a good effort to get the light and shade working in your piece. I would however, take a step back and study the human skeleton, having a good look at the shape of the bones of the limbs and how they join up with the rest of the body…this will make it much easier for you to approach the human figure.

15 Minutes + change, Photoshop: (done for the 15 MS)

#38

Didn´t think I would have the time to participate in this one, but - Dadaaaa! Time appeared from nowhere :slight_smile:

#39

Thanks Drawmonger - I have studied that a bit, but not as thoroughly as I probably should. I’m especially shaky on my limb bone anatomy and back musculature. Sometimes I lose the position of the scapula in all the bumpiness of the back.

Are there any specific errors that really stick out to you and if so, do you have time for a quick over-draw? If not, just pointing them out would be really helpful. Thanks.

corvax - I keep coming back to this page of the thread like a magnetic needle just to watch your study again and again. and you know why, don’t you…:smiley:
