Trying my hand at human form again..

ambiirae · 8 Jul 2021, 20:26

Hello all,

It has been around a year sense I have really even attempted to draw anything human but I know I gotta learn at some point so I spent a bit of time doing some rough sketches this morning of different action poses. What do you think about what I’ve got so far? Later I’m going to try working on specific things like hands and feet… and heads lol

i think they look great so far... well done!

Great studies are you doing the timed poses or just spending as long as you wish on them? I've also been trying to get back into figures and posing and trying to keep things really basic just so I can get out as many as I can and to then try integrate them into a random character.

Looking GREAT!! Keep going for sure.

@Gary-Wilkinson I tried doing timed ones at first but I think because it’s been so long and I was already nervous I just couldn’t so I just took my time on these ones I will probably try doing some timed ones when I feel more comfortable

Looks great and nice action poses!

@ambiirae These are looking awesome! Humans are so difficult to draw, haha. Keep up the good work

Continuing to work on human form this mornings focus was on clothing and trying to bring in my painterly style from landscape art. This is what I have so far

@ambiirae I like this! I find getting natural folds and shading in clothing tricky. Fine if I have a reference, but hard when making it up.

Working on a character for our D&D game please let me know what you guys think

Back at it with these darn humans I am attempting to get a realistic skin tone but also a painterly ish style.. here is my latest attempt please let me know what you think.

@ambiirae I think it's looking great! I like the smooth blends from light to dark; really adds that realistic touch

@ambiirae I think it looks Beautiful! However, I can see that the nose is a bit wonky. Unfortunately, I'm not that great at drawing realistic noses so I don't have much suggestions to give. REally sorry

@nyrryl-cadiz looking at my reference it does appear that the left nostril is a bit off I’ll go back in and adjust that! Thank you
