Quick feedback on the construction,
-
Whoa, thanks guys! Never expected to get a positive response here
That's so heartwarming!
@aprilshin uggh, can't believe I've missed such an obvious tangent!
Thanks, good eye here! As for the arm's pose, I thought of that at first but it would cover my expression and I want to show some kind of supriese or embarassement on his face. Like he was caught doing something wrong. Thanks for the suggestion though! Those are always welcome -
@IgorWoznicki said in Quick feedback on the construction,:
usually don't struggle with hands that m
I really love the "line of action" of the drawing. Just a question, is he standing on his tiptoes? or is he floating?
-
I'm only a beginner, but I see so much life in your constructions. The lines are really dynamic and it conveys a lot of movement. Love it!
-
Ugh, I really need to leave ya all with more information next time!
Yes, @Maxi-Silva, the guy is floating
Gonna indicate that by showing a proper cast shadow underneath his feet.Oh, and thanks, @ShannonBiondi! I am really glad someone likes it at this stage
Spreading art and positive vibes!

@IgorWoznicki I agree with everyone else who's said that your construction looks lively and well-structured. It makes me want to see what it would look like after the details have been added.
I also like @aprilshin's suggestion for the placement of the hand - I feel like that change would further enhance your pose.
-
This is really solid (no pun intended hehe). Perhaps the only thing I could see is the bended right thigh seems to have the same length as the straight left thigh behind it. It's really not a big deal though. There's plenty of gesture and 3D-ness so I think it's going to look great!
-
Again, thank you all so much for positive reactions and some feedback!
I pushed the artwork further today and I intent on finishing it tomorrow, thought I will giva ya all on update!
You guys have done enough already but I dare to ask ya' all for some more feedback on this guy ( I quite like him, although I didn't at first! ).
As for what I've changed, made some slight adjustments to the leg that appeared too thick and moved his arm a bit closer to the face to further exaggerate the wiping his mouth thing. I still don't want to cover his face and expression, so I don't know If I want to push that even further.I am unsure about the hair I wanna go for. I think I like the flame hair the most but the bald one looks more like nosferatu hence more like a vampire...Ahh, I dunno, you can tell me your favourite!
Besides that, I am not sure about the perspective and construction of the bottle. I am also thinking about replacing the hip-flask with a bottle similar to the one he carries on the back. Also, I've lost the dimensionality of his right arm, I believe.
The clothing may change a bit as I go so if ya got some ideas, suggestions or pointers to make in that case, feel free to do so!
Spreading art and positive vibes!

I love the character and the pose. The line work is looking really nice as well.
I think it was mentioned already, and you mention it in your last post, but I do think having the arm a bit higher would help. It is a bit difficult to read here that he is swiping his mouth. Maybe you could also have a bit of blood dribbling onto his coat?
As far as hair, I like the first as I think it helps with balance composition.
I hope this helps!
-
@IgorWoznicki Omg I'm in love with the tattered clothing texture and the huge bottle on his back! For the right arm, I think if you reverse the direction the folds are going and bring his elbow out a little more, it may help bringing it forward.
Honestly I don't even know if that's any better, haha. For the hair, I do like the fire hair, but maybe it could be blowing in the wind like the hair on the left? Basically a combination of the two.
I love this character, by the way! And I hope you create a comic/cartoon/anything with him because I'd love to know his story.

@IgorWoznicki I would change the belts which holds the bottle, over breast like x would be ok for the bottle now, or if you like to have only belt in waist, ... forget it, I didn‘t see the breast belt...
-
Final update!
Though I will share the final result with ya guys :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes:
Thanks for all the help ( I didn't change all that much but it's still better than nothing! ) and encouragement! I am not the biggest fan of this one, it's definitely not at the top of my game and I felt like discarding it but all the nice comments made it much easier to push through it.
Ultimately, I kinda like the bottle which is funny because this sketch got createad after "I feel like drawing a bottle" thought popped into my head
Feel free to leave some extra feedback If you see something worth improving. I'd love to hear some more thoughts!
Oh! And @aprilshin, there is no comic/animation coming (unfortunately) but I can give ya my idea for the character! He's basically a vampire who used to be royalty (hence more elegant clothes) but he has escaped his birthplace after he was bit and now he just kinda strolls around the world, carrying a big blood supply in case he runs our of it during his journey. Nothing impressive, really!
-
This looks really good, @IgorWoznicki! The character himself, the bottle, the rendering, the composition - everything works, in my opinion. Nicely done.
-
@IgorWoznicki This is so awesome! Love all the details and I especially love the character's backstory! Thanks so much for sharing this with us!
