Drawing Update 8#

Its been a roughly a week since the last time I've drawn outside of Tom's lectures, since I decided to focus on the essay and finish it now, rather than worry about it days before its due. Here are the results:

30 Minute Drawing

I feel like my shading skill is improving. Perhaps only slightly, but still improvement over my shading work from last year. This was also the first 30 minute drawing I had done this year. I believe my line work in it is strong, and the shading effective. Although it is cell shading, I still feel its effective.

As you can see I am still focusing primarily on female models as we still have done none in the lectures aside from the one that fainted...then again maybe thats a good thing?

I also attempted to apply what I've learned from sketching to my character designs. I believe they came out well:

Although I had to look up more muscular models online to get the basis to draw these. I believe they came out well. The muscle grooves do seem similar in design to that used in the animated film Hercules, which I didn't plan. For a first go I think they're good. It also gave me a chance to try out adding clothing and weaponry. From these I will create more designs and improve my technique and apply more of what I learn to my animation work.
