Secret Project

I've been working on something that I can't tell you because I've been keeping it a secret from my deviantART friends, and that wouldn't be fair!

But I can tell you this much - it's a book. BUT ABOUT WHAT OOOOH

I've nearly finished the pencil sketches, except for Tia's bit and the ending sequence. Here are some previews of what I have so far ( click for bigger ):

Tiny Asian Girl

I tried to draw a petite girl but she ended up looking like... a regular person.

I always end up with the best anatomy when I DON'T want it! BLAST

I don't usually put this sort of thing on the site.

Except I'm very proud of it so just humour me and admire it. c:

This is my character Acton, one of many characters shared between Petar and I. He wanted her naked.

Have at her!


EDIT:

Here is the original sketch. I kinda like this better than the final product...

B.Steam

I love Bea!
Petar originally thought of her, but immediately hated her and decided to give her to me. I, of course, drew this to make him jealous and regret ever having given her to me.
He and I have adopted her as our daughter. Our insanely sexy steampunk-burlesque daughter.

Since drawing this, Petar has strengthened her personality so she's batshit crazy. Think The Warden from Superjail....

jealousy.

I don't know what happened... I am NOT the jealous type.

...Really.

Since having drawn this, it hurts a lot less to talk about and I'm pretty much over it. Now I just laugh about it.

Skirts.

Girls are so much more attractive in them.

New Markers!

My Petar friend gave me a 100-pack of pretty new markers to play with this Christmas..... for this I love him dearly.

Well, I mean, I already did, but

Orea ( the one on the left! ) is his.

Kyler and Acton

I drew them at school! Because I have no time to draw on my own anymore.....

I love designing people. C:

Miss Jenny Magenta!

EDIT: I ended up inking it, and colouring it on the computer! Don't forget to click on it to see the little details. C:

The sketch of a drawing I've been working on for my friend Jenny's birthday invitation...

If she likes it I'll be inking and colouring it shortly. C:

LOOKIT MY MANS

See, I told you I would practice!

I found it difficult to find good examples of OVERWEIGHT men, so here are a couple of MUSCULAR and SKINNY men. I know it isn't much... this was mostly to get an idea of what kinds of shapes are in male figures.

Not very many.

I want to draw giiiiiirls......

THINGS I NEED TO WORK ON:
- Shoulders ( especially when connecting to the neck )

- Abs ( they don't quite look natural... maybe play with shading a bit? )

- Biceps, etc. I've always had trouble with that part of the arm...

Let's figure this out.

I've recently noticed that everybody I draw.... are the same person. Every feature is the same! Every arm, every leg, every eye, nose, mouth... So I decided to fix this.

I have drawn the three most basic groups of people - women, men, and children - to try and figure out where things have gone wrong and strengthen my weaker points.

WOMEN

With each practice page I have started out with face shapes. Faces are what I draw first, and what I'm best at! I have always found women easiest draw, but making their bodies look different from one another is way too challenging. I definitely need work on petite frames.

MEN

....Needs some work. Again, faces are easiest to draw, but the bodies! The problem is, they are way too simple. The more detailed something is, or the more shape there is, the easier I can grasp something and work with it on paper. Men will be a challenge.

CHILDREN

Children I found to be the easiest. I usually never draw children, so this came as a wonderful surprise. Ahh, the 90's... dead birds and curly shoelaces.

In the end, I figured out what I needed work on:

- Legs. When standing still, legs are very hard to draw in a natural-looking position, and the thighs:calves ratio I've always had trouble with.

- Torsos for men.

- Petite frames for women, plus women with healthy body weights. I have become used to drawing them as toothpicks. I sure as hell am not rail-thin, but I am not obese either. How can I find the balance there to make a realistic girl rather than what people seem to want to be?

More next week. C:
