Didn't get a chance to work on my gnu comic this week. Wanted to
show you this sketch study I did yesterday. It's a little more sophisticated
and a little stray away from what I normally do. If you have been following
my blog for a while you know my style is pretty versatile. I know that is
not necessarily a good thing in illustration and I am trying to stick to one
or two looks. This being said, I just really love this girl.
If I were to do a final illustration of this I would revise the composition.
I was just sort of playing around when I sketched the first girl, then thought
it would be cute to have her pull the balloon down and hold it. So,
to fix the composition I would flip the first girl to face to the right, in
most cases it is not good to have character facing toward outside of
the page. She maybe should be moved down a bit too, to be across
from last girl. I would also flip last girl so her face and foot point to center
of the page. Tracing paper comes in handy to work out compositions.
Showing through the dress you see the lines of the torso and body.
I had a little trouble sketching the angles of the legs, so I used an old
trick I learned in fashion drawing. Sometimes with clothing it is hard
to figure out where those angles are, so just lightly sketch the torso to
help you sort out how the legs should face in accordance to the body.
Bear with me on my posts. My ideas and mind are going a mile a
minute and it's tough to keep up with it all. Last night a craving for
caffeine almost sent me to hospital in panic-while drawing this I ate
like 20 chocolate coffee beans. Chest pains afflicted me all evening.
Warning, take coffee beans in low doses!!!
Be careful with your heart. *u*
