Hi everyone, I'd like to share some of my sketches. The first is inspired on one of my best friend , other copy on comics and pastel dog portrait. Venom with copic is my favourite.
I put one of my recent drawing through the same digital cleaning process i do with my comics At least one person has said this makes it a misrepresentation of my art, but i feel like this is more in line with what i actually see when i draw it. The original photo is so dull and weirdly yellow. What do yall think?
I really like the faded look you’re going for @Patrick Long. I’d lean into that and try to draw or paint it directly that way. I couldn’t find the exact reference I had in mind, but I did come across a James Jean painting that captures a similar feeling.
Lately I’ve been trying to really narrow down a consistent character style and some of the results I’m quite happy with some others not so much. Still trying to learn how to draw clothes and how folds and shadows/highlights work on faces too but I’m quite happy with today’s attempt:) (also included some stuff over the last week). Would love any tips !
These are really great Bradley. Congrats. One thing to keep in mind with wrinkles, they usually radiate toward or away from points of tension and movement . You know, like the armpits, elbows, and crotch. If you think about where the fabric is being pulled or compressed, the wrinkle lines will naturally follow those forces.
I was attending a Comic Book School over 20 years ago and my teacher had us do one body part at a time. We start by understanding the anatomy, then tracing over images, then redrawing them without tracing but from memory. Eventually, we put it all together and that worked really well for us.
