I have been working on a drawing of Longfin for Icemoon, but when I saw her new Tide, I was inspired to use that character for marker practice. Touched up in Photoshop because several times I grabbed the dark blue marker instead of the pale blue. I'm too impatient. *sigh*

This is gorgeous.
At the risk of overstepping myself, you can make it perfect by darkening the lower edge of her right forearm to draw more distinction at the elbow. |

I think you are right...accurate shading on that arm would have helped a LOT.
Unfortunately my knowledge of form/light/etc goes right out the window when I'm fumbling with a new media ^_^ Must keep working on it. (And you can't overstep yourself with me and critique. I've a pretty healthy skin.) |

These extreme perspectives are a real challenge. I love how you so often have these dynamic POVs, Foxeye!
True, shading that arm will help but the real problem here is that Tide's right hand is the perfect size for being right beside her face (hands being approximately the same length as the face it tall even for elves). Yet it is supposed to be coming out at us in the perspective. This is why I often do preliminary sketches of difficult poses on vellum first. That way I can lay the sketch over another sketch of a box/rectangle in perspective. At different levels of the body insides the box, you can use the box to decide how enlarged that body part will be in relation to what is further away. Does that make sense? |
