I tried to lighten this picture up, still appears pretty gray….sorry.
In this “contour drawing” stage if you look closely, you can see just how many lines I put down alongside a similar line….then erase. It’s the only way I know how to do it. I guess I could grid the picture out first, but I’m not really into making more work for myself. Especially since these are just for fun. As I continue there will be more line adjustments, I’m sure….always are.
LoViNg my ipad!! Especially for times like this when I want to pull up my picture (anywhere) and start sketching.
I started to flip out when I saw how small the back circular area is compared to the original. Too late to go back now, just wish I saw it earlier. I hope she doesn’t come out deformed, hopefully she’ll just be short-waisted.
Off to tweak my flips, now.
I do not know if my comment was posted. I will repeat myself.
ReplyDeleteCould you put a team logo on her back "patch". Reminds me of a cooking class I took years ago. I was learning how to make a souffle. "Never call it a souffle until you see what comes out of the oven!"
Seriously, Eden, shouldn't you be psycho cleaning getting ready for the furniture and my arrival?
I love to see your process, this is flippin awesome so far!!
ReplyDeleteThis is really good, Eden! I think it's great that you are doing this without a grid as the more practise you put in, the better and more precise you will become. I wouldn't worry too much at all about the back size...it still looks great. That's the one reason I would love something like an iPad or laptop....I would be able to open images anywhere which would make sketching so much easier.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you flesh out small pieces at a time. We can literally see the drawing take on life.
ReplyDeleteI think she'll be fine. Rather than a size 4; she'll be a 4 petite.
