I bet you guys thought I forgot about this runner, huh? It’s been almost a week since I last showed you anything from this sketch. Well, to tell you the truth….I was at a place in the drawing that I would rather avoid- Yep the shoes! Ugh!! Didn’t think I could do those shoes justice.
But with everything else that I’m learning about sketching/drawing….Compartmentalize! Meaning, I should break the image down. (As best I can)
When my sketch is done with the graphite portion, I like to outline the darker edges with my Copic 0.05 multi-liner in gray. I like the look that it leaves. It just makes things POP! The trick is…to know what you want to pop.
Here’s our Fitness runner (99% complete). I may have shaded in a bit more around the upper thighs and knee after taking this picture.
And here she is at the point of completion with the outline applied. Just a little more 3D, don’t you think?
I can see my errors:
- Back too broad
- Back leg…knee-to-foot too long.
- Possibly left arm could’ve been a wee-bit longer.
- Winged the hair….haha
- Winged a lot of those darn shoe contours….haha

A plus plus. You are your own worst critic! What a beautiful sketch you completed.
you did a magnificent job!!
Marvelous!! And i honestly don't see any of the errors that you listed....i'd say the only thing that bugs me on the drawing is the right arm and shoulder just look a little odd but you know i look at the sketch and magazine picture side by side and i see the runner arm and shoulder look a little odd in the photograph so go figure. Great job girlfriend! Hugs! deb
I think this is your best yet.
And dont take offence, but you have talent for butts!! Its perfect :)
@JP, Mary, Deb- Thank you guys so much for your nice comments and your encouragement here.
@Jo- you crack me up about the "butts"...but (haha) thanks :D
so talented.
I think your drawing is fabulous. I know it's important to look at your own work critically, but I hope you are patting yourself on the back too.
I've just started following and am impressed, especially by your putting yourself 'out there'.
