Edge of Something

I wasn't originally going to post this picture because it still looks like kind of a mess. If I had the inclination, I would scan it into Adobe Illustrator and clean it up with the line and brush tools. But then someone encouraged me to put it on here, so I have! 

It's more of me trying to figure out more unique and extreme perspectives. This one is a little stiff, but it is extreme. It communicates a story.

This picture was done with a video reference, though not a drawn reference. I wanted to practice the head shape, body proportions, and hands. This image is based somewhat on Ginny Di, the YouTuber. She does a lot of videos about Dungeons and Dragons and tabletop roleplaying games in general which I like. She's had some good advice about how to be a less selfish player that was helpful to me.

Practicing a new head shape. I messed around with the colors of this image because you can totally see the previous picture through the paper. Whoops. Anyway, hopefully this new method of head construction will help with different angles. I need to work on the chin.

This was a drawing I did in class without a reference. It was inspired by the 2022 game Sifu, which is a truly beautiful martial arts video game. I can recommend checking it out. 

This is another picture I made today with the new head construction. It was also done with a photo video as reference. You can still see the other drawing poking through the paper. Oh well. The drawing is modeled after Jenna Moreci. She does videos on YouTube about writing which I've found helpful. She's also very funny.

This is a drawing I did in class of the titular character from Astro Boy. It was just based on what I could remember. I've compared my drawing here to the actual model, and I was way off. Apparently he has ears? And a real nose? Weird. I also made the hair too pronounced. Looking at my drawing, I almost think he looks more like Jenny from My Life as a Teenage Robot than he does Astro Boy.

God be with me. Lord have mercy on me this week and always. I love you. Amen.
