Looking Up

Portrait work based on my improving face construction.

I recently started watching Mob Psycho 100. I like it a lot because it's more relaxed than a lot of other good Shonen titles. I'm a big fan of One Punch Man, so I'm happy to see more of the author's work. It also reminds me that art skills don't have to be technically groundbreaking to create something beautiful. I really appreciate that. I sketched out this image based on one in the show because I want to learn how to draw the head from underneath or even a little bit angled up.

Practice with the technique learned from the image above this one.

Breakdown. Part of the trick is to deform the pupils the way they appear when the eyes rotate, since they're a sphere. See how these are more oval than circular?

Another drawing based on an image from Mob Psycho. I like how simple this one is.

I recently saw Akira for the first time. Absolutely beautiful. I love the destruction. I also really like how the human characters are drawn in Akira. So I used some references and drew based on them.

Another drawing based on Akira.

Another character from Akira. I like the hands here.

I'm particularly fond of Kaori's design from Akira. It's so proportional and grounded compared to the characters I'm used to seeing.

Another attempt at making the character look as if their head is angled up. Expect more of this.

More practice I did of a character looking up while a had a few minutes at work.

You'll notice these are both done in pen. It was on some scrap paper.
 

God be with me. Thanks for your help with everything. I love you. God save me.
