Kanna Endou Take Two

 

This is my second go at drawing Endou Kanna from 20th Century Boys the Manga. This time I used a reference from the manga as well as my tapered lines. Then I went back over the drawing with my mechanical pencil. I still got her proportions wrong and I should've used my mechanical pencil for some of the finer details like her mouth and eyes, but I'm pretty happy with this technique. 

God's will be done, now and forever. Amen.

Tapered Lines

 

So today I was practicing gesture drawings, and I decided to look up what tapered lines are because I've heard that they're important. So I learned what tapered lines are, and I drew Jin from Avatar: Last Airbender with them. It's not a terrible drawing. I need to practice this more. 

Happy Sunday, God. I love you. Have a great day.

Vacation Drawings

 

 All the images I did on this post were during my most recent vacation. The two images above were inspired by thinking about medieval tomb raiding and the dangers of toxic gas inhalation. So I drew the characters with medieval clothing. I've also recently watched a video about how to fake detail, so I tried to practice that on the background of this picture. I didn't get the perspective of the coffin exactly right.

Swordsman with gambeson. The perspective of the sword is still not as good as I want. I'm going to need to do some studies.

The above image was inspired by Akira. I was having a hard time with eyes that day, evidently.

Thank you God for everything. I need you all the time. I love you. God's will be done for my art. Please help me to get better. Amen.

Blind Drawing

 

I did this drawing a few days ago with my eyes closed. I opened them a few times to check my progress, but almost all of the actual lines were done blind. Charmingly, it looks like how my drawings used to look when I had my eyes open. There's something nice about that. It's nostalgic. 

Something else funny is that it looks like I have more line confidence with my eyes closed than I do with them open. I might need to practice this more in the future. 

God be with me. Lord's will be done.
