More manga style stuff today, 90% from imagination; just looked at a couple of 'How to Draw Manga' PDF's to get some proportions and measurements.
Just warming up.
Trying out some hair blending; successful in some parts, messy in others. The hair shines don't have much pop, I think the gradation from white to dark is too spaced out.
Scanned this one at each stage since I was worried my hand would slip and I'd screw it up.
Turned out ok for a first attempt at a full manga figure from imagination.
Life drawing class today:
2 minute poses:
5 minute poses:
10 minute poses:
20 minute pose:
45 minutes pose:
I felt strangely melancholic after the life drawing session, wasn't that happy with my drawings but usually that doesn't bother me - maybe I'm a bit burnt out, over tired or something. I'm pretty happy with how my pen and marker stuff is going though; can only get better from here!
