Fedodika the Koala

[Fedodika]

Gliger: thats actually a really clutch observation, i would have never noticed that lol, now i see the subtle flatness of it so thanks :)

Beau: Thanks! im gonna get to a new piece maybe at the beginning of next month, im loving doing these longer figure studies right now, they help in many little ways, edge control, anatomy design and shapes, all that stuff is useful in building nice stuff from imagination and making it charming. Those itty bitty inches and curves in a human body or face can make or break an image

Baldgate: Thanks my man! uuh, a lot of it is thrown in with imagination, then i used reference and a dozen and a half critiques to improve it, if you go to the previous page you can see it develop. I used a program called anatomy360 for the hand on the left side of the page, it was a male hand so i had to paint it to look female. The other hand isnt referenced i dont believe, however the cloak, body suit, shoes, buildings, hair, and broken glass used some cues from reference. She is Raven from Teen Titans btw

Found a great page on conceptart from erik gist, lots of great old drawings from him to study,

Art: E.M. Gist life drawing/ Updated 9/20/10 post 196

Not like its obscure, just google his name and its at the top. Struggled at life drawing yesterday and i didnt have anything i wanted to upload, i struggled hard with a profile drawing and arranging values, i really need to study profile stuff more, i fucking suck ass at it, its weird alot of people say profiles the easiest, for me its the hardest!

Did some feet, and a copy of this drawing on pinterest, im not sure who the artist is, but i always loved this drawing and really wanted to study its beautiful anatomy and shading. Im iffy on my placement of some leg things but a layman may not notice, like the tibea's placement into the patella, and the gastrocnemius poking out the side etc. Ill look at it tomorrow ;) and leave it to ol fedo to totally not fit the foot on the page!
