Sketchbook of the S4MURAI

[S4MURAI_CAT]

Long time no see !

I had to abandon the lovely Crimson Daggers forum a little because of a number of small problems and responsibilities. But now, hey, I'm BACK baby! All this time I have not abandoned drawing... Honestly !  ;p



Of course, I didn’t devote as much to drawing as I would like, but still...Aaand my English didn't become any better...Well, it is time to improve myself ! No time to waste !










First things first, I'll put some "clean" sketches. Just to show, that I was drawing for 7 years !

















Just joking... I really like anime style but those anime EYES are driving me crazy ! They seem to be so simple to draw that shouldn't be any problems. And as soon as you start drawing them, all sorts of nonsense comes out. So, if you don't know how it works, then deconstruct and reconstruct it, create and experiment ! Which i did. A little..















By the way, speaking of deconstruction and reconstruction. I took the same pose and did 2 drawings. In slightly different styles. I am learning how to draw portraits. And important task for me is to learn how to manipulate with shapes.




First, I simplified the "classic" head shape in order to understand what to pay attention to. And did a note for myself what to remember.




















Then I drew this :









After, I took the same shape, but changed the proportions :








Here  some notes:











Oh! And if you are interested how I drew hair or simplified other stuff, you can download a TIF/PSD file from my PATREON page. It's completely free !

Everything is drawn on different layers. So it will be comfortably for you to see everything for yourself.
