Hey Im back.
Did some accuracy and form construction stuff and still lives while I was gone, also finished the dwarf illustration.
Im happy with how it turned out, but my ambitions lie much higher :D
Another thing I did was to do an accurate copy of a photo and then dissect and try to understand forms.
On this exercise I drew a basic front and site orthopetic view of the basic masses and then used the distort tool to place them in the perspective. after that I tried to draw the figure base on those 2 views. Then I added some other figures without the ortho guides to test my knowledge.
And finally one of the accuracy studies, lately Im using a 4 or 6 grid system to check for accuracy and a photo underlay aswell. I start with no guides, then turn on the grid to check for mistakes, try to fix them and measure by hand a bit. Eventually I turn on the photo underlay and check the mistakes that way. Rinse and repeat, this requires quite a bit of persistance to get right.
