Dominicque's Sketchbook

[Dominicque]

Awesome updates!  The poses in general work very well for a majority of them and fit the subject matter very well.  Regarding feedback, I'd maybe try to push your values and lighting a bit more for a more dimensional look, but great work otherwise!

Hi CG, thanks for stopping by! I enjoyed this project, but was so glad to finish it. I've had a good response from the fandom, so that's good. This project was also just a way for me to get more comfortable with using coloured pencils, rendering clothes and expelling the fear of using reference. I drew a picture of Cody Fern that I've quite happy with. It took me 2.5 days and I found it quite relaxing. I think choice of paper and slowing down and/or using light layer seems to do the trick. I did that all in on go, rather than busting out all the sketches and then rending it out with pencil (and applying pressure on myself to finish ASAP.)

Started to experiment with more 'conceptual work' after some posepack studies. It remains to be seen if I'll continue this or move on to another version. Just remining myself to have fun and not everything has to become a finished piece. Have fun and explore! 

The reference pic cut off at the end, so I had to 'fill in' what I thought the body looked like beyond 'the twist'. I think it looks off, any redlines/suggestions let me know.
