Knight's sketchbook

[dimensional-knight]

And here are the updates. Check the post above for replies!

A bunch of recent figures for accountability. I realize the overlaps make them hard to understand after the fact. Trying to make the most from the dead trees, and I don't want to run out of pages before a new sketchbook for studies arrives.





I need to review anatomy to think up ways better to deal with the lower legs and feet.

Plus complete portrait/shading practice output from last week photographed with a potato.



And an unexpected WIP. I think I've never posted something in progress before? I'm not sure I'll finish it, I just got possessed by an idea and had to get it out of my system.

I happened upon a classic tail of 90s style Stardust cover by Charles Vess the other day and couldn't resist giving it my own spin.






The partial timelapse. This is still an exploration sketch, I need basic color and light to know where I'm going so I treat these as lazy color thumbnails, painting zoomed out. Once happy with the direction (not there yet, lots to solve) I flatten them, repurposing as a color base for the artwork.

I took a practice sculpt as loose ref to try to give her rounder and gentler features but movie Yvaine is leaking into the piece, and yes, the canvas was resized once already.



(and this, ladies and gentlemen, is how you end up so bad at legs)
