slooowly getting better - ippinkorca's sketchbook

[ippinkorca]

Um hi!! I'm currently working on my Meet The Artist thing for this month, which I'll post full here maybe later when Its finished, but I wanted to specifically share the finished drawing of myself (maybe in my spacehey is where I'll post the full meet the artist if I forget to post it here and end up posting sketches and other works). I think its looking great, I didn't really think too much on the light source and I think you can notice it , I'm completely fine with feedback and corrections on anatomy or anything that any of you can notice needs correction if you want to share it, I would really appreciate it! I want to get better! 

I'm going to clean up a bit more the sketch lines and maybe play a little with more texturing, also add more contrast on the shadows of the skirt since I feel it looks a little, uhh, empty? not quite sure what is the correct word, but I hope you understand what I mean, same thing with the shoes.

Here is the drawing:

Hi ippinkorca

Ok first of all be confident when you present something when you know it not finish don't say it finish when you clearly say a few line later ''I'm going to clean up a bit more the sketch lines and maybe play a little with more texturing, also add more contrast on the shadows of the skirt since I feel it looks a little, uhh, empty? not quite sure what is the correct word, but I hope you understand what I mean, same thing with the shoes.''

It like presenting a homework to the teacher and saying yeah and when your done grading my home work i am gonna do the part i didn't do.

Take your time don't rush and it ok to call something unfinish we all do unfinish work and it not the best of what we can do and that ok. What important is you achieve what you set yourself to accomplish on that drawing. You can always draw more to find visual solution.

My first thing i would say to you is go study the ear a little more. You can also if you know the term gesture. Try to learn a little more about that so you can get character with great pose.

Do you have art resource you learn from?Book, video, channel blog,art class? If not i can point you to some for anatomy, character design and other fundamental.

I'll take that in mind, thank you! And aswering your question, I took some art classes in an art museum on my town (to specify: the class was for natural movement and portrait) but for now I'm learning by myself but I do own some art books that I use as reference and one of my friend's feedback since he's an art student and he helps me sometimes, I'm also subscribed to the weekly email from the artist LunarMimi (https://lunarmimi.net)
