Brandon
Hello everyone, I am a student taking the Drawing Basic course. Now we are moving on to the value section. Just before all those complicated things are taught, I once again try to come up with a character and apply all the things I have learned so far. I also watched some anatomy videos b4 this drawing
Could you please critique based on 1. interesting? 2. Anatomy? 3. Perspective? 4. Others, like proportion? Coz figure is complicated, and I want others pt, of views.
Thank you very much
Hey Brandon,
I like the concept of your drawing, very surreal. What I noticed is that the torso is too short and the head is too big. Also, you need to have more foreshortening in the limbs, especially the legs. I did a sketch to show you what I mean, I hope it helps :)
initially when i was drawing, I was thinking about what if I lose my arms like kids in the Israel, and still want to draw so desperately. And now I can see some of the perspective errors that you point out, Thank you very much.
This looks really cool, and before I say anything I want to mention I'm far earlier into the Drawing Basics course then you are, so my opinion may be less valuable. I really like the line weight for most of the drawing, and how the brush obviously has hierarchy over everything else, but to me the sheer difference in heaviness between the brush and the foot make them look disconnected. So I would try to add some sort of flow and ease into the heaviness in the brush's line weight. Of course line weight is subjective so if you think it looks better that way then that's also fine!
I read your comment 2 days ago already, and keep thinking about it. The line weight of the brush could do it in a more subtle way. It might be my tendency to be so straight forward for line weight, idk. I will try to figure something out. Thanks a lot. Let s learn together in the basic course.
