Thread: Badassbob's Drawings

I went "above average," but don't know the original. Looking at it for what I can see here and no more, I'd offer this:

You have a developing sense of how surfaces interact. The center of gravity in the piece is off slightly, but that may be deliberate to create a sense of falling backward. The tensions in muscle and fabric are starting to show, but are lacking in the hands.

I have no idea where the light is coming from. That may be deliberate as well... but I would love to see this with more involved shading - both to help the modeling and to lend more interest to the drawing.

Overall, it is a fine job, IMHO.

But then I'm no artist.

Thanks a lot for your input, pj. Yeah, the centre of gravity is supposed to be like that, although in the original it is far more obvious so I can see why you may have thought this was a mistake. I agree with you about the shading and the light, I do have trouble shading pics properly without ruining them.

Anyways, thanks a lot pj.

Keep it up, Bob.

Do you have an artist's dummy? If not, get one. They are the best for learning to draw the human form... well - best only if you don't have a lovely lady or two who are willing to sit around in the buff with you for hours at a time.

You are welcome.
