Thread: InTruedHer- another Tornado step-by-step

Hey all,

Well, per request of a certain member here ( ), I was asked to make lesbian themed piece for part of my Trybe series. So, not wanting to disapoint her, I'm back at the drawing board

Since it was DV member inspired, I thought I might as well do a third step-by-step in the Artist's Corner. Enjoy!

Step I:Concept sketches:
Below are sketches I started off on. There were a couple different views which came to mind and as you can see, I was able to settle on one of them. However, as I was in the refining process, I kept coming up with small variations on the poses. Each seemed to have their own appeal to them (sexier looking vs. eroticism) - but I think I was able to narrow it down to one for the final. I might try doing smaller practice pieces of the other ideas I had.



The final sketch:



Oh, still not sure about the title, for now it's InTruedHer. I have an idea of what the setting and background will be, that could effect the title.

Oh good I can see one from the beginning.

Nice muscles.

That's so cool, Joe! You are so good at drawing the human form - and in your own way - that I could pick out a sketch of yours out of a crowd. I like the final sketch you decided on. Can't wait to see the next step.

Impressive sketches, how long have you been drawing? I always have a problem with feet when I draw people, whether they have footwear or not, and faces too.. actually especially faces heh.
Doesn't look like you do though, keep up the good work.

Thanks Burns - there is still something that bothers me about the last sketch: the way both arms are so parallel. Looks a bit stiff. I might go back and tinker with it, but I gotta work out the markings and background yet.

Ah, those are exactly the same two things I still have issues with myself - you just don't see the piles of other "sketches" I go through! Feet I've been noticing some improvement - but faces are a bitch. I don't know how these comicbook people get gorgeous and handsome characters every time!

practice, practice, practice, I guess...

hmm... maybe if the kneeling woman's arm was over the leg, rather than inside it... but then it would kinda block the breast. Honestly though, I didn't even notice that until you said it.

Very Nice/Hot. I wish I could draw like that... : )

Ok, yes, it's been a while since I've updated the thread. I'm off of work this week, so what do I do... work! LOL! Well, at least this is something I do for myself and enjoy. So... without futher adew (sp?)

Step II - test piece
Even though I'm calling this a test piece, it's really going to be a final piece to give away to that someone that it's "commisioned" for. I figure I'll do another version either different size or with some minor changes to the pose, so it will still be a unique piece. This will also help me figure out the lighting should I decide to do that "rays through canopy of trees" look and figure out how I'm going to do the textures and background.

That's hot, Joe

StepIIb: progress
Once I get the hair done I should be able to breeze through the rest (I think). I'm starting to chicken out about doing the whole rays of light thing - I just think it's complicated enough trying to see what's going on because of the markings and the pose.

The only criticism I have is that the shoulders on the left most figure are a bit too masculine set. Being a male, I have similar issues with drawing females, but maybe it was intentional (read;butch).
