Thread: InTruedHer- another Tornado step-by-step

make the finger that's visible be her thumb, instead of her pinky, so that shes resting on the back of her hand

If I'm interpreting this right that sounds like it might be painful By back of the hand, you mean like the top? Like making a fist and resting knuckles on ground?

Ah, this could work if I make her hand facing forward - maybe I could try that. Her hand would no longer be doing what it was though

And I love the way you do those crazy-ass tree limbs/vines.

Heh, it's actually quite theraputic working on stuff like that - I just sit there and zone out.

Ok, more sketches:

Step II: refining
Still tinkering with the arm but I think I'm close. I got one more concept I sketched out last night which could be the one. This one is from the night before.



Also working on some hairstyles. I was watching Honey the other day (shut up, Jessica Alba was lookin tight in that) and her girlfriend in that movie had some pretty long-ass braided hair. I thought it would be neat as as a texture (kinda sexy too). As for the other chick, not sure I'm diggin' the short hair. Might just have to go bald on her - I don't know.

I was looking back at the concept sketches, and I really like the one in the middle on the left. That one looks very natural and graceful. I'd keep that one in mind for another one sometime.

Well, originally, I meant something more like this:
(Crude sketch with the Wacom tablet. Forgive the sloppy(shitty)ness. )


In this, her weight would be more on her right arm, than her left, which wouldn't make it that uncomfortable. BUT, in going for more of a caress than a poke; maybe you could raise the wrist area some so the back of her hand (in that, I mean the opposite side from the palm) is facing forward, toward the other girl's heel which - like you said - would have the girl-on-top's knuckle area pointed more at the ground, somewhat matching the curvature of the other girl's crotch.

Love the braids, btw.

Fantastic work, and I'm not just saying that because of the naked lesbians!

Your smilies say otherwise, Cusp.

Ah, I see what you mean now, O. That's more like the girl sittin on the palm of her hand... hmm I definitely like the arm bent like that at least.

I got one more version I'll post when I get home. It keeps the arm straight - just changes the hand.

Ah, good eye, Moonbeam - that was actually the original pose that started it all. I liked it alot as well. What ends up happening a lot is that I'll start out with a gesture like that, then loose some of that gracefulness as I start refining the drawing. In this case I ended up changing the pose because as I started to work out the detail, I realized that the figure was actually out of proportion.

Sketches always look better because our minds will "complete" something that is only suggested and not necessarily there. It's kind of the same way that one might find another person sexier wearing something skimpy rather than completely naked - it's the mystery of what's hidden beneath the fabric.

Ok, two more concepts regarding that @*&! hand! LOL



While I'm kinda leaning more towards one on the right, I'm starting to think that maybe this part of the drawing is a bit too erotic. I like it when it's noticed sort of later on, like Burns did. Or even if it's ambiguous enough for it to be interpreted differently by the viewer.

I see what you mean... yeah, I guess it'll depend on how much you want to "give away" rather than have the observer discover it on their own. It'll be good either way since you're the artist, but I think more subtly is sexier...
