Hoodlum's Sketches

[Fellow Hoodlum]

I found one of Tom's awesome sketches and decided to try to make my own sketch. Funny thing is, this is my first ever attempt at making a sketch without any tracing, and my 4th sketch ever. I actually started with trying to sketch Kat's left eye, and ended up adding details as much as the paper would allow me. Any opinions?

If the images are too big, I can resize them or just put links in their place.

EDIT: Latest version, some improvements in the breast/neck area.



Older version.



In the end, the only thing I had to fix was the thing i started from, left eye. Here's a pic of the original left eye.

This is actually quite good! I think the rightmost eye - Kat's left, seen on our right - is a tad too far to the side; It's reminiscent of KEY's face designs, of which there is one. It's not even as bad as that though - This is significantly less noticeable.

The other thing I'm thinking might be better is the way her breast slopes up into... her neck? It looks fine at a glance, but I almost feel like it should be coming up closer to the viewer, near her armpit or shoulder. That said, I'm really not sure because of the angle and position of the arms - Perhaps someone with a better knowledge (or more readily accessible archive) of anatomy can confirm or deny this for me.

That said, those are two minor things I noticed; This is still great! I think the forum would love to see more of what you can do.

Also, why not introduce yourself on the newbie board? It ain't mandatory, but it's a good way to meet the most present faces!

[Fellow Hoodlum]

You're right on both accounts. Tbh I feel like I made her eyes slightly too far apart in general, resulting in a slightly wider head (compared to Tom's sketch at least), and that can also be noticed in the right curvature of the mouth which extends somewhat too far to our right. Concerning her breast slope, it was covered with an apron in Tom's sketch so I omitted adding a line to fix it as I did not include it in my sketch.

Still, I think it turned out okay for my first try. I'll definitely try to make more sketches with time, and hopefully they'll improve.

[Myperson54]

Definitely. Like I said, my criticisms are only small flaws, especially if you're not an experienced artist. I look forward to seeing what else you're capable of!

[Fellow Hoodlum]

I made some major improvements on the breast/neck area(breast is now correctly over the body instead of behind and size slightly increased to match Tom's sketch better), but sadly I can't fix the eye. I'd love to move it slightly to the left and increase it's size by around 5-10%, but I doubt I could erase the black outline without leaving a horrible smudge.

[Myperson54]

I wasn't sure if I was right, but I do think this looks better. I wouldn't worry about the eye too much, personally; It's too much effort for something so small.

[Fellow Hoodlum]

You definitely were right, I checked some pictures and this is more or less how the anatomy should look from that angle.

[prototype99]

nice sketch would you do requests? (small warning, it may involve pokémon XD) the second sketch does look better though.

[Fellow Hoodlum]

I could give it a try I suppose. What did you have in mind?

[prototype99]

could you do a sketch of a pokémon called sylveon? I thought it might be interesting to see you do it, also sylveon :3

Holy balls.

This is really good. The latest sketch.. I...

There's nothing wrong with it. I seriously cannot find anything wrong with it. Even her left(our right) eye, I just..

Wow.

Along the lines of request, think you could do something you may not have a reference for?

[asphere8]

You say you're not an artist? Liar!

[Twippit]

Wow, hot damn. I'll be watching this for sure.

[Fellow Hoodlum]

Here's a drawing requested by prototype99. At least I think that's what he requested, I wasn't sure. Anyway, it's my version and it has some flaws, but hopefully my next sketch will benefit from the experience.

My first sketch without using a reference.

[FrogSteaks]

That's pretty good man, especially with no reference. It may just be me, but seeing that pokeball there just sitting open made me giggle, like she just popped out of it ready to go.
