Anyways…. I tried. To draw this, I copied a picture from one of my books. No, it wasn’t one of those step-by-step instructions, but still this isn’t entirely original. Oftentimes I find myself picking up drawing books and imagining myself creating artwork just like the author’s. That, never happens. But, I’ve realized that’s alright. As my art teacher says, personal style is the most important aspect of being an artist. So, books are helpful, but shouldn’t necessarily be used as a model for style.
Also, here's another recent drawing.
Nice! I like the hand, and the lighting on Ana's hair. Along the lines of hands, I thought you might find this interesting: http://muddycolors.blogspot.com/2014/02/a-show-of-hands.html
ReplyDeleteThanks! Hmm that is interesting. In the comments, he mentioned a future post regarding hands, so I'll have to look out for it.
DeleteCool. Modeling realistic hands is hard, and I can imagine that drawing them is hard as well (probably even more so). And the picture of Ana is great--you definitely got the pose right.
