Painting 273

In my previous full body portrait post I focused on accurate rendering by painting light. This time the focus was mainly on color choice and texture.

I tried a different drawing method to create a line drawing from reference. It worked but I wouldn't do it again, must have been at least 2 hours to get accurate line results for something that could probably be done in 10 min. I still had to refine the shape a bit after the line stage as sadly it was still a little off :'(

I'm not very good with hair as its not something I normally make, but I put a bit of effort in to try and get it better. The results are definitely a step up from my usual but still nothing great.

Overall satisfied with the results. Its one of the stronger human anatomy based drawings I have done which I would not be ashamed of putting in the portfolio for now.

Want to improve my line drawing abilities, specifically blocking in shapes with line so I can do more from imagination rather than needing reference to solve visual problems. Edit: Sadly TN's image compression has significantly degraded the image
