Traditional Art / Drawings / People

Tweaked the version in my Scraps, flipped it, added tone, gave it a better title.

I kinda wonder about my work when I make so many changes digitally that the end result is significantly different from the original. I made a lot of adjustments to her posture and dimensions...

Anyhow, I'd still refer to this as Traditional, even with all the Digital elements (the tone, the tweaks). And hey, now you can definitely tell that she's wearing pants.

Let's see now... red and no.2 pencil on sketchpaper, Photoshop tone and composition, resolution 400dpi at about 5.75x7 inches. Est. total time about 3 hours.

love the pose!

Can't believe I haven't faved this. I saw the pose a bit differently in the thumbnail- maybe sometime I could get permission to do a similar piece with a pose inspired by this one?

I love this. The best part is not seeing the character's face.

The twisting of the torso and forshortening is excellent. You really know how to create a sense of space and movement.

OMG that is an awesome pose! so well done and drawn!!
i love the anatomy and her over-all design

~aeon-of-sorrow Aug 4, 2006

heh, an awsome representation of that tital; the combination of that pose and the thin slash mark on the ground combine to create a great sense of motion... or rather, a stillness post movment. i think the line on the ground is most effective in conveying this what whith the way the floor seems to have sparked at the initial point of contact.

the choice of pose and the fact that it's 'shot' from the back make a most effective combination since this side of her really shows off your comand of annatomy what with the twist of her spine and sharp angle of her shoulders.

if i'm to gripe about anything, it weould haave to be the lower hand. the line work on it dosn't seem as clear cut as in the rest of the picture. while this gives a kinda spiffy out of focus look, the fact thatt he blade of the sword, which is set even further back within the picture, is carved out of the same sharp line making for a somewhat confusing effect. the fact that the hair's outlined with a kinda wooly line that's thicker makes me think that you're using your lines to express texture and while the head works, i'm not so sure about th\at area of the pic.

the belts hanging from her side do a great job of echoing the flowing curve of her body and do something to breack the sense of stillness and anticipation hanging over the peice. that can be put down to the raised arm. there's something really taunt about it, as if it's poised to lash out at any moment.

Heh... I rarely put as much thought into it as that.

One of the things you're seeing with the line quality is just the fact that this is a rough sketch that's been spiffied up with some color... it's pencil, but not what I would consider "presentation pencil", to there's not so much attention paid to the lines themselves as might be when I do a full illustration in pencil or ink.

Thanks for the in-depth feedback, though... it makes me go back and take a review things with a more critical eye.
