Double Sword Lady

This drawing actually started from the pose in "the stump" picture. I just manipulated the figure to stand instead of sit. Her arm is a little stiff. I should have relaxed it a little more.

I didn't finish it because I had already learned what I needed from the drawing. So now, it is on to the next drawing.

Chick With Sword

I don’t have a name for this one so, "Chick With Sword," will have to do for now. Most of my sketches are done on 8 1/2 x 11 paper. That size doesn’t leave a lot of room for detail work, but I can get a rough idea of how I want the character to look.



There are a couple of places that the anatomy isn't exactly right. I didn't really try to fix them. I don’t like to erase when I'm just sketching out ideas. I would actually rather start a new drawing than do a lot of erasing.


The hardest part of creating characters, at least for me, is the clothing. I've always had a hard time with creating the types of clothes they wear, making the accessories dangle just right, and I dont even want to talk about drapery. It makes me wish I had payed more attention in art class.



Still, drawing has always been fun for me and I want to continually improve. I welcome honest critiques and try to learn something from every drawing. Until next time.
