What can I improve?
June 30 Sketchbook Pages Challenge Day 7
I am happy with the pose and the objects around the character. The main problems I'm seeing in this piece are proportions.
Firstly, the head is much larger than I intended, and it makes this character look like a young girl when I was going for a lady just getting back from work look. I had already drawn a face I was happy with and the hand felt believably placed on the head so honestly I couldn't muster the willpower to draw the head again at that point.
I also think the left arm's above the forearm (do you call that an upper arm?) is short, and I am unsure about her right arm's proportions. I did spend some time fixing things in the construction stage, but I got hasty and did not double check when the figure was fully in, I actually extended the length of her right forearm by enlarging the elbow, and I think that helped.
I could use some tips on dealing with proportions when dealing with dynamic angles. The one tip I already know I need is to fix all these problems in the construction stage!!!
Thank you!
