I was studying grey blue herons today since i usually see them around my local lake and love miyazaki's films! Whilst doing these studies, i put on a peter han sketchbook tour for background noise, so that influenced my studies a bit with the observational notes and texture blocks and such. I also did 3d rotations, and even tried to figure out how the wing folded in. On either one of these things, how'd i do? Please let me know so i can push my drawings more towards that peter han skill level sort of direction!

Eternal Fight of the Wicked Part 2

Im the same creator of the OG drawing in the figure drawing section, I just decided to throw the drawing on a sketchbook app on my phone and play around with it. Feel free to critique it some fun ideas to play around with.

Feeling lost with values

I tried to create an illustration of Ichigori Ryu in a rain of dessert and I feeling quite lost when the rendering part came on. Like how do you choose if you need more contrast on the skin for example or less. It’s not finished but I would appreciate some guidance

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!

FIgure drawing

Which version is better constructed? I want my figure to have a downward-tilted pelvis and for the contrapposto to be visible. It seems to me that the first figure has more volume, but I’m confused by the fact that the front plane is higher on the side that should be lower, which is why the contrapposto isn’t noticeable.
