Critique request on sketch
3yr
@epptain
Hello,
This is a sketch for a "draw this again" project, based on an illustration I did a couple of years back. The old illustration had similar, but badly excecuted perspective. This time I would like to nail the perspective and right proportions correctly before I start colouring.
He will stand on a beach, but is this the right horizon from this angle?
This half-dragon character is 6,5 feet tall and very skinny. He looks a bit on the short side still, I think.
Critique on perspective and proporions is welcome, and any other thoughts too. Thank you very much!
Hey epptain,
Let me start by saying this is a really good drawing, and a cool design. I personally think he looks pretty tall, and think you handled the perspective pretty well, looking up at him helps sell the fact that he is tall.
I do have some nit picky things I wanted to share with you, but these are very subjective, so don't think you have to do it the way I would, or even agree with my notes. I did a quick sketch over your drawing with the few things I thought about the drawing. I hope you can find some of it helpful :)
Hi Steve,
Thank you so much for your feedback and sketchovers and I am glad you like the design! Your thoughts on the clothing are a helpful guideline, especially the pants. Making them more "harem" adds clarity to the silhouette too, I think.
I like the more confident energy he is showing in your sketches with such little adapation. He is a bit of a careless guy, so his more "sluggishness" in my pose could work as well. I will think about the way I want to present him in this painting and try some things out. Thanks!
