yeah that's right... but minmay was the one riding with Hikaru to begin with right? or was there a swap involved somewhere... I'm sooo lost LOL.
BoB, I totally know what you mean about pencil. All my drawings have always been in pencil, since it's an easy medium to work in. For my best stuff, I switched to woodless graphite... the best!!
My best drawings of human figures were semi-traces. I'd trace the basic outline to get the proportions and placement right (the hardest things for me) and then go to town from there. It's not as easy as it sounds, really. I have yet to duplicate what I was able to do those ~1yr. between 2000 and 2001 . For some odd reason, I think it was because my mind wasn't in it. Everyone who sees my drawings says I really should pick it up again... It's not for lack of trying, like I said, I just can't replicate what I had back then. :(
Here's some linkage:
My first drawing, Aspen Matthews of Fathom
One of my "middle" drawings, again, Aspen Matthews of Fathom
The last of the "busts", Lara Croft of Tomb Raider
My first full body. Best picture I've done, IMO. Aspen Matthews of Fathom
My last picture. Sara Pezzini of Witchblade
This is the best I can do now...
I lost the muse that kept my mind from overthinking the details... Now I focus too much on the details and it just doesn't come out right.
