Merry Christmas every one.
Anyways I have new drawings from my second commission. Just completed the whole project a few days ago actually just haven't had the time to post n such. But yeah all painted up.
Its the same little girl just in a slightly different pose. I drew lots of heads, a few bodies and a number of right legs just to get the position right
I really worked on getting the skirt height just right as well. You can see I goofed up a few times.
Of course the recipient will get her completed painting after new years. After the celebration craziness is done with and life returns to normal.
As always the drawings will also be in my Flicker account soon. 😺
Some polished drawings completed last weekend based on the conte sketches I made earlier. But since then I have taken those drawings and made a final with a few more changes of course. Some parts of these drawings I ended up not using after all.
Previous postings.
Its official. I got the a commission to do a portrait. And not just one, but two. Its of a little great grand daughter in a ballet pose at a wedding. Background optional, but I think its nice to have at least a bit of a background of some kind. I'll just painted it in light so that she's not floating in the air.
I already started the drawings on the first one several weeks ago, finished the second phase drawings a few days ago. (Those are more detailed drawings.) The final, going to finish those soon and then of course transferring the image onto a flat canvas for painting. I decided to show the original pic together with the finished painting at the end. Over all of course I have permission to show from the owner which is a rare occurrence these days.
The following are conte drawings. A series a rough drawings to show and figure out how the body should look and all that. To keep that looseness so that your drawings won't look stiff. I'm sure you've seen those. I could have just traced those but then you're then just neglecting yourself an opportunity for growth.
I drew heads mostly since I really had a hard time seeing the details on the little photo I was given. Yes I enlarged it but it was still difficult to see. As for that adult head, well I was a bit off the path there and it didn't look like a kid's head and so you know. ;)
The same problem with the hands. At first to me it looked like she was holding on to her dress but was actually just in the air as she twirled in place. Another difficult to see situation if you don't take a more careful look. As for the body, I only did a few drawings of those and had pretty much figured out how I wanted it to look.
The best drawings will be preserved on a online photo album. That I still have to update as well since there are a few problems with it.
Till next time. :)
New drawings of costumed people hustling and bustling. Kind of like you've seen at the mall. Only smeller. Haha You can find these drawings and others in my Life drawings area located in the animation section of my web site.
