Re: Project Yuna!

[(Anonymous)]

Hi! Good on you for going for it! I, too, want to improve my art, but I keep procrastinating on it and never getting anything done. XD;

I have two suggestions for you, though!

One, is that I think you may be stuck drawing symbols for facial features and such, rather than trying to draw what the feature actual looks like or how it really works. It's an easy thing to do, because the human brain loves symbols, and especially loves things that look like a human face (that's why ;) can look like a winking face!). I think one of the ways you can help avoid that is to take your reference image and flip it upside-down. It confuses your brain into seeing the image as just lines and shapes, rather than trying to turn it all into symbols.

The other is that you may be getting caught up in the details too soon, and missing the whole picture! You might want to try doing the whole body first, but just breaking it down into shapes and trying to see it three-dimensionally. The head is basically and ovoid shape (face) intersecting a sphere (back of the head). Limbs are connecting tubes. The nose is a pyramid. That sort of thing! It's easier to put detailed features onto a person once you have a good understanding of the surface you're putting them on to. (Though that doesn't mean it's easy. I'm still figuring out how to properly shift heads around and draw features well from different angles, haha!)

Best of luck! I hope you stick with it! :)

Amazing, amazing stuff!! Thank you so very much! Great advice, and I love that you can offer an explanation as to what I'm doing and why. That's fantastic.

You're incredible!
