I think because I've been trying to practice human faces lately and I thought I was improving but when I did these last night, I was struggling. These took too long and still look cartoony and stylised, it's really something I want to work away from.
ha.. i hit that wall every couple of weeks too. I think I'm doing well then I can't draw for crap... then it comes back, and goes... :D
ReplyDeletepractice will make the inconsistencies fewer and fewer.
I still don't see it.
ReplyDeleteThe lighting looks good, and tis probably the lines. Too thick maybe. Try working with just values as you would when painting.
Thanks for the feedback. I hope you're right and it comes back Carl! I guess it's like anything- you have good and bad days.
ReplyDeleteYeah that's true Ed.. I think I really need to work out a consistent process for myself actually. The lines are probably a result of me drawing as I go rather than laying down the forms first and then focusing on rendering the shading.
