Quick sketch of a model from a sale on the Dell website (which I can no longer find). Roughs in pencil, sketched with a Pilot V5, no rendering to speak of. Let’s see how I did:
Not entirely terrible, and I’m getting better at overall proportions in the face, but I am consistently tilting faces – this time roughly 3-4 degrees – and the further I get from the face the worse the proportions are. There’s no way to line up the hat and the face simultaneously due to the tilt, and I completely lost the script on the arm angles, though the outlines of the arms aren’t entirely terrible.
Reflecting on the past, seems like the angle of the page is less important for the squashing phenomenon than just paying attention to distances, as this was a sketchbook-in-the-lap drawing, and by consciously looking at the sizes of things (and using construction lines) I kept it together.
Welp, more work to do on the broader landscape – and that dang tilt.
And with this, my posts have caught up with my drawing every day.
