From life.

I have two drawings to share today. One of them is an updated WIP of an earlier drawing I posed, and the other is a digital life drawing.This first drawing is just an updated version of the SciFi drawing. I fixed some of the lineart between this version and the last time I posted, also, but I don't know if anyone will notice. Anyone other than me, obviously. I moved Anya's head so it's further back, so it doesn't look like she's sticking her face out all awkwardly. I also rotated Aaron almost entirely--everything except for his feet, which were flat on the ground to begin with. Now he's not falling serenely onto Matthew.
I tried something new with the eyes in this one. I actually gave them some life. This is the first time, with this style of face, that I have done anything with the eyes other than making them a flat, solid bit of color. I'm really happy with them so far.


This second drawing is my life drawing, obviously. I have a skintone set for photoshop that I downloaded off of DeviantART a long time ago. I've wanted to try digital painting for a really long time, but never really had the chance to. I know I'm not ready to do it without a reference, at the very least.
I'm pretty proud of this drawing. I know that it isn't the best drawing ever or anything, but I feel like it's a solid first try.
I haven't put this one up on DeviantART yet, though, cause I don't want to embarrass John. A lot of mutual friends watch me, and would see it. But I'm pretty confident that no one other than him reads this blog, if even that many.
