SF&F Picture 18 out of 44 by Christina Joy Sanders.

SciFi and Fantasy Art: Wheat

Urg, this one is weird. I think I was trying to draw a pleasant-looking gril, not a pretty one but a nice plain one, you know, like the kind that the hero in a fantasy story would meet in a town, who'd have no bearing on the plot at all but to give you a feeling for the area. ...Or something like that, don't know. Anyway, I didn't use a scrap of reference, like usual, which means that while the shading is nice, there's that something that's always just a little off about it. I hate that little something, one of these days I'll figure out what it is and kill it, but I'm afraid I'm still hunting for it at the moment, and so it plagues me still.

Part of a tour:

Freckled Faces and Red Hair

I think it's her head that makes the anatomy unbelievable. when you draw one of those dumb little circle things with a triangle on the bottom, and a line going down the middle, and another across the middle for the eyes, it looks really funny. but, it's pretty correct. the forehead you drew on this girl is steep, meaning she would have a very long thin head. but, her head is pretty flat on top. so either the forehead needs to curve back farther, or the head needs to be taller. i hope you understood that. and of course i could be wrong too.
24 Nov 2005	Diamond	Loading... I don't know if you noticed this, but she appears to only have one breast. also, her wrist looks like it's tipped back a little too much for comfort
24 Nov 2005	FyreFaery	Loading... I love this, but I think the hand and wrist are a bit off. Looks a bit like "Man Hands" from Seinfeld...they shouldn't belong to a young lady.
26 Dec 2005	Marika Viklund	Loading... I think it's a very nice picture and very realistic also! The only thing that's not entierly realistic is the eye really. It's to big and "cartoonish" in comparison to the rest... maybe that's what's a bit off? Anyway, it's a fantastic picture and I like the colour!
29 Dec 2005	Jenntegt	Loading... I believe that little something is the arm. The face and neck and even the shoulders are nicely proportioned. But the arm and hand are a tad too large for the body. And the forearm isn't quite the correct proportion for the upper arm. I love your art so much, though. huggle.
2 Mar 2006	Ynive	Loading... There is some temptress in her.
14 Apr 2006	Jason Alan Braun	Loading... This is great. I love those freckles, and the nose looks just fine to me. Congratz on the mod's choice! I'm no expert at anatomy, but I think I remember reading that the top of the ear should line up with the eyebrows, and the earlobe with the bottom of the nose. Could be that the ear (though amazingly rendered) is just a little low on her head. The angled-down position of her head makes it look more like it attaches at her jaw. Just my two cents. I think it's a terrific picture!
28 Sep 2006	Lorelei	Loading... ^ would've mentioned that if i got here first... Great picture. Keep your talent.
15 Oct 2006	Stefany Costello	Loading... This piece is beautiful. I'd like to add it to a tour I'm creating. I'll let you know when it's finished; it will be called 'Freckled Faces and Red Hair'.
10 Mar 2007	Alianne Crow = Kaitlyn	Loading... O wow! The details are amazing! great job! Beautiful!
