| 26 Jun 2009 |  Trish Harold | Loading... Thank you for commenting on my sketch (O.C. facial study).
I haven’t drawn like this in a very long time, so I’m a little out of practice. I am interested in improving my skills which is why I’m here.
As far as anatomy;it’s a little odd. I know where everything goes, but I need to know more about what lays underneath. Trying to find sources that cover all that I need to learn, but don’t get too technical /medical has been challenging. If you have any suggestions, that would be fabulous!
You have wonderful expressions and figures in your gallery,beautiful work definitely. The colours are and I love the way you do hair!
I admire people that have a realistic style; I realise that I need to find my style and voice. I am inspired by some sources, but I don’t want to copy.
Thank you again, for teaching an old dog new tricks!  Lena V. Bazhenova replies: "I would definitely recomend Andrew Loomis. He was a very well-known illustrator around the 80’s, and he’s written several how-to books. He has one on how to draw the face and hands where he talks about anatomical structure (bones&muscles), and it’s easy to understand. Some books do use a lot of technical terms, but his stuff is great. I’ve found it to be very useful and helpful, and you can download the PDF version of his book for free right here -- http://www.scribd.com/doc/240339/Andrew-Loomis-Drawing-Heads" | |
