August 9th: How about a little colour? Busted out the tablet and the PSE a bit, and used some super photo ref to put together a monochromatic 1680x1050 background. Click for full size.

'Tis the way of Deviantart. Fanart or GTFO.

That gives me an idea for a sort of social experiment with DA. Create two dummy accounts, one for original art one for fanart, update each with equal frequency and quality of work. See by how much the fanart account gets more followers.

If you would have colored it and titled it "Shego" I'm sure it would have blown up ;)

Aside from that I thinks its a fantastic piece. You did an excellent job capturing the emotion of the figure.

Shego art is worth serious money.

@ Gusto, I like this stuff, but stop keeping with the pace car and push yourself to do better. Hone the craft, and pay attention to the anatomy. You absolutely can do better, and I wish you would. I don't say this to be mean, I say this because more people need to see your art than fuckall dA

August 10th: Practicing a couple things and got so distracted with individual components, the the overall drawing doesn't hold together too well... OH WELL.

Try opening your hand. Let it be floppy on purpose. Don't fight the arcs your arm wants to make. Your arm is full of natural compasses. The paper and your preconceptions both have a way they want the lines to flow. Your perfectionism is fighting it. Let the accidents happen and then make them part of the drawing. Be sketchy and keep the lines that work. Just some advice I ought to follow myself.

I really really really really really like this. Not just because her glasses are exactly like mine but because it's just amazingly beautiful. I could fall in love with a girl like that. Really top notch Gusto.

Dude, I didn't want ot say anything but that looks amazingly like a pic of my mom from high shool.

It's actually wigging me out.

It would crack me up if you were mom time travelling lesbian lover...cuz Dad has mentioned, one or twice while drunk, that mom did have a female sweet heart during high school...until she met him.

That last part was probably drunken bragging but all it ever did was make me kinda laugh.

Man I thought tht sketch was pretty throwaway - I was just practicing different kinds of lips, noses, chins, eyebrows and attempting glasses for the first time in like 4 years.

Well I mean, she is gorgeous, I'm not a fan of the Tinkerbell skirt but..... those shoes are amazing. The slit at the heel, the perfect slope and spiked stilettos? Yes please!

Two minor crits: her neck seems a bit long and there's something off about the legs, I think the placement of the knees make the lower legs seem very short and awkward.

Other than that, I like it. :)

Of course, as with any shoes that look amazing (in ads, mannequins or magazines) they'd never look good actually worn by me :(
 
Gusto

Gusto

Yeah te legs are definitely off somewhat. One of them is definitely longer than it should be.

And yeah, there are a few more errors than that. :)

August 12th: Another pose that I loved on deviantArt, and decided to sketch for further use at some point this month. I've got a few of those now, actually.



I have to admit, I am really self conscious about leaving the faces blank on pose sketches ever since Fade called me out. It's not his fault, it just kinda bothers me now...

My mom worried after seeing one of my own drawings before I finished the head because apparently leaving faces out of drawings is supposed to be a sign of psychological issues. So, you know, there's that.
