namu-the-orca In reply to AquaOrca [2009-11-11 06:23:01 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I've looked at it, it's a nice pic I always try to draw without a ref., then the picture is really 'yours'. Not that there's something wrong with using references! I'm always having problems with the big reflections on the side/back of the orcas. It always looks so strange with my drawings, a big white/grey patch in their back XD

AquaOrca In reply to namu-the-orca [2009-11-11 06:42:26 +0000 UTC]

I do prefer to draw without references, not always easy though. It's taken about 7 yrs of serious drawing to get them to look okay without references. Sometimes if I feel stuck in a drawing the best thing I can do is find a picture I like and reproduce it with pencil or photoshop. After doing something like that I feel better about my artistic abilities, lol.

Well, this is just stunning. Look's just like her I adore the water coming off her head, you did a fantastic job with that. The shading on her is perfect. It still looks good with no background, but maybe fade the water at the back to kind of merge the water with the white background?

I really like how this turned out also kudos on the water. That's always the hard part.

oh and I actually like the white background. It brings out Kasatka really well and it creates more contrast between foreground and background.
If you give the drawing a complex background, it's going to be way to overdone and the focus on Kasatka will dissapear. It's the killer whale that's stealing the show and not the background xD
