Description
Well what can I say... It's a Composing Liger! (Well maybe conducting....) ((...No one say it's a Conjuring Liger. Thats a batton not a wand
))I had to give my namesake at least one sketch to call it's own. XD
Sketched by Mechanical Pencil last night. (Far to hot to use computer or even sleep!!!) Coloured in the GIMP this afternoon.
This one didn't have an awful amount of shading in it. I opted to use gradients insted because I haven't quite worked out a way of getting a nice shadding with the brush tool. (I think I wasn't it to act a bit more like Photoshop's Airbrush) Secondly stage lighing tends to destroy all shadows anyway (Well thats my artistic excuse!)
Still trying to work out anatomy. "Think 3D" is what I'm trying to work on at the moment. Just trying to make fingers look how they are rather than what you 'think' they should be in darn near impossible. Oh well... Practice and Patients as I've been told. Lots of Practice in my case

Well, even if you need to practice a litle more (draw better bodies, more "alive", less "broom round", or whatever you call it), your art seems to improve! At least you draw very cute faces! ^^

"Broom round" lol 
Yeah I like the face too, Usualy it's the thing I'm most happy with.

Yeah, you can be proud of the face! ^^
About the "broom thing", I wasn't talking about the arms, legs, but about the "whole body"...Well, I know some people here in France who would say that he's standing like...er, ahem Hem! "cough! cough!" "like if he was having something in his ass" "COUGH!!!" HEM! AHEM! RRRHEM!!!"
No, I didn't say anything "weird", why are you looking at me that way, people?

lol... I'll never be able to look at that picture the same way again. Don't all conductors look that way anyway?
But anyway. Work on posture that doen't make him look like he's got a steel rod up his back! Gotcha!
Andy's going to laugh his head off when he reads this! XD

God, I'm going to think we the French are real pervs, or some sort of freaks! I always remember a friend, telling to another friend one day while we were eating "God, Thomas, why are you sitting like if you're having a broom in your ass????" Lol, that thing of the broom seems to be very normal here in France!
Yeah, a sense of humor kind different from the "Chu Chu Train"! LOL, everytime I think about that one...

Don't worry I'm sure I've heard that comment before.... just never in relationship to art
And I wouldn't worry too much about thinking the French are pervs... Most of the plannet is, from my experiece. :3

Wow, the way you draw faces rreally does make them look 3D... I though tyou used a rendering program for a sec...
hm... critiques you say... adding some dimensio to the clothing (wrinkles, seams, etc) might help make them look more realistic...
and hands are evil. I hate drawing hands. bleh. but yoours came out really well... especially the baton hilding one...

Yup critiques are good! I need them. Badly.
The faces are probably what I've worked on the most. I've gone through a few tutorials ([link] ) and when I first started drawing that was about all I did. (That doesn't mean they were any good) I tend to treat faces as an upside down egg like shape and then add details.
I agree, adding some little details could help a lot. I just need to clean up my drawings to fit them in. I tend to 'sketch' things out many times and because I have a cronic fear of inking things (I tried once... It was BLAH! I think I need multiple sized fineliners) basicly I'm working straight off the rough (Means it gets a little scrappy). But for the moment I'll say he just got that suit pressed and super starched. (like 50 potatos worth) No wrinkles in that suit.
With the batton hand I somehow managed to fluke that. I did a circle and then this funny sort of V shape off it where the tumb and two fore fingers should be. And whats more it worked. Shame i couldn't get it to work as well for the other hand.
Blah... I'm rambling on here... I'll just stop talking... soon...
