Description I'm currently working on Samus Aran from Metroid series. This is just a sketch.

I proceeded in very unorthodox way in comparison to what I usually do.When I started sketching, I thought that this would be really difficult to draw. I felt I wouldn't be able to get the lines in right places. I started drawing individual body parts as solid fills instead, each on their own layer. I could adjust the placement and rotation of each part, so I got a lot more freedom compared to lines. It felt more like sculpting than drawing. I added the lines later.

I put a bit more effort into this than on my typical sketch because I wanted to experiment this approach. Surely this is a bit crude, but I feel there is a lot of potential in this method considering that I got this done in around 3 hours or so. I plan to make the refined version with my usual method, just to see how it compares to this quick rendition. 

There will be interesting times in the future... until next time.

I want to commend you on challenging yourself by drawing this artwork. Even I the king of challenging myself challenged myself in another field of writing. And well let's just say that it is paying off and everyone loves it. Had I never expressed myself in another form of writing and showed it to others than i would have never known the outcome would be so positive and people have been asking for more. So you just never know. Challenges are meant to help us grow as creative beings. It helps us develop and also be prepared for what might not had been know if we didn't take the challenge. So again Kudos to you for going outside of your norm. Congrats!

Thanks. The real challenge is still ahead, but the refined version I'm working on looks pretty good so far.

For a while I thought this was Duke Nukem 3D. I could see a crossover happening.

Ty . The armor and foreshortened parts aside, this is among the easiest poses (for me) in terms of dynamism. There are some parts that I can still refine a bit for greater dynamism. Colors and shading worked out pretty good despite my hasty execution
