Description Part of my sketch example series. Drew Link coz he's one of my "easy" to draw characters. Bit messy what with trying to get the hilt of the Master Sword relatively correct :S

Ball point pen on paper - 10 mins

Thanks for looking!

Whoa! Soooooo Goooooood

Hey, I've started drawing lately and was wondering how you do hair and body proportions
It'd be SUPER helpful to get tips for semi-new drawers!


~Thanks ^.^

Thanks!

For body proportions, I study from references and I like to keep mine closer to real proportions these days but with more practice, you'll get the hang of the ratio and you can adjust it to suit how you like it ย  As for hair, the trick is to keep it natural and the practice I had was drawing Sailormoon in my early days funny enough and that has helped me to draw most types of hair now - you may find other ways of learning but it's just all in the practice.

Wishing you all the best with your art! ^^

Wow! Every one of yyouor draws of Link amazes me more and more than the last one! I have a technique question. when you draw him, do you draw his face, hair or eyes first? I can never really line them up right. (fellow semi-realism artsist here, so I also make more grooves in the face rather than simply the cheek-bones)

TixieLix In reply to Queen--Zelda [2013-11-28 16:45:11 +0000 UTC]

Thanks ^^

I always start with the eyes when it comes to the line art, but as a rule of thumb, I set everything up together - I start with the head outline and I space everything to proportion

Queen--Zelda In reply to TixieLix [2014-01-17 22:57:38 +0000 UTC]

Ah, I see. Lately I've been having issues with drawing faces. Well, cheek bones. I make them too baby-ish (like my own) and on characters like Link, It looks silly because the rest of him is very detailed, but those cheeks make him appear "chibi-ish."ย 


GRRRRRAUGH! *throws sketchbook out window*

Just keep up the practice - not like anybody can get it right the first time especially if you're learning.ย  It does takes lots and lots of patience but you'll get there eventually

TixieLix In reply to ShougaTouki [2013-01-02 23:30:46 +0000 UTC]

Only because I sketch a lot with pen and I have a tendency to draw either Link or Vega heaps so I'm used to it ^^

Hi. I'm a first-year student in college studying digital media arts. I have a character illustration assignment that requires me to ink out an artist's rough sketch in Illustrator. I admire your artwork and this is something I'd love to ink out for my assignment. I'd like to reassure you that I will not be making any profit from this assignment; it is strictly for learning and educational purposes and you will be credited for your work. Upon completion, it will be posted on a WordPress production blog used for school. I can show you the finished product once it is completed as well.

It would be great if you could let me know what you think of this.
Thank you!

Thanks I don't copy so this is an entirely original style by me (did this during my lunch break at work XD ) But as for his 'looks', I would say this is closer to the Link in the latest smash bros than any other canon Links from the actual zelda games.
