Construction Exercise - individual character


Hi,
Here goes my attempt to learn construction and mantain the guts of the layout.
I scaned the drawing before cleaning with the black lines, for you to compare the structure.
problems and doubts that I had while drawing:
-mantain a solid structure of the jaw.
-find the right place of his butt, it isn't right yet.
-I didn't know if I should draw his shorts more 3D or more flat (I've made it with a "3D" structure)
-I tried to put meat in his cheeks (using the classic Preston Blair's "juicy cheeks") it worked better in the meft cheek.
-I've made his right arm more curved than the original drawing, that is more straight (doubt: in this case should I keep it straight?)
-It seems that I shrunk his head and some of the negative spaces.
I am still busy for te next week, but as soon as I finish some illustrations that I have to do I will go back to my studies... I will keep working on individual characters to improve my construction.
abraço

  1. That's the best one yet!

    the arm o the left is a bit too bent,and the eyes could be a bit bigger (more cartoony)

  2. OK professor, I will keep studing the individual characters until I got the construction right and learn how to maintain the guts.
    Thanks Chris and Mitch... it's always easier when I look at your studies first :)
