With practice you can produce images with little to no clean up.. but the key is PRACTICE. As for anatomy books... I actually find them misleading sometimes, your better off with a photographed foreshortening book but basic knowledge of muscle structure is also important. Um, I like Dynamic Anatomy it's a drastic version of the body which will give you a stronger sense of muscle structure. Plus they have books for study of hands and feet... etc.
Hope that helps. |
The Dynamic Anatomy book looks like it could be very helpful, and I think I could benefit from the feet book too, because i was kinda suprised there weren't any comments on my fairy's goofy looking feet. I never worked with mechanical pencils because my art teacher in highschool said the lines were harder to erase. But maybe i will give it a shot. Thanks for all the help.
Is anyone else in here left handed???

Yup, I am!
I think that we've discussed left-handiness(?) in another thread. Don't remember which one, though.

If you check the post directly after the one you quoted, you'll find out who it is...
And Oubliette I do love a bit of psychedelia... Have you heard of the artist Alex Grey? He's the cat's pyjamas

I have not heard of Alex Grey, but I feel inclined to check him out with that review.

Freaky looking background for a freaky looking man
How about "psychedelizing" his face?
