Mermaiden

Posted Jun 10, 2011, 11:25:53 PM UTC

I don't even know where this came from. I just got the urge to draw a mermaid, so I did. Pretty derpy in places, but I'm pleased with it. She doesn't have a name, but I'm thinking about possibly making her a recurring character? Lazy background is lazy.

Nice dynamic pose Foreshortening has always been a challenge to me- it's hard to imagine limbs pointing at you Great effort!

  Thank you! Foreshortening is something that I try to do fairly frequently, even if it looks stupid, derp. I try, though! That's what counts.

  Hah! This is true. I know alot that avoid it cause they dont' know how to do it and it's a shame. May I suggest http://www.posemaniacs.com/ Posemaniacs. If you wish to do foreshortening and get it accurate, this would be a good way to learn http://www.posemaniacs.com/archives/161 This pose may be beneficial to this picture. Maybe others too

  I actually love them and use them sometimes. I just have a bad habit of not using references enough. D: But I really like their references when I do, hurr.

  Me too >.> I should use references more often considering how screwed up my eyes are. My heads are starting to get miss-shapen again >.< The joys of drawing when you're half blind >.<

  Of course it's so much better to use them, but it's hard to find ones that fit and then it just gets easier to guess. Boo.

  Then there's light source issues. Referencing is generally a pain in the ass like that, but it's still worth it for the final picture
