New York sketchery

[camwyn]

Reading Lady I spent today in Manhattan, and on the way home I had to sit in the 9th Street PATH station and wait for my train home. As I had already re-read Green Lantern: Rebirth issue 5 several times, I wound up spending the remaining 5-10 minutes sketching the woman sitting across from me on the platform.

More to follow.

Nice! You captured the moment/mood.

I'm weirdly proud of her eyebrow and her shopping bag. The bag was inordinately fun to draw for some reason.

I like it!

The folds around the feet, and the angle of her head and feet are quite nice. :3

Thank you. I'm quite proud of the folds- since I got my start in drawing by rendering horses from Breyer models, I'm at something of a loss for humans, whose musculature is usually not that obvious. The drape and flow of fabric has been my salvation on that front. It looks enough like muscle lines to make me happy.

I can't see the other two, but this one looks awesome!

Thank you! And you might have more luck with the other two if you just go to http://pics.livejournal.com/camwyn and look at the Pencil Foo gallery. (The Buh? gallery is photographs.)

Very nicely done, I approve highly! Go you for having the initiative to practice like that :)

I'm surrounded by artists on my friendslist and some of the RPGs I play at. I'd like to be able to draw my own characters without sitting down and sweating pure blood first. I'd settle for being able to do rough sketches that'd at least convey enough feeling of the characters to qualify for storyboarding or something.

You are a ninja! I am sure you will be able to do this with ease soon!
