Here is a picture of Bubba. I've been practicing my sketching so I can get better with my painting. Here is a picture of Bubba, and here is a scanned copy of my sketch. Would you critic this and be very honest. I won't get better if you're not honest. I know I redid the bandana and some other things, and the scanner put some shadows in that are not on my original sketch. Thanks in advance!  |
Hi there, well i'm in Illustration which is based on very strong drawing/painting skills. I think you did a nice job on your yorkie. Fur or hair of any kind is extremely hard to do in order for it to look realistic. I think you have the general layout down pretty well and right now it is a nice job of a sketch before you add colour. If you were leaving this as a sketch i would go back in and try to put more detail into the hair. The sketch looks a little flat right now (which is very easy to fix by adding colour or more dark and light contrasts) The head is closer to you than the body therefore the head should have darker lines and highlights than the body. It's kinda harder to write it out rather than show you but if you have been doing this for a few years you probably understand what i'm talking about.
I can't wait to see the final painting
