A couple of cuddling pictures - WIP
Okay, so maybe I'm not in such a terrible block after all. Even though I can still barely work on all the requests I owe people, I've managed to start two personal projects over the weeks. You get to see how they look like now, after several days, or even several weeks of work.
The first one is obviously for myself and my boyfriend. I had intended to finish it in time for his birthday... almost a month ago. Ack. You can see how well I did with that.
Second one is more recent and features my characters, Ryin'Lor (right) and Dar'Han (left). I already see a big flaw in it, in that Dar seems larger than Ryin, while it was meant to be the opposite (Ryin should be about three inches taller than Dar, and have a toned body where Dar is really slim).
These two pictures, I guess, were to me exercises meant to get me acquainted more with poses and interactions between bodies (get your minds of the gutter please!).
As I look at them, I'm thinking my next step should be "less boring camera angles PLZ." I also keep thinking that my beginning to use construction lines - instead of my older go-by-feel technique - has been both the best and the worst thing that ever happened to my artistic style. The best in that my characters now (hopefully) have correct proportions and acceptable poses, and the worst in that I now spend too much time correcting and not enough advancing.
I feel like a centipede who knew how to walk, but decided to learn how to walk better... so he ended up walking better but completely forgot how to do it without having to put all of his concentration in it, just like he used to do before. Ugh, I'm ranting.
Anyway, enjoy these half-finished half-sketches born out of an unsatiated desire to hug someone I love
[EDIT - moving to main gallery since there is little chance I'll keep working on it]

Oh man, interaction between multiple figures and less boring camera angles are totally two things I'm working on now, too 9_9
Haha, drawing is hard, but it's fun to work through it all. And as far as having to concentrate while you're doing it goes, I think that's always the case, if you're doing it right. If you're drawing without thinking about what you're doing, you're not pushing yourself at all. The occasional brainless doodle can be a fun way to unwind, but in general, I feel like drawing is just like working out any other muscle -- the burn you feel is a sign that you're getting stronger!
Good luck getting to hug your beau soon, dude.
