Female Fighter pilot character concept sketch update.
Have sometimes to work on this female sketch for a little bit lastnight.

So I lay down some nit and bit of color here and there. Also play around with her hair style and colors. Not very happy with the result because it looks a bit unnatural, but it's fine for now. I did added some hard metal gear to her outfit so that it spice the values of the overall uniform a bit more.
If you are interested to find out how I draw face or woman facial structure (three quarter basic) go to Drawing human's head, female face how to, for basic front view then Learn how to draw face woman or girl (video) and Draw girls face how to lesson (This one has both video and step by step) For a little more of how I paint female face and upper part of the body go watch Digital painting tutorial video. And if you want to learn more in depth then I would suggest How to draw face and how to paint portrait.

The there are more interesting intermediate videos tuotrial Character Design Face Male Merchant Character, or Drawing Male Face Swordman and Learn how to draw and paint face. Watch as many video as you can, it would probably answer most of your questions. Be patient, don't get frustrated...pratice, learn and practice more. Then you will, hopefully get where you want to be as an artist.

FEATURE TUTORIALS:

Digital art sketch of a female pilot concept. Some random sketch I did for fun.

First of all, it's been a while. I kind of take some time away and think of what I could do more for this blog that would benefit fellow artists more.
Thanks for all comments and e-mails (again) really appreciate them. Apologize for some that I still did not get to answer, I have been really busy but I am trying to get to them all. Usually I get the blog comment first. :)
Anyway, apart from making art tutorials, there are many questions from many young artists who wants to make a career out of what they love. So I have been thinking that I should very soon post more information on how to break in or basically how to earn a living from doing art work. As you know, I often post job opportunities on my TWITTER feed. So I think that will be a great additional valuable information to this blog. I will come up with more.
And of course I will still be doing tutorials along with it, but I just want this blog to be more valuable than what it's already is. Because it only make sense that once you get to learn how to draw and paint good, then what's next? Do you sit around with it? What can you do with it? I will try my best to fill you in.

Anywho...here is a sketch out of boredom. I haven't touch the previous executioner in a while...so I will leave that to faith whether I would finish that one or not...possibly. :)
Here is a girl sketch since it's been a while. Still unfinished and not refine...just one of those killing time and practice doodle.



If any of you remember, it's basically an adaptation of the previous quick sketch tutorial I did a while back. I know...it looks almost nothing alike.


And if you have never seen the sketch video of this one, check it out below.
Watch the drawing process video tutorial: Drawing Manga Metal Gear girl


FEATURE TUTORIALS:

Digital Painting tutorial video and step by step Court Lady.

I know it's been almost a week since I update any drawing or painting...been busy with the Manga comics. And of course work at ArenaNet :)
Now, this tutorial turns out nicely. One of my better ones. It doesn't take long and turn out the way I want. Surprisingly that doesn't really happen a lot because we all want to push it even further as an artist. The more we paint and draw the more experience, we tend to see more mistake and how it should have been better. Anyway, here is a painting of a court lady...part of a small project I am working on.

So if you like this video here are some of the video that have similar content just a bit different in presentation digital painting tutorial sleeping beauty. Another is Digital painting female character red and the recent pieces Drawing Tutorial Zombie ninja character
But if you are looking for more specific study of anatomy then watch Drawing body muscle torso anatomy tutorial. And Drawing arm muscles bicep tricep There will also be some basic tutorial links include there.

Also as I mention values (shades, light) comes before colors. These are the more fundamental video that you should watch Learn digital drawing and painting (this one focus on face of a female profile and emphasis on values establishment.) How to draw woman top view from the slightly top angle, not extreme just a little tilt. How to draw Manga girl character (don't be deceive by the name, this one show how to establish values really well.) And at last Sketch character design Villain (A male character demo focus on facial design)
