Illustration Friday: Heights


This is the first of three pictures for "heights".  People look different when viewed from a height.  I had my son pose for reference photos.  He was quite willing.  Besides the bold light, I really liked the different perspectives (which you'll see more of as I finish the other two), and his hands.  He has very expressive hands.

I was also playing with using more washes (to thus save my wrist from a bit of the over-use issue) and doing the hatching a different way that wouldn't hurt.

  3. Amazing drawing :) you've captured the perspective incredibly well, as well as his clothes which are always tricky things to draw!

  4. I really like the washes. I hope your wrist feels better soon, but keep doing the washes too. It gives a lot of depth to the drawing. Nice!

  7. These are both equally wonderful! I like the perspective of the top image and how your son's hands seem large and scary.
