At last 1 won for me and I actually already started with some refinement and variations, so I'll upload the next image soon. Instantly was clear that n.2 wouldn't go any further, but between 1 and 2 the choise wasn't that easy. Worked those three thumbs a bit more to finally decide which one I'd have brought to the final stages.

I like a lot 4 and 5 too, so I'll refine these three to choose which will be my final pick.Īs always comments and critiques are welcome! I slightly changed the pose of n.1, finding more dynamic the legs crossing in some way and pointing the spear rather than just carry it. Probably I'll drop the two horizontally oriented (2 and 3 in the last image), as you see I didn't even touch. Once decided the 5 most interesting silhouette I worked some light values and found out the figures that naturally drove me into this step were also those that I like the most. On the top line I discarded right away the two on the right as they let me think more of a fairy/wraith character, although I don't mind them. I went on with my favourite thumbnails and was nice to see that more than one of those you guys mentioned were also my pick. I obviously have already my favourite thumbs, but if someone takes a look at this, any feedback would be much appreciated. Sometime I tend to think too much on the pose too, when, I guess especially at this stage, I need to let the hand go and see what happens.

I tried to follow the guidelines staying as loose and fast as possible, but I usually get lost in details wasting time when it isn't necessary, so this is something I need to improve. On the other hand, while this concept can be very promising at first, gives no much room for her outfit.Īnyway, this is what came out as my first step. I was also inspired by the idea to draw a female character underwater with all the possible poses of a fluctuating body while her glance is caught by something around. I loved its setting and all the story behind that world. What drove me into this concept was the memory of the beautiful anime "Future Boy Conan" by Hayao Miyazaki.
