(Art > Homework) Yay procrastination~~~

[koager]

blah
procrastinated on writing my CSE homework today
and studying for my 3rd physics "midterm"
to draw this, an extremely rough sketch

(its too big again so only a thumbnail on forums to prevent killing the boards)
eww it looks iffy
I hate just showing plain sketches
some lines are too dark while others are too light
and to get them all to show I have to adjust some stuff but then I run into problems of the paper looking an icky grey or yellow

blah....
It looks eh right now....
need to refix the face and the hand + arms
I'll do it when I take it into Illustrator to draw out the shapes...

Wonder if I can get this full painted with a background by Christmas....
Still have that dragon to finish too, and I haven't even started sketching the 2nd dragon either....
sidenote: eh....I want my 2nd dragon to be black. But the dragon's are going onto a blackish background (kinda an outerspacey background) but more importantly black is such an annoying color to use as a base...you can't really do any shading...if I go lighter it turns into a grey dragon which is a no no, but if I don't go light enough the shading still wont show up....
back on topic, shading muscle tones is a pain...

update on my blue dragon: I've made the stomach plates with the initial shading and placed them onto the dragon but I havent done my 2nd to 4th layers of shading nor the texturing yet....blarghteshet :K
the hair on the spine is a pain to do too
and still deciding if i want claws

[Blaaaaaaaah]

Faces are always the hardest things to draw. Eyes/nose/mouths are easy to draw individually, but putting them together with the right face shape and all is a wholeee different story. I don't draw people well, at all. I think I tried a few times but they always looked like 12 year old drawings so MEH!!

And I understand what you mean with the muscle thing. I think that's why I prefer drawing females rather than males xDDDDD. But yeah. I'm sure you'll get there one day!

But I like the shoulder/chest bits though~

i know~ females are so much easier to draw
especially since I can draw lips
drawing lips on a guy makes it look really really weird. like they have lipstick on
and the chest is more defined on a female so that makes it easier too
also females have more flambouyant poses

so I was drawing females for awhile
and my mom keeps on asking me if I was gay.....
Whether I am or not is besides the point...
me drawing females =\= I think that I am a female
which was her reasoning

oh yeah.
its a lot more fun drawing girl clothes too

Drawing boobs does not make you gay. D:
