RR // Character creation Male Human

Whooooo time flies !

here is the first character i did for the bulky looking kind of guy.

i tried a new style, as told in fengzhu's tutorials about character sketching.

more to come ...

Wow nice!! I saw these in your blog yesterday but couldn't comment b/c no laptop. I've been away for college orientation a few days. Thanks for referring to FZ's advice about trying diff styles, now that I think about it I've been staying in one sort of style too long xD The only crit I have about these are what Matt Kohr calls "surface identification" I've noticed most of your materials seem same in terms of texture, glossiness, etc, I think it would add a lot if different textures were represented. Otherwise I love it, I like the overall design anatomy and feel, etc :)

ok i just "finished", i did not clean it up because i just wanted to put down some general shape and see how i can manage to alterate the body of t0hat guy.

the two extremes ( right and left) are like zombie and hulk kind of guys.

i need to work on feet, hands, maybe knees, and shoulder i think. as well as a general anatomy re- work might do me well.

i think i will work on two exercice after that :

- anatomy

- character design male character/ with the different shape.

to you want to themed the exercice or not ?

i've been working on my portfolio website these days so this is why i had a little less time for drawing.

i'm moving to montréal/canada in a month so i need my portfolio to be up and running by that time.

So i will need to work harder once it is done.

i need to fill it with up to date/skills works.

i think i will reworked the two character i did and post them here for you to see in a few days.

and also i'll will be on holiday from next thursday to monday without access to the internet so don't worry if i don't post anything.

I'll expecting a lot of drawings from you to see on monday, so don't be lazy ;)

lol! I'll be sure to draw lots of characters :P Good luck with your portfolio and the moving!

As for your character update, anatomy is probably your only concern. One other issue is that sometimes you emphasize the wrong muscles (for example in the dilapated skeleton-zombie-skinny dude, he would show some muscle just because of the lack of fat, but they would hardly be bulging and muscular. Also in the second-to last dude, his upper thigh muscles are quite thick giving him a feminine look, I think in exaggerations like these it's better to emphasize the 'manly' muscles such as shoulders and arms. In the last guy it's okay because he has large upper muscles too. Just a thought! ^_^

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

just a quick wip, so you can see what i'm working on, different human male shape just skinny to bulky right now but i don't have much time these days.

i'll finish it and then start some character creation base on those different shape.

Wow great looking so far :) Great exercise idea too. Can't wait to see an update. Take your time if you are busy of course, I've been busy this week too (or excuse for slacking? idk xD)
