 Foreshortening

    I'm at a place in my sketches where the figures look good but I need to branch out. What makes comic book art really good is not only the human form but drawing it in perspective. It's something my art's been lacking. I've been trying to draw more regularly but life stuff keeps me busy. I need more practice. Here's a perspective figure sketch I did.

I'm getting more consistent at drawing women's faces too. Since it's practice I didn't bother cleaning the sketch up.

 M.C.Escher and Photoshop     M.C.Escher is, by far, my favorite artist and did his work well before the age of computers. I strongly recommend you look at his art at mcescher.com.

I've seen this type of planning simplified by using a grid but with the lines distorted like a sphere is pushing them out. As an artist I can tell you this sort of thing is extremely difficult to do and make it look natural.     The reason I mentioned computers is that programs can easily replicate his methods. I've seen tools that create tessellations and personally use a legal copy of photoshop. Photoshop has filters like "spherize" that automatically produce the distortions the name suggests. It's an amazing program.     The issues that arise revolve around artistic integrity. Are you creating art or is the computer doing the work f...

 Character Bios: Sayth     Sayth is the main character of The Signature Chronicles. The first of what I hope to be a long series of books, Rainbows Wane, has gone through two rewrites. Originally Mayne was the main character, hence the name, but I found he wasn't the focus of the action nor the story.      Sayth takes the role of the guardian dragon of Earth although it is later revealed he's actually from a pocket dimension. He can change his shape through technology and freely switch between dragon and human forms. As such he often takes human form while fighting with a dragon tail.      His partner Azalyske is a sentient liquid of the miracle substance sylver, which can defy reality. It has the ability to instantly line light years across the universe, act as a super computer and form a two dimensional blade that can cut through anything. The only limitation is how much sylver energy Azalyske has as overuse will burn it out....
