Here we have Sophia, my M&M character, and her little sister Cerine, played by Chess. They're very close. Very close.
Pencil. This fills a side of A4. I like Cerine (on the left) much better than Sophia, who I can't seem to get right. Obvious caveats for my own mental image of someone else's character. I think Sophia's hand is too long or something. Also, I apparently have real difficulty drawing closed eyes. Any tips? Please tell me what's wrong :)
Sisterly affection...
Ears are really far bigger than anyone thinks they are. They are as long as YOUR WHOLE FACE. Seriously! Look at them in the mirror. The top of the ear is at the same height as the eyebrows and the bottom of the lobe is in line with the nostrils. Trufax! It's the most brilliant thing.
ReplyDeleteAlso, ears are where the jawline sticks to your neck, which is, again, at nose height.

ReplyDeleteGood :) Only the noses and ears and the slope of the wrist (noses too low, ears too high.) The chain sits well on the neck.
