Bath - Meredith, naked, NSFW, colour

It's finished! Thanks to porange for suggestions on how to colour the water. Tricky. Does it work? Stupid camera has rather bleached the colours, but such is life. (I blame porange also for the higher indecency level in the coloured version. Because I can.) Her right hand is the wrong way around. This will annoy me forever but OH WELL. Skin is really hard to do with my pencils. This is white underlay, then yellow ochre, then rose. Underwater skin omits the underlay, because otherwise there is no colour uptake at all by the time I want to put the blue for the water over the top. Maybe I should get myself some skintoned pencils.

Full length. NSFW

Head. NSFW. I'm fairly pleased with her expression. (Sodding bloody philtrum.)

Lower half. NSFW.

What works and doesn't work with the colouring/anything else? It's hard to tell onscreen I realise, but I'd especially like to hear comments/tips on the water and such, as I've never tried that before and it's difficult.

Bath - Meredith, naked, WIP, NSFW

Aaaaages since I've properly drawn anything. I've forgotten why I started drawing this, but I blame #larp and porange. Morvanian pinup! Or smut. Or something. Whatever it is, Meredith can be saucier than she dresses. Ask Keshrel.

Pencil. NSFW. In the first incarnation the hands were the wrong way around. XD

Fineliner. NSFW. I cocked this up - I've done that thing I do with the philtrum. Rarrgh,

Brushpen. NSFW. Surprised how much better it looks this way.

I cocked up the tub, but it's the figure and the water I'm more interested in - the tub was just me being careless. Tried to address the recurring face-too-small issue in this, but have I gone too far the other way? She has so much hair I can't tell. I have no idea what possessed me to combine the horrors of hands, feet, nudity, water and perspective. Eurrgh. Is that foot still too damn small? I think it might be. Bastard thing. Debating whether to go for Magic Opaque Water, or try something far beyond my skill level with colouring. Hmmm.

What's wrong (and/or right) with it? :D

Lying down, Heresy and Evelyn

What with the culture shock of full-time work, it's forever since I've drawn anything. I'd had this image in my head for a while, so I decided to end the shite-drought by attempting something with two figures in awkward positions! Because I'm a masochist! :D

Heresy awake before Evelyn is not something that happens every day. Or even every month.

With permission from Evelyn's player. He looks slightly grumpy. Or pained. Maybe it's his disposition. Maybe it's because he's attached to Heresy, the poor mad fool. Maybe it's Maybelline.

Things this picture contains that I suck at: 1) fabric folds b) awkward postures c) composition. She's too close to him - her left leg must be right next to him d) men, generally e) people larger than me, generally f) someone else's actual face g) everything!

Despite this list I'm currently fairly pleased with this one. Doubtless this will change. I remain convinced that her head is too big, but the ruler and skull ref tell me otherwise. I dunno.

What's wrong with it? :D
