Clothed, Clarice and Igraine - ink, pencils

It's forever since I managed to do any drawing. But, inevitably, I start playing a new character and want to draw them in a variety of compromising situations.

Bits of this are borked and it's too late to unbork them, but feedback is as ever very much appreciated. Tell me what works and what doesn't, stuff am getting worse or better at  - and why, if you can! :D It's all immensely useful.

This has ended up being something of an exercise in colours - it's finally dawned on me that if I'm using white to prevent colour uptake, it's because my control is shite and I should work on that. Also in fabric folds, ugh. This is partly Porange's fault, for voting that it was funnier to colour Clarice Obviously Unwell than Obviously Fine. Pale humans are really difficult to colour - probably because the colours become that much more subtle. Good exercise for me - I'll have to keep working on that one in particular, maybe larger face next time so I have more area to play with the shading. I redid the shading on this so many times, the paper started to die. It died really badly around Igraine's face, mostly because I fucked up her jaw and ended up rubbing out ink. She's a draughir. Clearly she's just peeling.

Finished - colour. Clarice does not like physicks. Not one bit.

Finished - colour, slightly cooler lighting. That bastard shield curve is somehow borked.

Not sure which shot is more faithful to the colours. I don't know what possessed me to try and draw Igraine's hand like that, it's awful. Also ugh, the arm. Her proportions look out of whack generally - the HAIR makes her head look even more disproportionately large than it already was, and makes the face look too small for the head as usual. Hair doesn't fall like that, but I'd inked it before I realised. Grr. On the other hand, drawing other people's PCs scares me, and I'm not displeased for a first attempt.

Closeup - Igraine. It doesn't matter whether it's true, Clarice. She doesn't believe you.

 Closeup - Clarice. Are all Dawnish terrible liars? Enquiring minds want to know.

Inking stages, for completeness:

Brushpen.

Fineliner only.

Pencil, draft 2.

I always make the sodding heads too big. Thanks to porange for her help :D

Initial pencil draft. Attack of the giant heads. Yeahhhh.
