A Vampires embrace

after I did the vampire I felt that I had to do something more in that theme, here is the result. I'm not too satisfied/pleased with the result but I post it anyhow.

Just wanted you show you how the vampire above did enter vampiredom, or at least the seconds before she enter it

I love the work - you are getting visibly better with every sketch!

One thing though - the lips. In all of them the lips need work, because they look too static and artificial.

I admit, the vampire sketches, you've caught the lips perfectly!

But the lips on all the others, especially the women who don't have that "pouty lipstick" look of the vampire, need to be slightly fuller, and less rigidly defined.

Ok.. I had written a in depth review of each pic.. but of course.. I had some of those log in problems and it got eaten.

I think you have done some great pics. Here is my take on what you need to do to improve.

Shadows. you need to improve you shadowing and also the shadow on the ground.. Pick a point of light and how that shades the figure.

Jawbones. In your earlier ones..you had a tendency to drop the left (her left) jaw lower than the right.. this makes the face look wrong. Also.. you tend to put the ears to far forward and to high.

Distortion.. I think you could really benifit from life drawing classes. Many of the poses are very dynamic and really really good.. but the way they are posed would really affect how the womans breast sits.. or how the hand holding the face affects it. If you are unsure of parts..get most of your gear off and look in a mirror.. won't help a great deal if you are a bloke. but it will help with hands..

Hands. .your hands are really good.

Ribs..in the female tiefling.. her ribcage is wrong..and this distorts her breast.. (never a good thing.. Breast are SACRED..um.. yes)

I think that the female giant slayer is perfect.. all she needs is more shadowing. especially on the ground this will help give the 3d illusion..

The elven vampire's hands are gorgeous.. but her jaw is to strong.. drop the ear a little back and down and the jaw less square.. and bingo.. insta elf.

The elven rogue's dynamic pose is cool.. but the ear is to far foward and the jaw to square.. and there is something wrong in her left shoulder. Apart from that..

I think you skecthes are way cool. keep up the good work.

suggestions

Is this you first attempts at female antomy? The changes are dramatic. It looks as if you have had ALOT of practice. Some suggestions:
1.Look at art books on the human body.
2. Practice! Do gesture drawings ALOT.
3.Draw from life. Sometimes local art schools and clubs will have life drawing classes for groups charging around 5 dollars a piece to pay for the model.

Awesome

I have a hard time with feet and hands as well, but I think your still doing awesome work!! Since I never went to art school or classes, what I found to help me to do real looking people was to look through magazines. I'm sure it wouldn't be hard for you to get your hands on a magazine with real life women, tee hee.

If you can do ur work in 30 min. I applaud you, it takes me at least 3 hrs to 3 days for one drawing, lol.

Keep up the good work I look forward to seeing more!!

That last vampire with the cool hands looks a bit like Renee Russo. Using celebrity models, or coincidence?
