The design of the mech/robot thing itself is pretty sound, though the placement of some of the limbs is a little awkward. Mainly the lower half - starting just above the legs and down. I am assuming the mech is supposed to be a 'strong' character and the sketch here shows it a bit bow-legged, implying a weak stance.
Body language can make a picture! Sketch a few different silhouettes out before deciding on a shape and composition - it helps me a lot.
The coloring of the 'hair' is pretty great! I would like to see that coloring style in the rest of the robot. The shading in the arm to the right also is pretty sound - however it looks like you have different light sources for different parts of the body - the source is inconsistant. Be careful with that! I notice a lot of people shade without giving thought to the light source.
And I tried to make the light source too, that is where I started, by adding the light source. Practice makes perfect! Thanks for the silhouette study observation! trying it in photoshop because I want my sharpie to last
MY GOD! That looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteI really like the design! I think it would look cool if it had a bit of a metallic shine to it
