Screw Names, I'm Bad with Them

I have an off and on again relationship with the lineofaction website: I pop in there once a month to draw a few hands, maybe a couple faces and then I buzz off for awhile until I feel it's time to go back to the place again. This is unlike quickposes where I visit near daily for my thirty minutes of grinding. Speaking of grinding... a copy of Bridgman's Constructive Anatomy I got a couple weeks ago has been collecting dust. Its pages have just been leafed and somewhat studied for its information on sculpting the hands and upper body. I need to use that thing more as I have paid the equivalent to $10 USD for it.

My amateurish skill displays itself in certain features of the drawings. The eyes of the first two pictures are flat. I have also been unable to replicate the features of the same person twice (bottom-left in the first picture and the man drawn in the second are the same one). I had also drawn the ears poorly in general, they're just blocks with little squiggles in them to imply the various features within them. The way I draw the Adam's Apple also needs work too.





The next four drawings were some random stuff. I wanted to break back into drawing more normally and using my imagination again to draw just whatever pops in my head. It seemed to me that I could only do that in relation to the storytelling for my comics, good thing that isn't the case. I should move to more complicated pieces in due time. The last two were done with a random emotion generator which gave me some general prompts to work with. It offered me some amusement, like line of action I should make a note to visit it often.

All in all, while the faces were just okay there is a lot of subtle work that needs to be implemented, mostly the eyes, ears, and the neck, as well as . Promising, but not enough to be good enough just yet. One day...

I only just noticed those stray hairs on the bottom half of the drawing.
