I still remember. Two works a month minimum, neh?

yesterday I though to myself that I should get Katie out of my head, so here I tried a little.


First.

Upper left: not Katie. Just a face.
Upper right: Katie trying to make a head. Or, Katie aged 120 with her hair still on.
Middle: Not necessarily Katie. Her hair, but the face is just a scrap.
Lower left: Katie, first sketch.
Lower right: attempted Katie. Looks more like a gypsy.


Second.

And third:

The heroine should have kissed the hero to get him back. He has just told her he's slept with someone else in the very same monotonous intonation the actress uses for her shocked response. [name of some 300-plus-episode soap opera here] will return after these messages.

Should still do more. I'll eventually get there.

If you see enough character in her, do you care to attempt to draw her in her morning hair-roll things? Y'know the things women use to curl their hair a little, after they soak them in hot water for a while. yeah. Dressed in crappy home-wear, no pants, having popcorn and watching a soap opera. That's Katie sometimes.

She has a manjaw in the first one, I'd say it could be just her face but you can't really see it in the second one, which is good other than the pouty lips
also why do you ref porn

Katie is someone I am currently trying to get out of my head. It's like I have all her physical aspects in minute detail in my head, but when I ask myself, I can tell none. That's why I'm trying to do these sketchies, in order to visualize her and introduce her to the world.

Katie is Noland's colleague. They don't get along very well so far.
Who's Noland?

I thought you knew about me and reference. HA. Ha. ha.

I was thinking she does kinda have a manish, harder than usual, jaw, but as I am progressing, I somehow feel she doesn't now. Man, it's hard. I can't even tell what's in my head. Well, it shouldn't be a manly jaw, but her cheekbones subtly stand out, and her chin isn't just pointy point. The second one didn't much look like Katie. I look at it and no, it's not her.

I have just updated the three images in the first post. Please check again.


And PS: that wasn't porn, but I ref'd it to try to understand that kind of hair and start with it. It was a scantily clad model image, but that's not much different from porn, is it?

well I reference fashion ads so I guess it's just a matter of what you do with art and your preference in poses

A ref is a ref. Porn stars have a very particular look and aesthetic, and if you're trying to capture some aspect of that, i don't see why you SHOULDN'T reference porn.

But i guess you guys wouldn't be art fags if you weren't just a little snotty sometimes XDDD <33 I LIKE PORN.

Anyway. I say, good work and keep on trucking. I can totally relate to the process of trying to get a character down on paper. Especially now that i'm studying animation, i realize the importance of drawing a character consistently. It's ******** hard, so, i commend the effort.

Also, toward the man chin comment: what the ******** is wrong with that? the only thing it does is create a challenge for the artist who wants to make it feminine. Which I think he has. I don't look at this character and think "that's a drag queen". I definately makes her more interesting than if she had the standard perfect girl-chin.

It's a little too late, but thanks for your comment, Page. It's well said and encouraging.

I have brought another one today.

She knows she has a lot of paperwork today.

This one wasn't as easy for me as it may seem. The subtlety of the back was harder to do than the details of the front, since it was my first time drawing a back. e_e I think?

No ref.
