Tomatomustache - I Like Pencil Sketches

thought this exercise is just going to be atrocious but i kinda like the top one (10 minutes)

sometimes it do be like that (worse than before) but we keep going. i kinda disliked drawing that guy bc his photographer uses settings that distort proportions (like fisheye or the opposite) so his limbs look bizarrely huge and disproportionate. but today i enjoyed the cartoonish look.

there's even more

these are so cool

i’ve been making metal gear reaction images for my personal use

me and my roommate (interchangeable)

just started peace walker immmm in love with both of them

also kaz drawing is from me seeing that his best base stat was cooking..

this was a fun study. i think i'm finished with this photo, might try different ones in the future. looks a lot less white washed to me (or did look at some point, lol), although he still has the white man stare (one eye at least) and his lips are too full, as well as many other minor mistakes. anyway i improved and i'm glad.

thinking of drawing 50 millers in a row to see whether i get consistently better after it

she res on my urrection till i come. (back. (from the dead))

tried to draw with no reference (left) but it became obvious i don't remember how eyes and heads in general look so halfway through the right one i opened the peace walker miller model image

that's it for today :)

Every few years remember about the Metal Gear franchise, go through the games, read the lore again. This year I found the MGS1 artbook I got when I was 11, and now not being 11 and looking back through it I’ve really gone on a journey of wonderment and confusion looking at the early versions of everything. LET ME SHOW YOU HOW:

Extreme Fishin’ Miller

Casual Snake

Rad Liquid & Sad Liquid

Good ol’ Faceless Frank

Mantis concepts feat. such strong looks as ‘lunchbreak’, ‘invisible handcuffs’, and ‘dick sounds’.

Otacon and Otacon run through a tiny face filter.

/These/

Snake-Meryl (Sneryl) and Flamethrower Mei Ling who I am ASHAMED do not exist

Utterly terrifying Veiny Raven and less terrifying Mange Raven

And of course, Punk Rock Mantis.

more line of action. is it possible to regress in a day? tfw 1 minute doodle looks better than 5 minute doodles.

i am not glad with shading at all, but i somewhat like the longest two sketches. for the 35 minute lady, i drew her pose inaccurately and decided to keep it that way, and had to imagine what her stomach would look like in my pose since it's behind her legs in the original photo. half of the faces are ridiculous but it's progress for me, especially on 25 and 35 minute ones. probably will focus on shading, hair and faces next time.
