Two Different Hands




A while ago I drew these two hands from a youtube tutorial
from the awesome Mark Crilley. as a practise for drawing
realistic hands I followed every step on how to achieve the
right shapes and proportions in the hands. I may have
followed the tutorial a bit too carefully as I really want to be
able to draw things completely from my own imagination
and not following specific steps. But don't get me wrong. I
love watching Mark Crilley's tutorials and they can really
give a helping "hand" along the way of drawing something
difficult. anyway, I think I achived the right look of the hands
and in my opinion they look pretty good.
By the way you should really check out Mark Crilley's
channel on youtube. He's a very talented artist with over 200
videos on his channel and he posts a new video every
single week.

Human Face

This is a drawing of a girls face i drew a while ago following a youtube tutorial from the awesome Mark Crilley. On my drawing the proportions are really not good if you compare it to a real face but in a lot of his tutorials he makes very often a kind of manga style to it so the proportions are a bit different. As you can tell on my drawing her eyes are too big, the overall shape is not that "realistic" and the angle is a bit boring. That being said I think the shading went very well. Mark Crilley of course has also a lot of tutorials on photorealistic stuff including proportions, positions and shading in a realistic looking face and ALL sorts of other drawing tips on environments, angles, manga, backgrounds, clothing and so on. A huge thanks to Mark Crilley for a lot of helping tips along the way. You should really check his channel out :-)

Freehand Drawing: Fallout Vault Boy

Vault Boy
The finished drawing of the Vault Boy from Fallout


I love the gameseries Fallout and I thougt it was about 
time to draw just a small drawing of something Fallout- related. So i drew the Vault Boy from Fallout who appears in just about every "newer" Fallout game. The hard thing about drawing this drawing was that I wanted him to look just like the "real deal" so the proportions had to be just right. I think it went very well. I had a reference image to look at while i drew to get the best results but I still had to draw it completely freehanded. It was just drawing and erasing until i got the lines correct so that they had the right angel and size. I'm sure I'll make some other bigger and more advanced realistic-looking drawings from Fallout in the future.
