[QUOTE="whimsyandreverie, post: 323138, member: 11108"] Oh wow! This is exactly what I was planning on doing with my collection as it grew - draw them! I love having live models to draw and, hopefully, draw further inspiration from (life drawing is definitely something I find soothing, but creature design is one of my real passions!) These are looking quite nice! I definitely agree that you've managed to capture personality in your drawings. One thing I would recommend in general is to break down you drawings to their simplest bits before building them up. By this I mean, start off with the gestures - a few lines to indicate the subject's line of action in its pose. Then break down the subject's form into simple shapes. Some circles and ovals, triangles squares, etc... Then you can connect the shapes and lines and add in those details and shading as you wish. The first two steps may seem a little abstract at first - I can make an actually helpful visual guide if you're interested - but they can definitely help in any drawing once you've gotten the hang of it! These drawings are really lovely. Keep up the good work! [/QUOTE]
