So this was my first illustration for a few years. I did it about 3 months ago. I would enjoy some general cirtisim on how I could improve, other than the proportions of the helmet. The character is ‘Mozzie’ from
the game Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege
I don’t know anything about the character but it’s not too bad for first starting out. Everyone starts somewhere. Your proportions and shadowing are off. But, that will improve with time and practice.
To improve … keep drawing. Take your sketchbook with you. Draw everything.
I also recommend you pick up a copy of Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards.
the torso needs to be round, the equipment belt needs depth and some sphere.
identify what the belt is besides a rectangle and shapes
use symbols people are accustomed to.
the head is larger than the body which i have drawn in the past.
think round while drawing and use arching pencil lines.
I like the base of the drawing and your passion is into the subject!
keep at drawing, you are good!
more advice than critique.
the eraser is our friend!
im drew a lot on the iPad and regressed this year, so i need to do what you are doing-pencil and paper.
