Thanks.

Hey, wonderlass!

If it's any consolation, most pros seem to hate drawing lower legs and feet. At almost any opportunity, the'll crop them out of panel, cover them with fog/smoke, have them hidden behind the knee, obscure them with furnature, or draw them cartoony looking.

I find it helps to use an action figure as a modle to help with perpective and proportion.

I don't like the grid method. I always mess it up. I like tracing paper cause it's easy to see though. All three are on canvas.

'BEAMIE that absolutely rocks!

And maybe I should take your sketch and color it. And then we apply for a job at marvel together. Now wouldn't that be great? *if only I had more time*

ELWING that would be TOO COOL FOR WORDS! Thank you for the kind words my friend. Being a HUUUUUGE fan of your work (Back when ya 1st started posting in the WizWorld thread, I took a tour through ELFWOOD!) that means a lot. Ditto about wishing I had more time. I Still havent had a chance to get back to that Ultimate sketch! Everyone in here is inspiring me though, so I should get more done this weekend!

GARBLE that is SOO true! I remember reading somewhere that you can tell the quality comic artists by how well they draw hands and bare feet! Case in point check out the hands and feet of Davis, Pacheco, John Buscema, and Adam Hughes!


BAMF!

IMO, the best thing about posting art here is that everyone is supportive and nice. It's such a relief after doing critiques in art school where everyone is ready to pull you down with negative comments.

So, thanks guys. This place is the best.

To see selected pages from my sketchbook, go here: http://moosuittwo.homestead.com/Sketchbookstuff.html

Some of it is for Wonderlass and her leg problem, and the rest of it is just so you can see that my sketchbook is a confused and crammed thing. Wonderlass, the first drawing is the one that I drew for you. It's not much, but. . . *shrug*

And BAMF, have you worked any more on that wonderful sketch at the beginning of this thread?
