Android AU sketches, trying my hands on futuristic/Sci-Fi designs.

I´m doing the new Proko course and going back to traditional media.
I realised that I never had good pencils and no clue what all the HB, 2B names mean.
I also started using a sketchbook again.
Drawing this portrait was really hard because you have to do it with just drawing
the outer shapes and the shapes shadows, halftones etc, that´s something I never did
and it was really hard to measure it. I also don´t see the difference nuances of light,
shadow, core and half shadow yet. But I guess this will be a really cool skill when
I practice it.

I recommend this basic course, it has two levels for beginners and experienced people,
Proko is the best online teacher in my opinion

Thanks! I did run out of ideas for her pants, so your suggestions are really helpful! Might try to incorporate the assymetrical pattern in there somewhere...

@bunny Absolutely loving her outfit and the way you do creases and folds. You're killing it!

@wispysing well it was a good reference Haha I'm not nervous at all I was merely mimicking the reference. I still can't grasp folds and fabric that well haha but uk what that's a nice compliment and I'm in need of those so I'll take it!

[bunny]

@l_vi I did mah best

[bunny]

@Lensing these are some pretty good shapes! And it feels a lil bit stylistic which personally I like. The ears need a bit more work but that doesn't stop them from having a nice cubic feel ! Good job

[bulgariansumo]

@stiatent @Kelheor Thank you both! I didn't apply to the contest, but I decided to make one for fun/preparation for if they have another one. Plus it's just nice to have some promo art laying around.

One of these days I'll get good at shading like the rest of you. I'm so lazy with shading.

Have any of you tried to do a robot before??? Like the transformers kind?
As a homage to my new toy -I bought Scavenger NBK transformer from AliExpress-, I tried to do him... immediatly knew that I needed help, so I used primitives cubes to do the pose, and then I filled the space... and now I have a full new respect for every drawer that had to do the transformers, specially for those who did them before 3D came around.
I tell you, this is not for the faint hearted.

[candiedcotton]

I avoid mechs because they're so incredibly hard to draw. You did an awesome job, seriously.

[Lensing]

Yeah it´s super stylistic and drawing without any construction lines was the hardest thing for me that I did
since years
I normally start portraits with a layin like that and in the course it´s just drawing shadow shapes by eyeballing
it. But I guess it´s a good practice.

[Kelheor]

So I thought I completely ruined the morning by being unable to draw even one normal sketch, but then a study came up.

So I wanted a blond model for studies and suddenly I got one. Even more, I found the absolute perfect Gil cast in Dark series and now my brain is broken

[VibrantFox]

been artblocked to hell n back lately and felt especially worn out today till i caught the latest Dream BBQ trailer from Joel G and it's absolutely flipped a switch in my brain especially with Oliver Buckland's music accompaniment (song title is damn good too! anemoia which apparently comes form the dictionary of obscure sorrows and it's definition is "nostalgia for a time you've never known") needless to say all that combined scratched an itch i didn't even know i had. i'll probably be screwin around with fanart stuff but aww man it felt good getting something out even if it's as simple as this
