Lyza original outfit redesigned.
Wanting to start storyboarding, but with Elden Ring DLC just on the horizon, I know I'll just get too distracted to continue working on it.
Instead the next best thing, making a final concept piece/style test (based on a Ch03 scene) to bridge the gap between now and the release of the DLC to scratch that itch
Hello forums! I just finished this:
"MEDUSA_Z"
A strange glitch occurred in reality, and suddenly, she was there: an unknown specimen, an unstable variant. Hunters far and wide strove to catch her, but none ever succeeded, because she lived in a world of her own; a world where she was untraceable. Long live MEDUSA_Z.
I used black Copic markers in this drawing!
Here's a link to the artpiece: https://www.deviantart.com/erutaerc/art/MEDUSA-Z-1064473367
I apologize in advance if I offend you with this unwanted draw over. But the hand reaching for the girl is very wonky. I think you could benefit greatly from breaking down the hand into basic shapes.
Use a rounded rectangle for the base of the hand, and draw the fingers from that base.
Also keep in mind that the middle finger is the longest of the 4, followed by the ring finger, then the index finger and finally the pinky.
Another tip I want to give you is that fingers rarely move in wildly opposite directions. I've linked a video that talks about hands in further detail. Something I think might be interesting to you is the "when in doubtie, one finger outie" principle.
Oh thanks a lot for the advice and no, I'm not offended. It's pretty helpful. Will get that fixed.
Admittedly, I do want to improve on my hand drawings. It has gotten better over the years but it's the one of the most things I struggle with. So, thanks a lot. 
Haha yeah hands are notorious for being one of the more difficult things to draw.
Glad I could be of some help 
Ian has no survival skills, but access to a library. He’s probably read about the theory of peeling potatoes. But why learn how when the castle cooks will do it for you?
Ah so he’s a knowledge bookworm with no practical skills? Wow I actually think I can relate 
my bro always says I’m like an encyclopedia but I have no common sense at the same time 
Half way done with this thing. It's such a difficult reminder to 1. work on a bigger canvas and 2. that lines don't need to be perfect. And even then, I am not totally happy with it cause of the amount of small details I went into.
Your suggestion sure made the hand looked better. Thanks a lot and even looking back on how it looked, his had did look having broken fingers and that worked. It sure is tricky to draw foreshortened fingers.
Oh shoot, Tapas finally found me out! But like, in a good way (and these gals are now part of their Pride Collection this year (along with their jerky nephew too))! I say “finally” like a derp. It’s an honor and I honestly didn’t see it coming.
Here are the base inks and colors before I spend a TON of time in Photoshop adding the fancy effects.
Biggering the brush size & speeding here hoping to get through these before mid-July

. And the peek behind your gorgeous effects, loving those punch hands 
hey yall lets embrace that of a rough looking sketch of them sketches. Base idea that needs some anatomy fixin'.
Edit: I scrapped the entire thing and found something a lot more suitable. Oof, showing the real progress of sketching.
My female leads from "A Dozen Morning Glories" and "Rigamarole." A thin queenie and a plus sized princess
In the honor of "welcome back to real life struggles with genuine sketch horrors" we have well the top looks good but can you draw a torso and legs?
Also featuring my hand since I could not find a reference
As I finish this piece I realize whats more fun than trying a new shading technique when I know nothing about shading?! Does it look good? Probably not. Will I regret my life choices when it's not 330am, yes.
Only the top braids are applicable atm. The others have been trying out stuff.
I present: metaphase of mitosis shading but for braids.
Some exercise yesterday.
Bruuuuhhh I'm going through PT until the end of summer, and I am HURTING through page work currently. 
Came back to this after a day and yeppp this pose took me to the cleaners! The perspective - huge oof when put next to the reference in one sense but I think I likely got a lot out of the attempt compared with many of the others. And still drawing 
which feels amazing!!

Rough sketch of a random illustration. Dunno what I'll do with it, maybe make an alt cover or something.
My novel "A Dozen Morning Glories" 's female lead Essence Walker
My novel "Rigamarole" 's Female lead
Oof this is gonna be rough. Never do side profiles so getting the faces right is hard. This will be just shoulders up cause 1 I don't know want to do with the hands and 2 I think it will look better without them. I originally had a hand holding Anstasias cheek bur decided not to shortly after because it just didn't look right.
Also very sketchy. You can see where my lines were throughout the time I've been doing this. There will be a lot of changes to come.
