It's a solid drawing. What is it for? Is it a portrait that has been horrorified? Is it a generic vampire? Is it an illustration? Is it to go on a wall? The construction is fine and imagery is sound. The technique is good too though Alphonse Mucha might have done it with more pizzazz.

Thanks Ron! I have started a new sketchbook that I use just for facial drawings. Some are more realistic, some are cartoony. I started in on this one not really knowing where it was going to go. I was watching True Blood while I was working on this so I figured I would make it a Vampire, then I figured I would go the bloody tears route. Then I wanted to fill the whole page somehow, so I figured I would go crazy with the hair.

 

And yes, Alphonse Mucha would have done it with more Pizzaz. One day hopefully I can produce something special.

Just finished another drawing. I tried to play around with a extreme foreshortened perspective. Let me know what you all think! And thank you all for your advice and comments. (thumbs u

Very nice.

 

The thumb's a bit wonky, but you'll have that. (Having drawn a few wonky thumbs in my time, that's just how it goes. It's an odd structure compared to the rest of the hand.)

 

If you haven't seen it already, you might want to check out this book:

Barcsay's drawings are amazing and he does go into volume and foreshortening. It's a great book.

Thanks for the suggestion! I will check it out.

 

Yea my hands suck. I really need to put in the time to get better at them.

 

Nah man, everyone's hands suck. It's a tough structure to consistently portray realistically unless you're drawing from life or tracing a photograph.

 

Great stuff. Keep bringin' the drawings man.

On way of drawing fingers, is to draw lots of them.

This a detail of an unpublished work, albeit it is unfinished, there was going to be a critter in the jar.
