Figure Drawing Night! (with a lil less pink) (safe-for-work-ish) (Patreon)

My old DnD pal Jason (an aasimar bard, glad you asked) came to model for us tonight! I wasn't feeling FULL neon pink for this one, but you'll see that it snuck in there a lot anyway.

Five-minute warm-ups!

And some sketches for our long pose for the eve:

I was trying to remember how I drew Jason's face in his little cameo in Elephant Town, to no avail. I drew his nose COMPLETELY differently in ET.

Maybe I'll bring this page with me as reference next time I draw him.

Anyway, on to the process photos!

I brought five vibrant colored pencils with me, including yellow chartreuse, which - even though I didn't use it - helped steer me toward greenish yellows in the lighter areas. As y'all may remember, I always loathe my reliance on using yellow for light areas - it never looks good!

As always, these process photos are a nice reminder that a) the lighting stinks, and b) the camera pushes the contrast too much, and can't capture that sweet pure neon pink the way my scanner does. Observe:

Voila! And a side-by-side comparison, just for giggles:

The only thing that changed in the scanned version was a finished background and a bit of smoothing out of values in the face. This scanner RULES.

And here are some close-ups, to thrill and delight you!

I was particularly happy with the feet!

Jason's got such great feet! (Danielle the Foot Weirdo returns. Whatever, I can't help having great taste in this appendage.)

Here's the original art for this one if you'd like it! As always, it's 50% off with your Patreon code, ARTNERD50, as a thank-you for contributing toward these sessions. :) Thanks as always for helping out, and for being here so I can share these with you!
