Traditional Art Zelda In Stance

Because the Legend of Zelda is my favorite game :3 Basically just Zelda striking a pose/stance or whatever you want it to be.

Tell me what you think. Read the comments and I'm sorry I didn't use some photobucket link, but the site is acting up on my comp. and freezing it so blah.

CnC???

 

*comments read* You're right about the head - it has a short lenght effect for the forhead. The reason for that is probably that the eyes are placed too high. If you imagine a horizontal/vertical line for the head measure, the eyes are always at the center of the horizontal line, and imagining one eyeball separating the two real ones tells you what distance suits where the nose starts. The way it looks now, the forhead is too small for the head, and so is the back part of the head. Remember that the eyes always follow a center line, that goes for all drawings of characters. (unless it's a very cartoony style, then I dunno)

The hair could need some more lines indicating strands of hair, right now it looks like it's extremly thick hair. Doesn't need too much, just draw plenty for where you think the hair bends. (shadow part of the bend, erase to create highlights if you like, sharper to make it shinier) The arms kinda turned out too long, or only her left arm turned out that way. You should shorten it, and be careful concerning the size of the hands - they're tricky to get the right size well.

The ornaments on the outfit looks pretty good tho. :3 If you want to, you could use a HB pencil (mechanic if possible) to shade very lightly the shadow of the metal. Don't cover every area, just where the dark/reflection is can be enough. I say this because your drawing is very light to begin with, it's a very nice thing - besides, it's too easy to get exided with tones and the whole thing ends up overshaded.. :x Happens to me all the time, lol. You can do the same for the gem part of her buckle, maybe slightly darker than the metal but the same amount of area because it will have a round special shine.. Study a real one to see what I mean.

Hope this was what you wanted to know.. :>
