The first 2 were done on illustration board.. which I prefer. This one on regular sketching paper, which I don't like very much.

Hi Tess, I like your line style and also the feeling in both drawings. You had a hard edge line going but not in the head so it doesn't match. The head is off a little near the ear, I think. Not defined enough. The torso of the first is a little short but interesting. Compared to the torso the hips and legs are huge though. Also compare those to the slimness of the legs. I like the pose. You might try a heavier outline sometimes for emphasis and light fading outline on parts not needing separation or further away.

The second one is better head and torso, actually really nice but again the hips and thighs are rather large. I would soften the shading on the legs too. The feet, heels need a little more precision. The feet are good however on the first one in comparison.

As an artist, I would want the truth, so I realize this is a mixed bag. All in all though, some nice work. TW

Wow Tess you are very talented! My daughter asked me to help her draw something for her project and erased it because she said it looked like a cartoon :waah: :rofl: So I really appreciate people who can draw. I love the strong, sexy women you've depicted here!:ultracool

You should try some line and watercolor. It is fun and you get interesting results with rougher paper. TW

Great drawings, Tess! I have trouble with stick people so I admire anyone who can capture the human form accurately. I like the way you draw the women, in a non-stereotypical way: beautiful and strong!

Cheers,
Gin-Gin :cheers:

Tess, from one artist to another... you do very good work.
Those are sketches, no? Love to see a completed drawing.
Nice to know we've got something else in common as friends. :D
This is one of my completed drawings. Charcoal, pencil, ink. I'd love to get into watercolors and oils someday.

I truly wish I had your talent. I am like MJ, even my stick men look aweful.

Thank you and Gin Gin but this thread belongs to her majesty Queen O' Pain. I posted one of my own drawings to show her that I have a level of appreciation that comes from like talent.

ALL HAIL TESS! :asian:

I am maxed out on Botero right now, so Tess' ladies look really skinny - and skilfully drawn.

Caver, wonder where you got your inspiration... great depiction of what you love.

Interesting sketches! from someone who can't draw at all, stick people and heads are my limit ;) those are incredible! I love the hair on the third girl and the way the second pulls off the mini!

As I have stated before; You are much more talented than I. You are a wonderful artist. Great pictures. You are certainly blessed.

You SUCK. SUCK.

And trust me... thats high praise coming from a guy like me who's stick figures are probably worse than the ones anyone else on this forum can draw...

I am totaly and completely jealous of your ability.
