Sorcha's Despair- Clothing Idea A

Here is one idea of her clothing... I have a couple of other ideas in mind. I'll likely draw them out tomorrow since its 2am. Totally rough draft here...

Sorcha's Despair - SketchTweaks

Some neck and chest tweaks.... See if these help.

Working on some issues...

I can't wait to start painting her! However I want to nail down some of the things that are still bugging me...

I'm not sure about her feet.... I think the head is a little better. Maybe.

I beginning to try an imagine the background...

Sorcha's Despair

So based on some feedback from friends, family and members of the forums I am now a part of... I've made several adjustments.

Her pose is modified more and.. the head is different.

I've also made some quick changes to the background. Removing the body. I added the hand in the foreground. I haven't done hardly anything to the background yet... I'm still not sure how I plan to create it....

I removed the sensors over the nudity. I changed my journal to mature content. I just wouldn't want to get into trouble and have my account deactivated or something...

Ive been doing it wrong...

So I guess I've been doing my paintings wrong. So I've been watching a ton of videos and reading a bunch of workshops, and just trying to take as much info in as I can on how the "right" way is.

This is something that I want to do as a career so I need to do it right.

www.ImagineFX.com has some amazing work on it. I was so busy looking at all their workshops. I might even look into creating some of my own custom brushes which I've never done before.

I did start a drawing last night. I wasn't feeling well but I couldn't sleep and really felt the desire to draw.

So I'm working on the layout, composition and anatomy. I haven't added clothing yet, because in a critique on Sorcha some concerns about how the clothing worked were raised to my attention. I'm thinking about redesigning them. I had a really good idea, but I'm not sure how it will turn out.. We'll see.

Here is how its progressing so far. I'm not sure the head is right... as my reference for the pose was different. I changed it a little to try and fit the feeling of utter despair I'm trying to portray.

Imagine you've spent your entire life being shunned, and finally someone accepts you despite what they've heard, and what others do to him/her for it. They accept you and love you. Even though you spent a large part of your life hating others, they warm your heart.. and you finally accept them too. However fate tears them away from you.

This is how Sorcha feels. A village burned in the background. A toppling chimney stack attached to a skeleton of a house. Steam, and smoke pour off them. The rain is pouring down, and putting the flames out.. To the right lies a body. (I'm not sure if I should pull it closer or not.)

She was standing staring at the sky, and she drops to her knees and is crying her anguish and sorrow to the heavens, and the sky cries with her.

Newest Idea^^

Trying to build a background...

This is how it started.

Finally Finished Something!

So I'm happy to say that I finally finished a drawing.

The first piece I've finished in months.

I'm pleased with how it turned out... I've been watching a lot of you tube videos on digital painting... and watching a lot of speed paintings. I'm thinking I might try to play with it.


Just need more motivation. Really hoping that I go into labor soon. I'll have a little one to keep me busy but right now this pregnancy is sucking everything out of me. I'm so tired, and just blah.
