Sijun Forums :: View topic - comic book heroine--need help

NineZero · Posted: Wed Sep 11, 2002 12:25 am

hey folks. here's a pic of a girl i'm planning to use in my own comic book. i started off drawing her face and today i finally started roughing out her upper torso and adjacent areas like her limbs. so far it's just her left hand though =).

i like the positioning and pose in terms of the left hand. i know it's far too small though but can someone out there help me with suggestions or even a rough trace-over?

this is one of my first big projects (for myself) using painter and a wacom tablet. any general comments would be greatly appreciated!

thanks

you don't wanna get too lara croft -esque though... what's the story about her? what makes her differ from the rest? that often reflects in the exterior as well...

here's my two cents,
the gap 'tween the eyes seems a bit big, and the nose and mouth seems to be too far down, push them up a bit and you'll get some nicer features... the jawline is a bit low as well

i've done a quick overpaint to show what i mean,

anyway, hope you do well with yer comic

i'm a big comicbook fan myself...
