Portion Control

I've been working on websites for a fair amount of the day, but I got some time to put into both of these. The only major issue I'm running across now is that my proportions are off.


I also haven't figured out the clothing I'd like on the top image. I'm thinking slightly steampunk, but not quite sold on anything yet.

Lines Pointing the Wrong Direction

I find line work really easy to flush out, but once I want to add color, shading, or anything beyond the silhouette and form, I'm in adequately equip. I need to readdress the proportions, mostly in the face, but it's not bad for a quick 5 minute sketch.
The title has to do with what got me to start sketching tonight, instead of heading to bed. Rather the idea that is right in front of our face, but we don't always want to admit that it's true.

Messing Around on a Down Day

I started working on this for fun and to further play with layering. It's not looking too bad for the minimal amount of effort put in and the rookie skill involved. It's a wood elf springing back right after firing her bow.
