It feels good to have completed the drawing of Goddess Sadie Hawkins. I finished this up Monday night on the couch. This is the explicit version of course. Now that I have her scanned, the next move is going to be editing out the subbie in the middle and converting the dildo on the shelf to a lube bottle (I edited out the label and cap for the explicit version). She can use the non-explicit version for t-shirts and merchandise through an account like Cafe Press or Zazzle.
Monday, you may have wondered what I was talking about when I mentioned line quality. When many beginning artists do pen and ink, they often use technical pens with thin lines. While there’s nothing wrong with a detailed pen, what often happens is they don’t vary the line thicknesses. Have a look below.
An in progress scan of Goddess Sadie’s portrait. Notice the thin lines on the arms and hands. That was done with 03 size Micron pen.
This is what Goddess Sadie’s portrait looked like before I started tweaking the lines. Notice the thin lines on her arms. There’s not much variety and you can loose some reference in the pic. I’ll see detailed line art by novices that begin to look like tangles because there’s no variance of the line or attempted to use bolder strokes. It’s especially tricky with nudes, because you’ve got so much white space. Cross hatching, posterizing, and stippling help, but thickening up lines in the appropriate spots are important.
Now what I’ve done is simply double the line for under the arms using the same pen. It ads a shadow and looks better to the eye. Cartoonists and illustrators often use brushes, varying the line thickness by turning the brush as they work. I’ve left the facial features as mostly single line drawing, but if I was doing this larger, I would also deepen the lines, or use different pens ranging from 01 to 05 depending on the effect I wanted. It’s not uncommon to see me drawing with a few pens nearby or even holding a couple of pens in my left hand while drawing with my right.
