Thanks Mahluaan, I think I see the left eye and nose is drawn too near the edge of the face.

Practice sketch on top-down perspective

[devola]

This is quite good! It feels fairly accurate, though personally I find it kind of difficult to tell it is a top down perspective drawing. That might be just because there is no environmental context for the image. It almost looks like she's bending over towards the viewer and smiling, rather than a top down perspective.

Hey hey hey this one look quite good...i take it you not planned to do lineart on this?

[Gabryel]

woah taking on the big perspective beast I've just started to tackle that bird perspective, it's really, really hard. I can only tell you again, find a real photo reference to work from - even if your style is supposed to be cartoonish, it will only look good if you understand 3dimensionality. Ofc you can take drawn references too, but there is always the risk other artists have made mistakes you would then copy.

Thanks! Me..drawing environments?  That's a whole new ballgame.

Thank you! Yeah, I'm in the phase where I want to draw and get it over with.

I rarely use references due to drawing with a small monitor. I'm hoping in the near future to get a duo monitor set up to make life easier. One for the drawing program and the other for references.

Having two monitors is a really neat idea! I don't even think about those kinds of things because I'm still fighting with financial aid all the time about just making tuition happen semester by semester, haha. With reference, it tends to help if you aren't moving your head around too much while drawing from them. It can scramble your brain, in my experience, and make things come out...odd.

Gonna dump these right along here.
