Here’s another doodle from my way to work. Inspired by an article in ImagineFX by Warren Louw – a wicked, WICKED artist whom, ashamedly, I never heard of before. Being the Cover Artist for issue 49(check it out – it’s absolutely stunning) Mr Warren shares some insightful thoughts on approaching drawing a female figure, before-the-process consideration, breaking the image down into simple shapes, silhouetting, foreshortening, etc. He makes a really good point that mastering drawing a female leads to mastering drawing of the male but not necessarily the other way around. Anyway, check this guy’s portfolio on deviantart – well worth it. So I quickly sketched it between the stations and left it as it seemed too chunky and nothing of the quality that should’ve been inspired by the article. Next day, I took another look, adjusted a few things and now I like where it’s going. It’s rough, but it has the Frazzetta feel to it which I am going to play on. I haven’t figured out as to the background, dead barbarians, a dragon, yeti…? Stay tuned if you want to find out;)

Cheers
