Les bases de l'illustration numérique : dessiner à partir d'images de référence

Hello R Harmon, Thank you for sharing your thoughtful review and for sharing these expressive Cats!Firstly, not related to the class itself, your line work is excellent, pressure strokes, expression, hand speed are outstanding. I love that the technique works for you and I see it in the results! Your cats are full of movement, expression and personality; both individual personality of each character and that of the artist!You are seeing deeply into the shapes, beyond form and grasping how the shapes move and interact. In walking cat, there’s a sense of shifting weight from leg to leg, and even a sense for how the segments in the individual legs rise, descend, pivot and shift weight. In grey stretching cat, the guidelines for the head are dialed in so precisely that the head expresses cat-ness. It doesn’t merely look like a cat. It feels like a cat. Do you put yourself into the characters? These are wonderful! You seem to inhabit each cat, feeling what each character is feeling and expressing. Perhaps, because you can’t picture what a given cat character looks like, you instead feel that cat from the inside out. “What would my tail and toes be doing if I was that cat personality, in that moment?”

Cats!
