Kura's Art

[Kura]

I did a couple pieces.. so instead of putting them in my blog like I usually do, I've decided to upload them here:

I doubt I'll be working on this first one anymore. Hair tends to frustrate me.. which means I DO need to practice it more.. but I am honestly bored with this piece. I'll try more refined hair on a different piece. Here is a WIP for anyone who is interested:

I did some studies earlier. I need to work on simplifying shapes and I needed to work on faces. These faces were mostly referenced, and I was studying some of Claire Wendlings shapes. Trying to integrate some of the shapes I notice in her work onto mine since I find it kinda hard to simplify.. :C I think the first girl might be too tall, though.
Oh yes, and hands. Hands are always a toughie.. so I need to practice them more. Also feet are next.

Labelled it with a ref- since I don't like when people claim stuff is entirely their own when it's not.

Wow. That first piece is so beautiful.
I can't fault it because I blooming love it :3

Well done.
I can't wait to see more.

I figured I might as well update this, too.. (shh, I know the hands are a bit wonky ;_; I got a bit fed up with them. I will fix them later.)

:3 Thanks Fabio!

Updated with some Lifedrawings from class.. they're in costume.. and the poses were 5-15minutes.

One's a study, and the other are more caricatured. Oh yeah.. and they're all done with pen- (minus the obvious pencil-ed character) but yes.. the study is done entirely with pen.. which means.. NO ERASING! lol.. What a challenge!

And made an anime avatar for someone:

Whoa, love your artwork, I must say! =]

I have a difficult time drawing people figures in general, but I started to practice. I love the drawings you're making with pen! I epically love the firs drawing for the details and shading. I like the way you draw your characters or people. They have different eye styles, which I like a lot. =]

Your structure's really really good. You can draw very well.

Your colour in the first picture on other hand looks... really bland to say the least. Maybe its just my taste but the greyish-aquamarine combined with the maroon just looks awful. I think the real problem isn't necessarily the colours themselves, but the contrast between the colours - despite their hue, they really seem close to eachother. This would work if the colours were very saturated, but as is, the mood just comes off as really meh.

Try comparing your signature with that picture. The colour looks a hell of a lot better in the signature, and with rather similar colours, I think you'll be able to see what I'm saying about the "blandness" of your colour choice.

Ahh I love all your art. Your sketches even look like they are coming to life! Great work!

Might as well put it here, too!

These are amazing Kura!! You improved a lot since I last saw your artwork.
I love how much character you put into these... I think my favourite is the guy with the parrot on his shoulder. He looks interesting and would fit into a good story.
