Wyld Fyre work in progress
I love watching how artists draw. It's interesting to see where/how they start and how they get to where they are going with it. I could sit and watch a really good friend of mine for hours but I think I drove him crazy when I would say things like "that's going to be an elephant?", "I'm not getting it", "you draw the eye first and not the head?", "how do you draw feet with no legs?" etc. heh In the end I was always amazed.
I will be watching this thread as well.
Looking cool so far...I'm looking forward to seeing the work as it moves forward!

This is my second day working on this piece. In this update, I have started doing a little flat shading to figure out where I want shadows to go, and how I want to define the character's bone structure.
The fire is just a place holder, so I can figure out shadows around my light source. The red glasses is also a place holder, as I am deciding where I want to add color (The lips and first strands of hair on each side will probably also be colored).
I still need to do a tremendous amount of shading and fix some perspective/anatomy errors, but the piece is beginning to come together.

I like how this is coming along. I like this style. Now hurry with step 3!
ditto, very interesting to see the various stages and explanations of what you're doing in each step

Well, I said I was a bit rusty and wanted to practice--I started sketching tonight, and a quick pencil portrait of Wyld Fyre convinced me there was a cool finished piece lurking somewhere within the scribbles.
Anyway, last time I posted a pic here of Thor's Assassin, I showed the stages of progress as I did more work each day within a thread. I like doing that, as people can see how my pieces evolve over time, so I am doing it again with this Wyld Fyre piece.
So, this is after approximately an hour of work doing an initial clean up the rough sketch. There is no shadin yet, nor color, nor framing, nor effects, nor perspective or scale checks, nor...well, you get the idea. It should at least show somewhat where I'm going with the piece.
So, without further ado, Wyld Fyre stage 1.
Update 2: (info will be the same on my artist comments and my bump post for this thread) This is my second day working on this piece. In this update, I have started doing a little flat shading to figure out where I want shadows to go, and how I want to define the character's bone structure.
The fire is just a place holder, so I can figure out shadows around my light source. The red glasses is also a place holder, as I am deciding where I want to add color (The lips and first strands of hair on each side will probably also be colored).
I still need to do a tremendous amount of shading and fix some perspective/anatomy errors, but the piece is beginning to come together.

This thread will be updated as I do more work on the piece.
