My dear, I hope I did your face justice!
This is my friend, who did some wonderful cosplays. You can find her here. I used one of her cosplay pictures of Zhang He, from Dynasty Warriors (game) as reference! Happy Belated Birthday, and I'm sorry the present took so long!
Really fast 15 minute sketch from a couple weeks ago. I also wanted to try a rougher style.Below is a quick 5-minute sketch I did in class about a year ago. I was trying to aim for a certain kind of nose/lip shading (that I saw in other CGs) and was wondering if I could imitate it with pencil. Somewhat successful. Her eyes are, unfortunately, anime!I'd planned on CGing this for real, later, but I don't think I shall ever finish it. Maybe I'll post the unfinished CG file screenshot later.

...but I'll post some rough stuff I did in the class in the past. Now I've signed up for this other course, which is more anatomy related. I hope it's more structured than the figure drawing class, but I can only take it 4 times, before this semester ends! Wow-- seems so near!
We finally did a longer drawing today. 50 minutes! Unfortunately, I didn't plan out my time very well so her lower body and the surroundings are incomplete. I mainly focused on her back-- you can probably tell.
I also cropped this because I don't like the way I rendered her face.

And since I couldn't bear to leave it unfinished like the other ones, I spent a couple minutes to touch it up from memory:
My first 20 minute pose. I wasn't prepared for the time limit and rushed the shading on the arm and upper body.
30-minute pencil
20 minute pencil
I really wish we did longer pieces. Both of the above were from the same day-- today!
Let's launch into something interesting!
This semester in uni, I signed up for a figure drawing course in the city. I'm already familiar with pencil techniques, but it's a good time to practice and get back into traditional stuff again. I love it-- I really missed my pencils!
