Ink fairy wip
-
Okay so after going back through and doing some more thumbnails I think I’ve narrowed it down to two ideas. What do you guys think? Any better concept wise? Still very sketchy at the moment but I feel that perhaps they hold up a little better on the story telling side
Although now looking at it there is a tangent between her head and the house which would need to be fixed
-
@ambiirae I think the first idea of the girl trying to take many photos while the fairy is escaping is a very promising one. Don't worry so much about things like tangents at this stage. When you are happy with the concept you can further explore it wit thumbnails. But great improvements

Well after an hour of working on character design I have a head
I am so bad with character design this has been really though for me. Also I had to look up a ton of reference just to figure out the way to make the mouth less creepy was to add a tongue 
-
You've got a sweet gleeful-about-taking-the-photo head at the end of it though! I too need to focus in on character design so I feel your struggle. For what it is worth, I also liked your original piece, though I can see how this might end up being more dynamic.

@mamadraw thank you
I’m looking at this one as a way to push my comfort zone a bit and work on learning new things. Now hopefully I can get it done on time -
Welp this is all the farther I’m gunna make it tonight spent a few hours messing with posing and proportions and played with some values. Lots more work to go but figured I’d post a progress update and see if anyone could give me some feed back on the pose. Thank you all again very great full for the help

@ambiirae good luck! Look forward to seeing the finished piece!

Does this pose feel any better? I’m having a hard time making the legs and arms feel right.

Progress update! Decided in the idea of inking I would try to make it more sketchy as I would IRL with my paper and pen drawings. Currently working of the fairy then combing back in to add background details and misc.

I agree with the negative space comment. Maybe you can make some little inky footprints winding past the lens and leading the eye off the canvas where the fairy wings are visible. I would also make the reflection of the fairy in the lens a bit more clear as it takes just a tad too much work to see it right now.
