Pantsless Pancake Selfie (nudity)
Added 2018-03-26 22:14:59 +0000 UTCSometimes an image wanders into my mind that I just need to get down in scribbly-sketch form before. This time around its Cindy (Cinders) in her modern day incarnation taking a selfie to send along to her husband.
She's clearly proud of the pancake breakfast she's made. She's also found her favorite nook to eat them in.
Pants aren't required.
But Pancakes! Everyone loves pancakes! Her stallion likes pancakes as well.
The angle of this image was doing my head in and I ended up just modeling out a pose-doll to figure out the basic angle to throw some shapes down onto. Some days your brain absolutely fails at figuring out the right angle I guess o.o
But still.
Pancakes!

It's definitely shaved off an hour or three off of my obsessing over getting the figure in the right perspective. I usually only use the figure-mannequins for practicing hands but I'm finding this might let me practice out full figures at different angles than I usually draw.

2018-03-27 18:26:51 +0000 UTCIt was a difficult one to get framed at the right angle that I had in my head. I kept either getting her head cut off by the top of the frame, or the arm holding the camera was too short. The drawing mannequins in CSP cut down hours of me obsessing trying to get the figure at the right angle. It cannot help me draw pancakes though ;)

2018-03-27 18:21:08 +0000 UTCNo shame in the tools. That would be a difficult pose with all the foreshortening.

2018-03-27 01:33:32 +0000 UTCWho doesn't like pantless pancakes. (I also like bottomless pancakes too, but that means something different I hear. . . silly.) Love the pose and set up. I think you did well. Honestly, for a second, I thought it was an "after shot" from the dancing picture. lol.

2018-03-27 01:31:02 +0000 UTCThere's absolutely no shame in pose reference. I never understood folks who criticize it; pretty much every art master over the centuries worked from live models, and mannequins have been a common sight in art studios for nearly as long. No need to apologize for it; these are legitimate tools, and it's perfectly acceptable to use them. Beautiful work as ever, such a lovely smile and such a dramatic angle! Come home soon, Captain Bert. There are...um, pancakes waiting. :)
