Constructive Form Pt. 1.5

In order to add details to a simplified 'dress-form' under drawing, you need to know how to think in proper 3D.  This short video explains the importance of following the surface contours of your 3D form.  

Constructive Form Pt. 2

In this second part of our werewolf drawing it's time to get detailed.  With the 'manequin' drawing complete, I am able to confidently add in the specific costume and facial details that bring a drawing to life.  (Note that the werewolf character is property of Blizzard entertainment, this is a fan-art drawing.)
