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.)

Constructive Form Pt. 1

If you've been watching the Ctrl+Paint unplugged videos, you know they've been limited to simple subjectmatter.  In this video, I'll take some of the principles you're already familiar with and apply them to a more complex subject: a character from the World of Warcraft videogame.  Split into two parts, this process will show how to visually simplify even the most complex 3D forms.
