Tribal Man

[Mush]

I made this for fun yesterday only to wake up and see how messed up some parts are (particularly the forehead). C+C would be nice.



Based on this quick sketch of mine:

Update: decided to make a body for the head.



Used Andrew Loomis' anatomy book for reference.

Hey Mush  ,

Nice, but why such big Eyes? 

Or is that "normal" with Tribals? O_o

Oh, and: You have two dark shades in your Palette, that are almost the same - you can combine them to one, if you like .

Greetings,

This seems to be an almost exact trace of Loomis' ideal male proportion chart in "Figure drawing for all it's worth". A reference is fine, but this seems to be more of a carbon copy.

I'd go for a smaller height, maybe 7 or even 6 heads. The head anatomy is so cartoony that the proportion doesn't seem to fit.

[Mush]

I do admit it was a direct copy of Loomis' figure, but it wasn't a trace (don't know if that makes any difference). I just wanted to get the anatomy correct before I change it up a bit.

Here's what I have now.

I know you referenced from an anatomy book, but I just feel the knees should be a tad higher...

[Gil]

Nope, the knees are exactly right. That's the advantage he got from copying it, the proportions should be as good as it gets

[Helm]

Actually I'd say the knees are low. Loomis isn't a great reference point.

[Pawige]

The knees here are definitely lower than Loomis' knees anyway. In my opinion, the head is way too small as well. He's approximately 8 1/4 heads tall, which is a bit much, I'd say.

[Mush]

Thanks for the replies.

Actually, his body is 6.9319 heads tall (610px/88px).
I might just scrap the whole body as it doesn't really add to the piece. It was good anatomy practice though.
