Hunter In The Woods

I'm very proud of this work, if I do say so myself. I am (being truly honest) terrible at drawing people. My proportions are very wrong, I can't draw different facial structures. I had a story in mind and got pretty determined to share it through my works so I've been reading up on the basics and manage to draw and paint this. My digital art is also very very basic so when I manage to finish this, I was very happy (to me, this is the best human figure and digital painting I've done so far so it was a double win for me) This was sorta what was in my head on how this character would look like. I hope you guys think it's up to par. I still haven't figured a name for this guy but he's a mysterious fellow. Living in the woods all his life, he is a nomad. He's quick on his feet and he has a partner in crime (will share that in the future) His eyes are hauntingly illuminating and even glows in the dark. When he strikes, nobody can ever describe him but only remember his haunting blue eyes. That's all I can say for now :)

Artist Reply: Wow Tim! It is a constant joy to hear from you. It is very motivating and it really means a lot. Your human drawings are beautiful so to hear that from you, it is music to my ears :) A friend of mine studies art and he did a well digital portrait of Princess Mononoke (it's a character from a japanese animation, A beautiful story, I recommend you watch. It has so much meaning) And I was awed. I asked if there's any tips he can give me. He recommended two authors, Andrew Loomis and James Gurney. I started on Andrew's Heads & Hands. I barely scratched the surface. He started with men's head and that is where I am. I haven't tried another facial structure because I thought mastering the same one for now is better. I do agree that people are difficult to draw but after knowing the fundamentals. It is quite interesting to know just how much you can experiment with the human face. :) Trees are also a challenge but hopefully I can draw them all in the future :D Any tips you can share? You draw humans really well and can draw actors and actresses. I still have yet to replicate a real human face :)
