Speed sketch #1

a pretty old speed sketch.
time spent : approx 15 minutes.
the text says: "his mistress, how he sees her"
and that's the title of the sketch as well.

edit: resized it.

The artwork is fine; i.e. IF I could see it. Yar next time resize down to 1024x768, or a resolution near it. That's why no one wants to see this post.

Towards the speed sketch I would say that it has brilliant form, I like it a lot, however it has a few anatomy flaws, especially the right arm first joint, as well as the exposed knee.

Btw, faizi, I recommend that you resize, reupload, edit post and replace the hotlink image code with the new resized image code.

There drew he forth the brand Excalibur,
And o’er him, drawing it, the winter moon,
Brightening the skirts of a long cloud, ran forth
And sparkled keen with frost against the hilt:
For all the haft twinkled with diamond sparks,
Myriads of topaz-lights, and jacinth-work
Of subtlest jewellery.

I think it feels way better now. Though now a few more errors are apparent, her inexposed leg seems pretty twisted to me.

nice. now this what you call a speed sketch! but i think theres something wrong with her hand that grapples the stick. bounce

Well I don't think something is wrong with the hand but more like faizi didn't give much attention to it. There is something missing......

Ah yes, many speed sketches that I've seen have this flowy, curvy effect with lines, which gives them a speedy feel, you are missing that effect. But don't worry im sure you will improve, lol, I can't get that speedy, curvy feel either.
