This started as an experiment in perspective for me, as I was trying out one of the Loomis methods of drawing people at different distances... unfortunately it kind of fell apart on me when I realized the particular method ("hanging heads on the horizon") only really works if the people are the same height, and Weiss and Yang most definitely are not. So I tried different ways and think (hope) I did get something that looks about right in the end.



This particular drawing also let me address other deficiencies my art has had -- a portrait of someone where the light is coming mostly from behind their face (Weiss) and a portrayal of Yang at her cheesy best (Marisha Ray of Critical Role gets credit for the tank, though). And it gave me another chance to play with their styles a bit, while trying to keep them recognizable. All in all, it was very fun to work on, right up until I had to throw together a generic background to make the perspective aspect of it work. Backgrounds are annoying, y'all.



So, let me know what you think -- any comments, tips, or critiques are welcome and appreciated!

Disclaimer: I’m red-green colorblind. Because of this, it’s difficult for me to tell similar shades/hues of different colors apart, and, therefore, I need to work with very limited palettes when I color pieces. For shading and highlights, I’ll start with a gray base and lighten or darken shades from there, and then add a color overlay (and, for some skin tones, attempt to add a blue overlay to make it less “hot”). I’ve often been told to be bolder in my highlighting and shading, and I’m trying to be so, but… sometimes it still seems pretty tame. I’m just saying this in case you mentioned I need to do that on a previous piece – I’m not ignoring you, and I appreciate the input. It’s just not very easy for me to implement confidently.
