Well, still trying to learn to draw people. Took this from a simple picture of a woman laying on a rock. I think i got a little good and a little bad, like lots of my paintings. The bottom half of her is too big, or perhaps the top is too small. I tried to make her look 3D but I'm not sure i really got it. There are parts of her that look 3D but all in all, she still looks flat. On top of that, it looks like both her legs are at the same depth. I like the shading on the bottom of her torso (what would be her oblique). I tried several techniques to make her look more roundish and 3D. First I put on the basic skin color, then I made the bottom and just a touch of the top blueish, then put some red in the middle. in painting Blue things look further away, red looks closer. I think I need stronger values. Then I put shading on her limbs, took out some paint on where I thought light would be hitting, and finally shading under her. All those together should have given her a more 3D look.
I think i just need more practice.
