My second attempt at 3D sketching. Hopefully this is better than the first! ^_^ I know a lot of you told me that Ed's anatomy was a little wierd at places, and his shading had gone to the dogs xD I agree, there are a lot of things I learnt form my last 3D sketch and I corrected them all here.
EVERYTHING DRAWN ON A3 PAPER. COLORED USING FABER CASTELLE COLOR PENCILS.
First off, I adore Pikachu. Pikachu is just an overwhelmingly infinite opportunity for adorable art. So drawing Pikachu immediately made me happy. (super Pokemon fan) I love that Pikachu is asleep. I don't see that too incredibly often. I also have a thing for pencil coloring- mostly colored but leaving a white space here and there is pleasing to me, for some reason.
While Pikachu is definitely more 3D than normal, it doesn't quite pop out as much as another 3d Pikachu I'd seen. It seems a little weird for a guy like me, who's inept at drawing in 3D, to be saying that, but it is what strikes me.
As a whole, I love the work. Adorable, memorable, and above all, not done often.
I daresay that drawing a Pikachu asleep isn't the most innovative of ideas around, and certainly there can be some minor corrections on issues such as colouring and cleaning up your lines -- there's a stray pencil mark on Pikachu's left cheek and there're some tiny spots of colour missing from its tongue, right/left ears, as well as the lines being of different thicknesses and the tail lines coming off as a bit sloppy.
However, those are minor corrections that I'm sure you can modify very easily. The fact is this remains successful for the sole reason that you are getting close to mastering the complcated techniques involving 3D sketching -- I did a double take when I looked at the photo, as you have to be very precise in order to achieve this effect. The results is a cute, (almost) life like cartoon that seems to literally rest on the page instead of just sit in it, as many artists do.
With a few minor improvements and some branching out into new 3D subjects, I think you can become a great 3D artist in no time flat!
theres no secret ^_^ Just hard work and observation! each anamorphic artist has their own way of doing this, perhaps looking through my Misc. Folder will clear your doubts ^_^
