I spent a while on this as anatomical practice. And also to try and get that painterly effect in photoshop, which I think i'm getting the hang of now.
So yeah, I've been looking at some anatomy books and poses etc etc, just trying to get to know the human body *properly* so I can draw, err.. better I guess? I did begin to get a bit bored when the colouring part came around, so it's a bit rushed there (even though I've been mulling over it). I actually wanted to do strips of shadow going across the figure/BG, you know like light shining through shutters or blinds. But ahh, I was thinking about it, and well I think I was spending far too long on the colouring already - so best just to leave it and move on to something new.

Unfortunately when converting this to jpg, a lot of the quality's been lost on fine details and things which I was stressing over, particularly in the face and eyes. The colour & tone is slightly off from the original as well. But that always happens when I compress and view things out of photoshop. *SIGH* Oh well, I'm pleased with it anyway!

p.s - I will never be a chair designer.

Nice one! :D The painting I think is really succesful. She looks really shiny, but I quite like the effect actually X3 The anatomy's really cool too, although I have to say her left arm seems to look a *little* unnatural. I actually think the chair's really cool ^^; I love the fact that it's see through.
:iconkandinsky-prince:
Ooh, she looks so relaxed ^__^ The chair is awesome and I want one. Also, she has such a pretty face!! @_@

Perfect pose, absolutely lovely composition, although the light reflecting from her back looks a bit too jagged. Otherwise, I'm in love.

Thanks! :) Ah yeah, it got kinda jagged when I scaled the whole thing down to be a more reasonable size unfortunately! I could fix it though.. hmmmm!
:iconmrmetallium:
Hehe thanks!
Well she BETTER be relaxed on that chair. Otherwise I'll boot her off and sit on it myself. It was a bit of a pain to do!

As for the face, well I'd love to say was looking in the mirror whilst drawing it, but ALAS it is not true ;_;
:iconmrmetallium:
Cool, glad you think so! Yeah, she's all.. err greased up or something! In butter, perhaps.
Ah yeah, sometimes trying to get the anatomy of poses 100% right is just really difficult! I'm copying and sketching things from some anatomy books though in order to try and etch the human body into my brain! I'm concentrating a bit more on female anatomy right now since I think i need to practice that more. So hopefully there'll be imrovements as I go.

Rant rant rant.

:D Thanks a lot! I'm glad you like ^_^
Yeah it took a few days to finish. Not so much the line art, but the colouring. I'm not really a natural, I don't think, when it comes to colouring stuff, so that part usually takes a while or a bit of trial and error @_@.
:iconkuramika-chan:
sounds hard and and must be really annoying >.> especially on a drawing like this ....thats why I gave up on photoshop after a week ^.^;
