Title: Dr. Regis face sketch
Post by: Technocrat on Fri 12/08/2011 17:20:06
So, in my attempt to make the art better, and the style more credible, I've been trying to do some practice at a scientific process of making characters. I'll do a close up, detailed version so that I can make them smaller and smaller as I build the characters, and comic-style images. So, without a great deal of extra delay, here's my rendition thus far of Doctor Regis, one of the protagonists of Technobabylon.

My basic concept is "late-middle-aged man, grumpy, tired, overworked, stressed about being blackmailed, doesn't care a great deal about his appearance, thinning hair, not exactly upbeat." Hence why I've mostly based his appearance off my Dad. Would you say this carries that impression across?

The nose in the front view, as can be seen in the profile, goes lower than the nostrils, so you don't really have to draw the nostrils in the front view. I know that it looks realistic from a photo, but especially if your going for the same coloring and style like in episode 2, you don't really need to draw them.
And yeah, the lower lip might be a tad to big.

Otherwise, looks nice.

That's a good sign so far, then! The lip and the nose are parts that I was unhappy with anyway, but I couldn't quite place what was bothering me about them. Now I can get on to fixing them!

he seriously looks like a sex offender. I think you should lose the smile.
Otherwise, pretty well done!
