D&D Orc... Half-Orc

[geoffd]

just a generic orc i'm working on. practicing values and such. anatomy is off and the lighting is bad... but sometimes you just gotta have fun with a sketch. enjoy. thanks

hmm, the head is to big or the body is to small, you choose

Practising values this sketch is a success! The head is too big though, but it does look like you had fun doing it. Pretty interesting facial features for a half-orc guy I like it.

thanks for pointing that out. i shrunk the head in photoshop so it looks a little better i guess. still kinda big though... well i need more studying!!!

Hey I noticed your in Sarasota, are you a student at Ringling?

Now for my two cents... I think his pose is way too stiff. but as far as value goes I really like the mood of the character. It's starting to feel very ominous around the eyes and head area, but you should push it more... just my two cents.
