Cheyenne is another character I designed for the project ‘Capritor’
She is a half human/ half high elf young sorceress/mage. course!). She bares the mark of a slave and is very introspective and keeps her thoughts to herself She is also a very good fighter mostly using stealth and magic or a bow and other light weapons.
Designing character - elf warrior - part 1
I prepared a tutorial showing how I approach designing characters.
In part 1, I am covering the first stages of the design, drawing a pose, anatomy. I will cover clothes design and rendering in another part coming soon : )

Dark Elf design for a project called ‘Capritor’. I’m creating designs that will be turned into figures. It will be a part of a Kickstarter project.
It is so exciting! :)
Hope you like it!
Body types for character design (realistic and stylized)
Hi! : )
Before you all dig in into this I will give you a brief introduction to these body types.
These are one of the most commonly used body types in character design, thus iI would call them the most standard body types.
They are NOT all realistic, some are stylized. However, they are based on regular, realistic body type. I would call body ‘stylized’ when the proportions of the body are not naturally found in nature. For example: if the hands are bigger than head then that is called stylized because palm width naturally equals head width.
Also, this doesn’t cover all the variety of shapes, however, it is a great place to start. From here you can try to invent body type yourself.
These examples can be used for concept art, design characters for comics, DnD etc.
If you are interested please check the link :) (or send to someone who would appreciate it )
You mention "this topic is worth to study and preparing a comprehensive tutorial." Does this mean you're working on a tutorial or that you think it's a good idea for a tutorial but will only do it if I join your VIP tier?

Hi :) There are a lot of topics that I want to work on. I have a list of future tutorials and I accept requests from my patrons for the future art guides. Patreon link: manequim_art
However, I cannot guarantee that the suggested topic will be uploaded in the near future or in the next month.
My VIP tier (that is limited to 5 people at a time) is for people who want to work on something specific that I didn’t cover or they want me to do a paint over or explain in detail to them a specific topic. Mainly people ask me to paint over the anatomy and point out their problems so they can move on quicker with their art education. However, it doesn’t have to be only anatomy topic. If you have other art related questions like drawing clothes, color, light/shadow I can also help with that :)
I hope that was useful explanation :)
I am sharing this answer so it may help other people who were wondering ;)
Basic light and shadow for a portrait.
More on my Patreon. I’ve prepared 12 examples for the female and male bust plus PSD files on how to paint shadow and light :)
Support what I do on my Patreon or please share this with someone who would need this : )

A preview of what’s coming to my Patreon. Digital painting tutorial, oh yeah!

May I inquire what happens when folds sort of trail off (what happens to the forms that the fold built and how do they fade into the regular unfolded surface on the trailing off), and what has to happen in a distortion for it to permit actually drawing the lines in the final image [moreso on less obvious examples; ie: spiral folds, curtain folds, pretty much anything that isn't a simple "hill" fold]. Ditto for forms (ex: noses and where you sometimes leave lines out depending on the orientation)

Hi, I'm a very beginner artist, I'm still working on being able to draw a face. I was wondering if you could do a face analysis to help others get the dimensions properly. I particularly have trouble with spacing the nose and mouth properly

Hi! There are several uploads from me about drawing face. I’m drawing it like a sculptor would sculpt a 3D object so it should help you with dimensions.
I have Patreon page where every week I am uploading new anatomy tips. I will be doing more tips on the face because this is a very popular topic.
Also, there’s a VIP tier in my Patreon page that you join I can focus on your specific problem and explain it personally to you to most of my capabilities.
