Drawing an Orthographic - Need help with Front on Feet!

stitchshift

Hey Guys,

Well I'm currently in the process of creating a new series of characters . I decided to go back to the tried and true methods that developed my first successful characters in 3D by creating an Orthographic turnaround and modelling based on that.

My first character is called "Cel" and she is also my first punt at a female 3D character (so please be nice lol). Anyway I like drawing a base to figure out clothing options hence the nudity. I'm happy with her face.... just something about the feet bugs me... are they right?

You could look to Leonardo da Vinci for inspiration

If you look at feet for very long, they will always look strange.

Yeah but front on feet... from an orthographic stand point I find tricky... its cuz Orthographic is unpleasing to the eye... perspective really does make things feel better. However just from looking at that image I already know my characters calves are a little stiff here too... ill fix the legs next!

I think the hourglass shape on her is way too strong. Her face suggests some realism, so I'd use a waist size that is a bit more realistic as well

Ahhh I'm not trying to go realistic here... if you think she is I will probably play with her features when I have the model in front of me... DOH!
