Styles Change With Time. Wanna See It?

We all change with time, if we didn't it would be boring. People change in the way they dress, the way they eat, The way they look. But just like that happens in many things drawing is no different. Drawing styles change, evolve which is what usually happens to artists who have been doing it for many years. 

Like it happened to Akira Toriyama, the creator of he Dragon Ball franchise. and to show you how this happened to him as well here are two pictures of the same character (although if you know this franchise you might have noticed this changes too) in this focus on Goku

First picture is from the before mentioned main character Goku in 1989 which is when this Volume was first published. 

Second picture is of the same character but in 1995. It is the same artist who drew these two images, yet the change is clear. To help illustrate the changes.

On the first picture, the character's jaw is quite squarish, while on the second one is more rounded. as well with the nose, that altough it is on a slightly different pose, the nose is still a little more detailed for the second picture. Not to mention that although this character has aged; plot-line wise he is not supposed to age as rapidly. So, even if that argument were to be made it is not likely to put the change in style to the aging of the characters.

Looking at both images there is more detail applied into the second one than there is to the first one. different tones and background. There is more of a perspective of whee light sources comes in the second one than on the first first one. Plus the hair, it looks bigger on the second one.   For this example I compared images of the same character on how he looks on the first volume of Dragon Ball Z to the last volume of the very same comic book.

There are many examples of this but I find this comic to be one of the most relevant ones, when it comes to it. Especially since, this aside from being a comic book, is one of the most well known Japanese animated series of all times. 

 

New video: Fun Hobby

Hello everyone.

For this week's post I prepared a video. It's about Shelley Burgess and her hobby: Drawing.

I hope you enjoy the video. I think that drawing though it is life to many to some of us drawing is a hobby, like it is to Burgess. I know that the editing of this video isn't the best. butt don't judge too harshly please because trust me. I did my best. I'm just not very good at editing. Aside from that, I hope you can somehow relate to her, and if not, it's up to you. Like a always say Draw like a Boss have a very nice week.

Video is right here

Draw a Face Step-by-Step Part 2

This is the last part of the tutorial I promise, and more than a tutorial this post is about how the face looks at the end. I added the details on her eyes, and also color. Although I'm not the best at coloring you most definitely don't have to color it because you are the boss. 

This is what we left off with

 As can be seen I added some details to the eyes. Next I colored on the brows and lashes, Also colored the bow on the head pink.

Once I colored her eyes color green and bit of yellow, I colored her head and this is the result. 

With this I conclude this tutorial. If you're wondering why I didn't color her clothes is because I wanted all the focus to be on her face, however I still drew the sweater on her because she looked weird not wearing anything, Tehee!
