Before and After Meme Albel Nox

Description

IF THERE ARE TOO MANY WORDS AHEAD, SKIP TO THE END

So I've been wanting to do one of these for a while...&& I finally did and decided on my 2006 drawing of Albel.
I think I used color pencils and crayons to color it. lololol... (I somehow thought it'd be a good idea??)

Anyway, I was super proud of it way back when since it was one of my first attempts at posing a character
in a cool way all on my own without using a pose reference...plus, it's Albel...I love em' so much...like...UGH!
If I were to do one of those Influence Map memes...well...he'd definitely be there! but I'm not going to get
into that right now... > 3 > I'll share with you as to why and how some other time. ~GummiDemon
would know what I mean thought.<3 = 3 = *chu*

I ended up editing it so much...I really liked the face but I had the hardest time with his hair so I had to go and
stare at pictures of him for a long time. At first I had made his hair very detailed but then I realized it just didn't
go well together so I completely started over. While working on the body...I was so lost it had been such a long
time since I had drawn a serious half body so I kept editing it and adjusting things until I left it for a while.

During the break I decided to really get into understanding the male anatomy so looked up tutorials that had some
very useful visuals and tips...not to mention I had my hubby help me with confirming all the info I had just taken in
So I kinda studied him lol since I mean...what other way would be more perfect!?

After I felt I had taken in a good amount of knowledge I brought up the meme again and continued to draw it
&& DAAAAAMNNN was it tons times much better than what I originally had. I finally felt like it looked right and
very sexy. =//3//= If I showed you the guidelines I drew out you'd probably laugh because after the shoulders
it...it just doesnt' match to what I have now! lol So I'm so happy with the results! && I will definitely do some
more anatomy study!

Oh yeah, and with the hair, I didn't even line the hair until after I was satisfied with the body. lol It was just
the filled in color/shape of it and...I kinda liked that method. Drawing in the shape and then drawing the lines on top
helps in drawing the flow of the hair better; for me anyway. c:

So, I think I learned a lot from doing this meme.
