So last night I went home and did some casual drawing of feet. I'm slowly developing a phobia as some of the references out there are not pretty at all...
I think awkward angles of the feet are easier to draw. It's the side on photos of feet that really trip me up. I figure as with hands if I keep this up a bit I'll eventually understand it better although the fruits of just a small amount of reference practice are that the 14th and 15th one here is from memory. They aren't perfect but at least they have a bit more shape and structure than usual.
Wildcard Time!
I've been thinking as Saturday isn't technically a work day anyway, I might use it for practice that isn't necessarily to do with my project and so begins wildcard Saturdays! This should hopefully stop me from getting distracted during the week by doing things that aren't relevant.
Today i've been working on my modelling skills, i happen to have sat in many of the lower years modelling lessons this week and it's making me want to improve my modelling skills. I don't really rate my modelling skills very highly at all at the moment, i can usually get the model to look like what i want but it takes a long time and i'm pretty sure the topology could do with a lot of improving.
I picked a character from the internet, even though it does ask people not to reproduce it I'm only using it for practice so I hope they won't mind.

Here's the image i've been using as it says on the image it's by Zara Alfonso.
I haven't finished.. I've modelled most of the day sporadically and this is what i have so far. I'll continue it next Saturday if I still have the modelling bug.
Things i'm proud of
There's actually interesting topology on the coat!
I only used 2 triangles in the whole model, the rest are quads.
Things that aren't so great
How long it's taken me to actually get this far
Trying to get the coat to match the concept is impossible and I got confused.. i swear there was more shape to it at one point.
