Artwork: Taking a Break


Drawn By: WrittenDusk

Finally drew something that has a mech in it! 

I've always wanted to draw and design some sort of robot, or mechanical suit, but I've never really found the confidence and willingness. Most of my attempts stops half way because I always end up feeling overwhelmed by the details. But after seeing my recent improvements, I felt that it's about time I seriously tackled this challenge again.

What makes the details overwhelming for me when drawing robots is not the actual design of it, but rather its movements and functions. This is because each part of the robot has its own shape that is maintained throughout most of its movements. To make sure each part is recognizable in different poses and perspectives, I have to specifically figure out and study the parts I have trouble with separately from the overall design itself. 

I think it turned out better than I expected overall, but when compared to my previous drawings, I feel like I could have improved more.
