Artwork: Swordsman Toa



Drawn By: WrittenDusk

I finished this in late January, but because I was really late with starting the Chinese New Year drawing I decided to hold on to this post until after Chinese New Year.

For this drawing my main objective was to include more perspective in my drawings. I didn't want start with anything too fancy yet, just something simple and effective. My other objective was to continue with more character design. I'm quite happy about the colours and the details on the clothing, but I would want to change the design of the collar next time; it just doesn't feel as cohesive as I wanted it to be.

As I finished the drawing I found my composition lacking impact, so I decided to change up my framing a bit. The one I prefer is the top one, while the bottom one is the original composition. I felt shifting the emphasis more on to the sword made more sense for the drawing and adds more impact.

What do you think?

A couple days late, but better late than never! Honestly not the best new year start for me, but it is just the beginning. There is still the rest of the year to look forward to!

With that out of the way.

Happy Year of the Pig! I wish everyone a safe, healthy, and prosperous new year!
