Your food posts always make me hungry ;A; Is bulgogi hard to make?
Congrats on the extraction! 8D
I really like your shading on the artwork. :D Good job on that. The pose feels pretty nice too as are your details. If you don't mind me mentioning, the body still seems small compared to the head though. It should be at least another head longer in proportion to make it balanced to the width and size of the head. The right arm looks a little odd because of the lack of folds at the elbow joint indicating the bent and foreshortened arm. At a glace, it looks stunted which is a pity because I think you drew the palm and the pot really well so I think the folds would communicate it a lot better.
I think my favourite shading is on the shoes. nice and sparkly clean XD The effect that you did mirror-ing the artwork is pretty cool though it grates on me a little since seeing the exact reflection under the character's feet throws off my perception of the ground plane that he's standing on. It sort of looks like he's floating on his toes as opposed to standing on the ground. But I guess for a picture with no background and a standalone it doesn't stick out too much : D Overall its nicely done though XD
Bulgogi is really easy because I use a sauce/marinade pre-mix that I buy from the Asian market. There's recipes online for the full marinade you can make yourself but I'm just lazy. :P I do add some kecap manis to the final sauce to sweeten it up a bit.
Yea, I'm terrible at drawing foreshortened arms. I wasn't going to bother with looking for a ref because it takes me ages to find one that corresponds with the pose I chose. I might correct that before I scan in the finished pencil piece (I worked on this from a photo of the picture). I have a tendency to draw the heads too big always. I wasn't aiming for fashion model proportions (8 heads) though so would it matter? Or is everyone like a standard head size thing?
I tried adding a perspective effect to the reflection but I felt it just made the picture look too unbalanced (like his legs would be tilting to one side).
