Zomg it's Goya..HE'S BACK!
He's the same, but improved..like, A LOT.

For some watchers this is yet another bare chest-up..but this time, since these looks will be permanent I decided to make this piece my official ref sheet for Goya and his body.
It's awesome to refine your characters after not drawing them in a while, and to see how more perfectly they come out as the appear to be in your mind. I've always dreamed, for example, of drawing Goya's rear body and bring out the contrast between his heavy build shoulders and slender waist.
There are some refined details and little changes Goya's face..his cheekbones are more slim, his face longer, his hair grew longer, his nose is rougher and there is some space between the foreteeth. He looks more adult, as he should be..he's approaching his 30's.

The drawing started as a plain front bare body, the idea to add the rear came later. I traced the front piece on a new sheet and turned it into a rear, to keep the front details the same and mirrored it during scanning. The rear body took more effort to draw since I've always been more focussed on the front and forgot about the other side.lol But my human anatomy tutorial book helped me a lot!
I'm not too satisfied with the rear hands, and there is one more tiny flaw that disturbs me a little: wich is one of the armes being more lifted that makes the overall body tilt a bit. These things become more noticable after you mirror your piece.
So, critiques would be welcome..but pls don't flame at that right rear hand, it took me most of the effort in this whole piece!!DX

And if I practice long enough with digital colouring,..and when I get the time to do it you might see this piece again soon in colour!

Goya: to me®
Hylia: to Nintendo®

I like how you can see the little changes here and there! Oh, the wonders of evolution.
Looking mighty fine Goya is.

What I focus on is how sort his arms are. That's about it.

The body looks amazing as well do other places. *cough cough*

Anyways!! I love the style, its more, I don't know, I can't really fine the word for it. But it makes your artwork, show more of its true character and seems to allow the creativity to flow easier. :3 Or something in that nature.
