Black cloud

Women, women, women....

These 2 pieces were drawn at the last Drawing class i went to. There was something samey about her poses so i took that time to try to define her form a bit better. As you can see i usually avoid faces as i have a tendency to make them look flat and the also samey. But again something else to work on. Funny how starting a blog makes you more aware of what needs to be done to improve your art, than probably art school/class alone does. I guess like a journal, where you write down your thoughts and thus go more into them, a blog forces you to show your work and thus justify or not justify them. 

Either way, off to Philly today on a day trip, so you may get a quick pic of the Frida Kahlo exhibit i am off to see, and maybe some local renditions of her work by your truly.

Two more drawings.

A couple of weeks ago i posted a picture based off a photograph that i enjoyed in a magazine. I have since then purchased more magazines of that same type and produced first a quick color study of one of them... such as the pic on the left, and then last night i decided to tackle a slightly more complicated pose with the pic in the right. I also decided to practice the rendering techniques that many years of HS/College drawing classes taught me and emphasized in me. I hope it meets with everyone's tastes, but if it doesn't well...... tough. I enjoyed making and showing these two pieces. And you'll probably see more in this vein in the weeks to come. 

Ps: I'm very proud of the way the feet and hands came out on the right. They're not perfect, but they're definitely better than what i would usually tackle. I'm thinking of doing a series of feet drawings, since they are so hard to do. Practice, practice, practice makes perfect!

Not ready for her close-up!

Been working on a tiny test of animation, but my program keep fraking
with me. Shot about 6 sec of animation today and can only see 3 sec.
Bummer. Once I get it all worked out you'll get to see it.

Something to keep you occupied

Just a small bit of inspiration while I whip something wonderfull up.

Something Colored and Finished!

Just to throw you all a curve ball and post up something that isn't just a sketch or drawing class. I drew this up last friday sitting on the bed watching bad tv. It's from a photograph, so i had to fudge some details, but it is 100% hand drawn and colored. The only thing computer generated is comping the scans together since it was drawn on 12x16 and my scanner doesn't see past 9x12. let me know what you think.

Figure Drawing Class 02/28/08

So these are the drawings from last the last class. I really liked how the last one came out, so I'm posting it up. I started to fall asleep because of over stress and had to go early. Thank god at least one came out good. Hope you all like.
