Of things done and doing....

Lately I've been working on a not so secret project that is close to
my heart. More info to come soon, but here's a clue. Can you guess
what it is?

Sometimes you just don't want them anymore

Or at least that's how it seems. I always feel bad for abandoned
toys, don't you?

Butt Paste!!!!

This is one of the best named products I have ever encountered. Too
bad the people it is used on aren't aware of the awesomeness of the
name.

Enjoy, and let's hope that you never have to experience its soothing
qualities.

Eye candy

My friend was in a book called eye candy last year, and he's trying
for it again this year. The book and his attempts have inspired this
drawing. My own sexy girl. Hope you like.

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!
