DAY 10-17 Favorites from Figure Drawing

I LIKE THIS ONE A LOT>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

AND THIS ONE TOO........

AND MY FAVORITE IN CLASS SO FAR........ FACE...check

Comic Con Korra Fan Art contest entry... sorta

I was working out an old idea I never finished for the Comic Con Korra Fan Art contest by korranation.tumblr.com, and submitted it and went to class.  When I came home I realized I liked the idea of having the firebending symbol behind Mako and not above his head. So, this one I like better, but it is not in the running to be shown at comic con... oh well.

DAY 9: Figure drawing...

I still need more practice at faces with nupastel.... pen, pencil, stylus, finger, eraser..... sure, no problem.... BUT nupastel is just tough for me.  that's all

DAY 8: 9 July 2013

This 50 minute one was probably closer to an hour, but I don't remember, we don't have a clock in the class room.

DAY 7

My favorite from class so far and a couple 5 minute poses.

DAY 6: need more practice

I personally like this 20 minute pose, I didn't get all the shading in that I wanted, but I still really like it.

DAY 5 New color test

DAY 4

DAY 4

I need to work on hands and feet and necks and faces and .... nupastel is tricky, or should I say drawing this big is tricky. I'm used to small

DAY 3: 27 June 2013

DAY 3:

The rust is starting to come off bit by bit.
I labeled the pictures this time, three 5 minutes and the last is a 20

DAY 2: 26 June 2013 Figure Drawing

 DAY 2

Still rusty but it is good to be back on the horse... so to speak... you get the joke right?

The first three are 5-10 minutes each (I think)
The last two are 20 minutes each

DAY 1: 25 June 2013 Figure drawing

DAY 1:

2.5 hours

It has been a year since my last actual figure drawing class.  I feel so rusty. But to help motivate me to become better faster I will be posting each day we have class, and probably my sketchbook assignments on days we don't have class.

Heh, forgot to keep posting in all the busy-ness

A couple speed paints (under 10 minutes each) I did a few weeks ago before class. Both are from pictures I got while in Indonesia many years ago. One of my friends took the first one and I took the second.

EDIT: It took me 40 minutes total, 20 each, somehow my brain divided the 20 by 2 and not the 40 by 2...Thats why I'm not an engineer anymore.

So the other day...

I was walking to work after classes

 and I heard this old familiar song

 I hadn't heard this song in awhile

 and as it got louder

 I needed to see where it was coming from

 A rather unexpected source

 A tough looking guy in a sedan

 (It's funnier when I think of him in a sports car though)

 Obviously I was going to smile

 It was a sight to behold, then he...

 GLARED 

 !!

 Not my fault he likes Hanson

Digital Cave Painting

I decided to continue working on this tonight, I’m still not happy with it, but I’ll take a look at it tomorrow. Nick artist program here I come!!

Something new

Something I thought of the other day.  1920s-40s detective with tech from the future. On his wrist is a holographic smart watch, thing Robin from Young Justice the animated series (boy will I miss that show)  Still working on story ideas, but this is the first sketch I have for it.

A cave I was drawing during a meeting on Saturday.  I am still working on it, but I wanted to post something since it’s been awhile.  I am applying to the Nick Artist Program at the end of the week and am putting the finishing touches on my portfolio.  Crunch time always brings out the best… or sometimes worst.  If only I could trick my mind into thinking I have a deadline every morning… hmmm that’s an idea
