faces! and boards...

Hey everyone,

I drew some people i found on the internet, its really fun and i had done it before in the past, i really suggest it to anyone looking to improve their observation skills.

I've also included a rough,rough storyboard that i did for Nerdcorps based on their 3D Tv show "dragoon booster" you can youtube some of it, well i didn't make it in but i did something new and i pushed myself in a short time to do it so i'm still happy with the result.

Cheers~

More Life drawings

Today's life drawing classes work, i took a morning and an afternoon class today with Adam, it was a first because i haven't done a full 2 classes of life drawing back to back! Anyway it was great and i wish i could do it more often, but life isn't easy and you have to do things that you don't like so...Anyway i think this is a pretty good batch of drawings, i had both a male and female model today, they both used quite a bit of props such as a stave,ball and even a club.

Life drawing is by far one of the most important aspects of getting better at drawing in general, another important thing to do is cafe drawing! I've been meaning to get into that as well as lots of great artists do this often to keep them sharp.

Lastly i highly suggest to anyone out there who hasn't already to either read or listen to some podcasts by some of the awesome artists on blogger, one of the biggest things i found helpful in designing characters or just drawing was reading what other designers do and think when working, I also find it interesting to hear experience from artists who've been working in the industry from some time, so look into Steve silver's blog and listen to his "art"casts.

cheers~

So no life drawings in this post, i had a class today but i don't think anything was good enough to post, i must have not been in the "zone" so to say.

Just some doodles from tonight, photoshop painting of a character from "Magna Carta"

cheers~

Hey all,

Some scans of last thrusday's life drawing class, poses i think were 2-5 mins long, i think i'm getting a little tiny bit better each class, i had not life drawn for well over a year since a few weeks ago.

The little fast doodles are for someone who had posted an ad looking for an artist to draw a drawing of him, these are some quick idea doodles and playing with shape/angle I'll post the final when i'm done.

you can visit his website at www.chefchopchop.com he's a local :)

cheers~

daily

Hey all,

Here is today's life drawings, poses vary from 30sec-5mins, i also tried some different tools out, you can see some of the drawings i used a black marker, i liked the feel but i need to learn better control with it.

And some other doodles that i did tonight.

If anyone's interested you can see my life drawing teachers blog over in my links section, his name is Adam Roger's and he's a super talented guy, his work speaks for himself.

Cheers~

Hey all,

some scans of yesterday's life drawing class and some doodles.

I'm going to make an effort to draw more animal characters just to change things up, i think its important for an artist to be able to do different styles and also get away from his/her comfort zone.

back

Hey Everyone,

sorry the posting wasn't happening, i came down with something nasty a few days ago and it really took me out.

I'm feeling better now though and i've scanned some more life drawings from last monday's class, i believe the poses were from 30secs or so.

On a different note i had mentioned i was working on a project with someone but that turned quite sour so the people doing it let me go, which is fine by me, the project itself wasn't what i was expecting in terms of being in order and properly run and done, so that does take a huge load of stress off my back, now i'm free to return to work on my comic and do some more animations at home.

Cheers~
