Class Drawings 2

Let's just say that they're...meh. The ones I did yesterday morning are much better I think. Then again, these are full frontal shots so I had a lot more detail to work with. Gotta get back into daily practices! So not looking forward to go back to toronto next week....sigh

Getting the Hang of Charcoal

I've been out of practice lately due to my gaming habits...but I think I've been improving and becoming more comfortable with charcoal :) The books I've been reading are helping a ton.

First Paper Sculpture

I'm no Brittney Lee...But I tried. Did this for my gf's birthday.

Some Stuff I Did for Class

Had some warm ups I did on a quick value scale as well as practicing different kinds of line and hand movements. Also did some feet and hand studies today for class. Most are 1 and 5 min gestures. Last one was a one hour figure, and still didn't have enough time to finish and polish it.

Newest Additions to my Art Book Library

Just got these three beauties yesterday and I have to say that I'm very happy with all three books. Batman Animated takes a look into the concept art, character sheets and storyboards for the Batman animated television series. If anything, the storyboards are the real trophy in the book. Absolutely can't be missed if that's what you're into seeing.

Bruce Timm is the artist behind the character designs for Batman, Justice League, etc as we know them in the television show. The book is basically one long interview with the artist and it's interesting to see his other works outside of the DC universe.

Now here's my favourite book out of the bunch that I received (even one of my favourite books out of my whole library). The marvel works from Marko Djurdjevic are in this beautifully laid out and thick book. Print quality is amazing on his paintings and sketches and to sweeten the deal, he provides commentary and critiques on most of the pieces. This is really a fantastic book showcasing a very very talented artist. I'd definitely recommend anyone to pick this one up.

New Drawing for the Day

Went to the coffee shop today to get some reading and drawing done. Unfortunately I got in more reading than the latter. Pulled up a quick pose and got this down significantly faster than all the other poses I've done so far. Which either means I'm getting better at this or I'm just becoming very comfortable with the contrapposto pose. It's good news either way but I should be pushing myself to more challenging poses that I've never done before.

Class Drawings

Just some pre-class and during-class drawings I did today. Nothing new and no new epiphanies either
