Dynamic Poses

I've continued with the drawing poses by using the drawing tool at PixelLovely.com thanks to Sycra for this.  These are some of the results I was getting while using that tool.

The poses varied from 30 sec - 2-5min long and I was able to get good practice with those.  Its also a great place for reference images since your not tied in to an specific image and can jump around for what your looking for.  

I also tried David Finch's approach to figure drawing using a Gnomon dvd he created.  I've had it since last summer but hadn't really gone over it. >.<

These are some of the results I got from following that.  I only was able to go thru around 15-20min of video so far but I really like his approach and looking forward to finish seeing the whole dvd.

 So thanks for stopping by and I'll post some more stuff as I go along.  :)

Cya soon and enjoy the rest of your week.

Proportion with a slight anatomy...

I started drawing again today following tutorials from PencilKings.com.  This time I focused on poses and proportions with some knowledge of anatomy.  The tutorials from Laurie B are really good and I love her drawing style.  She explains everything in very easy to understand terms.  I haven't looked too much at the other artists on there yet, but hopefully I will soon.  Knowing how other artists work and think is a big plus! :)

So anyways these are some of the sketches I was doing as I followed along

Body Proportions

Starting with Poses on these

After following the lessons on drawing the body I noticed I was having difficulty with hands and feet.  So I covered those lessons right afterwards and here are the sketches for those.

Hand Composition

 Feet Composition

Already I'm seeing some improvements after those.

Thats what I've been doing so far.  I'm kinda of stuck as to where I need go after the lessons.  Maybe magazines or videos, don't know yet.  >.< 

As far as how much I've been drawing.  Well not as much as I thought I would.  I actually skipped 1-2 days from it :(   Still figuring out how to juggle that with work.  I don't carry a sketchbook with me all time and I know I should.

So anyways thats it for today.  I'll be back later with more drawings still and see how that goes.  Have a great weekend!

The Human Skull & Face Proportions

I've been doing some skull and face proportions by following Laurie B. at Pencil Kings.  Its a really neat site with a could of instructional lessons on whatever area your struggling with.  I haven't been drawing as much for a while so I'm going back and reviewing everything.  I encourage everyone to take a look at the PencilKings website. :)

These are a couple of drawings I did as I followed along with the videos.

Studies of the Skull

Facial feature placement and movement

Study of Baby/Child Features

I plan on working on full body anatomy soon.  Which will be a lot of fun.  The last time I drew poses and full body images was about 5 years ago >.<  So wish me luck.  I'm hoping that it'll all return to me once I get started LOL  Until then, hope your having a great week and I'll see you all soon. :) bye

An illustrator/Concept Artist wanna be...

Finally I decided to set up a blog!

 I decided to do a blog because I've wanted to jump in the illustrative path career and I think having this blog to push me to post about my progress would be awesome.  So I propose to post my progress with my drawing ability and later on digital painting.  This following drawing I was sketching from videos on Youtube.  I actually did this one back in June. LOL Which is the time I should of had this blog up but I guess it was just procrastination.  HAHAHA.  I'm working on this I promise ;) 

And this is another one around the same time.  I was following a Gnomon dvd from David Finch.

I leave you with these to track my progress and I'll be back with fresh new ones soon.  Trying to figure out how often I'll be posting :p

Until next time have a great rest of your sunday and hope to see you tag along :)
