Anatomy Thread of Venuscia

[Rebeccak]

Welcome, good start! :) Looking forward to more.

[Venuscia]

Thank you so much for the welcome and I hope to have another piece finished later on this evening if all goes as planned :)

[RThomson]

nice. its pretty good, apart from in da vincis the chin is alot bigger, extends out past the nose.

looking forward to seeing more.

[MiguelS]

Great start, it looks really good, great details and shading.
Only 49 left. ;)

Keep up the good work.

[NR43]

Hi
looking forward to see your progress!

[Venuscia]

Hi,

RThomson : Thanks for the comment and I realized it too this morning that the chin was a little off. :) oops

MiguelS : Thanks Miguel, the shading has been a real challenge for me using the tablet. I just hope with lots more practice it will get a little easier :)

NR43 : Hi....Here comes the next head study.....

[Venuscia]

Head Study Number 2 of 50 :)

Wasn't exactly happy with the shading this time around as my tablet and hand wouldn't agree to work together :D

Looks good, nice shapes.
Keep it up. :)

[Intervain]

beautiful head studies to kick start the thread :) Keep going :D

[Venuscia]

MiguelS :Thanks so much for the comment Miguel. ;)

Intervain : Hi there. Thank you so much for your kind words :) I hope to have a few more head studies completed this week.

[SylvanMist]

Hi there,
Very nice head studies! I especially like the first one because you have more variations in the line weight which I think make it stand out nicely.

[Venuscia]

Roja : Hi there. Thanks so much for visiting my anatomy thread and the kind words. I think I still need to tweak around with the touch sensitivity settings to be able to get my line weight worked out but I think with practice, I'll hopefully figure that out :)

[Venuscia]

Ok here is another head study from the Master Series. Botticelli's Dante Head. I decided to try my hand out with the chalk medium in Corel Painter. Haven't got it just right but will keep trying out the different settings on the future pieces.

[MiguelS]

I think this one lacks some of the depth like you've done in the other ones, still it looks good.
Keep it up.

[Venuscia]

MiguelS : I have to agree with you I wasn't exactly satisfied with the depth on this piece. I think I still have to learn and play around alot more with the blends and shades when coming to colour pieces. Hopefully with a lot more practice I will get the hang of it :) Thanks for your comment.

[Venuscia]

Ok, haven't updated with some head studies since I have had a nasty bout of the flu but that didn't stop me from doing some sketches and studies :D on paper...so here they are...

The quality isn't too great of the images since my scanner refused to co-operate today so have uploaded what I could with the camera. Maybe when the scanner starts working again I can redo the uploads here.

Nice studies, I like those noses. :)
Keep it up.

[Deepam]

Hi Sheeba !!

lots of studies you hav here. It's good to study facial features in depth, it help boost the knowledge of head. I am doing this too.
keep going . . .

[Venuscia]

@ Miguel - Hey Miguel, thanks alot for your kind words. I hope to do a few more over the next couple of days.

@ Deepam - Hi Deepam!! Thanks so much for visiting my thread. I am definately hooked onto the studies at the moment and it is great studying facial features. Keep going with your studies and I hope to do a few more eye studies and then move onto lips and ears. Then hopefully some more full head studies.

[ceruleanvii]

Nice head studies, great bunch of noses you've drawn there! :) Eyes look good too, just watch the shape of the iris, and centering the pupil -

Good work, I'll be sure to keep checking in!

[Venuscia]

@ ceruleanvii - Thanks so much for the comments. I agree I definately have to work on centering the pupil and the shape of iris. That's the main reason I have been doing so many Eye Studies... Hopefully with the studies I am working on now the improvement will show :) Hoping to update again in a few days!

[nightwoodwolf]

very beautiful sketches .. i like the nose one

[Venuscia]

@ Nightwoodwolf : Thanks you for the kind words.

Ok so here are some more Eye Studies, have been working on the nose and mouth a little but haven't gotten around to scanning them yet. Hopefully within in the next few days I will get those up along with 2 more head studies I have been working on. ;)

Hi Sheeba, very good work on the head studies. And some very intersting anatomy studies. As for the eye studies: try to draw them as a sphere, and the eyelids should follow that sphere very tightly. It is a very geometrical approach. Hope this helps! Keep going

[Venuscia]

@ batte812 - Thanks so much for the advice, will definately try to keep it in mind for my future eye studies.

Here is another head Study, this time from Da Vinci's Face of a Woman. Not too happy with the mouth though..... :D

[DivineRAiN]

nice studies you've got here, I like those noses too. The pose of the last head is a difficult one to get down. You could try redrawing it, without the stuff she's wearing on her head.

[Venuscia]

Hi everyone!

Sorry I haven't posted any updates in a while my computer crashed and I needed to replace a few things. Hopefully, I will be able to update over the next couple of days.

[sycen]

Looking forward to it :thumbsup:.
