Anatomy Lesson Series: Body Part 2 - The Torso

#561

#016 conté on newsprint, 24 x 36 (61 x 91 cm)

I’m trying to speed it up, and rip through these. I think you learn more by doing 20 1-hour drawings, than 1 20-hour drawing.

#18

RobertoOrtiz: I like the muscle defination in your painting.
Womball: very nice, keep them coming.
kmscottmoore: Your shading is very fluid, I like man.
ha-dou-ken: Very life like, nice use of colors in your painting.
intervain: I think the leg looks fine, very nice.

Ruos: Thank you Ruos. Kick ass kneeling woman, also.
michael-olszak: I know what you mean on proportions with the body. I am having trouble with it depending on how limbs are sometimes. Keep up the great work, and thank you for your comments as well.
vanlicht,Frejasphere, thank you for your comments.

I am going to try and get 10 torsos by Sat., not sure if thats going to happen. In the mean time here is another one.

spartan02 - thank you :slight_smile: really nice Michaelangelo from you!

HuiTzu - woah the subtlety of your paintings is incredible - I’m in love :wink: more please!

zhuzhu - excellent as always… I feel stupid really to have nothing more to say to your work hehe… seems like a broken record.

YMS - nice sketches :slight_smile:

RobertoOrtiz - waiting for the sketches! that guy looks scary somehow :smiley:

ha-dou-ken - great colours like I’ve said before - little dizzying that green :smiley:

[color=Lime]kmscottmoore - lovely torso there!

Womball[/color] - nice sketches - really like the geometrical feel of #18!

keep’em coming everyone - pleasure to look on all the work

Hey guys,

It’s phenomenal to watch the amount and quality of work pouring in - this is just a quick and friendly reminder that we’re approaching the ‘official’ deadline for the Workshop, which is:

[b]The end of the day (wherever you are) this Saturday, October 14th.

[/b][left]As with nearly all Workshops here on the Anatomy Forum, this Workshop will never actually close - people who started later than the official open date are welcome to continue posting here or simply to use the reference posted to the beginning of the thread to create their own Master Copies.

As always, I encourage those who have not done so to create their own Personal Sketchbook Thread here:

Personal Anatomy & Sketchbook Threads
http://forums.cgsociety.org/forumdisplay.php?f=200

Big thanks to all participants here and I look forward to seeing everyone’s final push! :slight_smile:

Cheers,

Intervain: Thanks! Great on the last one, thanks for the play by play also. That’s always useful and entertaining.The foot- Noooo!lol.

awsome works everyone

I feel a little sad when Rebeccak remind the deadline, I am afraid of not seeing so many good works here anymore:sad: . But I think I will continue anyway, until the total 50 are done, maybe in my incoming sketchbook. Hope I can see you guys then!:scream:
Sorry about my English:D

I haven’t posted for a while, since I’m traveling. But you have all been extremely prolific - a great variety of work/technique to learn from and really noticeable development in everybody’s work.

I started my first “real” drawing with my new Wacom and Photoshop, but couldn’t finish it before I left. I decided to post it now so I’ll at least have one more torso :). Since I was struggling to figure out what all those bumps were supposed to be, I blocked out the muscles groups crudely and planned on erasing them after finishing shading.

039:
MICHELANGELO Buonarroti
Study for the Libyan Sibyl

So now I’m back to pencil. Here’s a quick one done at the airport on a tiny sketch pad – smaller is definitely not easier!

070:
PONTORMO, Jacopo
Hermaphrodite Figure

080:
VITTORIA, Alessandro
St Sebastian

Still working and hoping to get a couple in before the deadline. All in all this has been a wonderful workshop – thanks Rebecca – and to think there will be more, just makes my heart skip :).
