Here’s a few from 2010, 3-10 minutes sketches.
Working on design rather tan tone.
AztcFireFlower's Figure Work
You know, this is the third figure thread I’m creating, all my other ones have been blown out or locked away…let’s see if I can keep this one going. Oh yeaaah. Limits on image size, number of posts in batch and need for an image host. :argh:
I would love to see CGSociety lifting the limits on uploads. would make it easier for artists to share work.
Anyway,
After going through a billion steps on image host. :rolleyes:
Here’s some of my better sketches.
The portraits are under Glen Orbik’s (my most influential drawing teacher) tutelage.

HEY…Welcome back Esmeralda :wavey: 
…You know, I just gave the link to your old sketchbook to a woman over at ZBRUSH Central the other day…She was doing studies of anatomy, and I thought of your sketchbook, and thought it would be of use and inspiration to her…Here is the link to her thread and my reply to her over there…

Hope you don’t mind me passing your thread around…It’s just one of the best examples of how to study the human figure that I know of out there.
Anyway, it’s great to see that you are still at it, and haven’t lost that beautiful touch of yours…Always a real pleasure seeing that hand of yours at work discovering new things as it moves along so gracefully.

Welcome back!
Happy to see your drawings here again. Can always learn a thing or two by looking closely at them
How do you control the proportions when doing these quick ones? I tend to spend a lot of time just to make sure my proportions are somewhat correct.

Hey razz!
Thank you! I’e always liked this forum and now have some new stuff to post as I explore further skills.
As far as proportions, I eyeball alot. Having said that, in short poses I rely heavily on shape and relative spatial relationships. Find things that line up. Eyeline to raised hand, etc.
I do have a sort of proportion grid, that I’ve memorized, that I mentally project, as a backup. This helps to ballpark my estimations. So, I use observation as well as a memorized a proportion system.
Some 5-10 minute sketches.

Hi Glenn!
Thank you. I appreciate your welcome back. I liked posting here, but the inconvenience of using a hosting site was a, and still kinda is, a deterrent. Not as convenient as ConcetptArt.org.
But, I’ll try and keep this thread current.
How do you find this forum, nowadays. Is there a lot of activity in the drawing forums? Is there support input by forum leaders? What do you think. I’ve been away for a long time, so, i don’t really know how the CGTalk forums are these days.
Here are a few more 5 - 10 minute sketches.

Hi Esmeralda
Myself,…I just use this space to store a record of my works and progress, so that everything I do is in one place… If I am remembering corectly,…that is originally what this sketchbook section was put in place and set up for.
As for the interaction between artist,…seasoned, and not so seasoned…which is where the learning takes place…well…it must be taking place elsewhere, because it certanly isn’t happening in here…not to the extent that it should or could, or was happening.
Without the workshops…this whole setup is a mere ghostly shadow of what it was and could be, and was originally intended to be…Kind of like a ship without a captain…wandering aimlessly across the open sea so to speak.
When I met and talked with Rebecca here in Boston years ago,.she said that as always,… money would be the downfall of this great and free system of learning that was set up by her in this forum, and as usual,she was correct…
I still think that the idea of keeping everthing in one place was and is a good idea though…if for posterity’s sake, if nothing else…One just never knows what lies ahead in this vast ocean of time that we all travel upon.
