shyamshriram: Really loved seeing your color quickies :bowdown:
audit: Good job! I know you will get faster just try some more :wavey:

Damn… this sitting woman with a laptop was super hard to draw! It was the most complicated piece so far for me… The fact that the ground is tilted really confused me so much…
Also most of the joints are hidden somewhere! … And they beauty of the subject is confusing so much more:argh:

I had to try 4 times to really understand why i was so confused… Here are them tries… 15 min each… but second one 16min

Please please some of you guys try to draw this pose… I dont know is it just me, but it was really complex.

#509

Nice one, Sheep! :smiley:

Hehe, I’m sure there are other nice works, will be running home shortly to check 'em out. :smiley:

Well, I decided I’d try some new stuff today. It’s been a long time since I’ve really sat down and done an extended study, so I gave that a shot in place of my 15 minute drawing. It took me about 1 and a half hours so I’ll post it on the OFDW 8 thread. Here is one at 2 min and another at 7. I like the faster one a lot better.

RMM,

I think it is crucial when learning to draw (and that goes for all stages of one’s artistic development, I’ll be learning how to draw for the rest of my life) to draw fast, 2 minute studies. I think these are really important for building perception and sheer reflexive response while drawing. Also, the key bit about short poses is that they are fun! Once you get a bit addicted to them and have done enough of them (a few hundred should do it) :wink: then you will begin to realize that you can start to put what you have learned while doing the short / fast, poses into the longer ones. You’ll really start to infuse energy and life into your longer poses in the long run!

Cheers, :slight_smile:

I went for the 15 minute pose first, but went a minute or two over as I struggled with the face badly… :rolleyes:

#515

And here’s a portrait of the same lady:

Took a little longer than 15 mins tho heh :slight_smile:

#516

Bah. No time to color. Torso’s a bit long, too. Interesting pose, though.

#517

scorpion007,

I am really liking your sketch style a lot, particularly on the fast / energetic poses! I think the more static / sitting poses are harder, because there’s not much motion to capture. It might make more sense to do value studies for these / vs. taking a linear approach ~ but that’s just my opinion. :slight_smile:

Great to have you on the thread! :slight_smile:

Cheers,

#518

Thank you for the compliment, Rebeccak. For the static poses, do you suggest I focus less on the line work and more on blocking in values? Kinda like painting it? Not sure I understood 100% what you meant.

#519

Here’s another dynamic one:
