shambler,

Hey there, nice to see you here. :slight_smile: Is this marker, I take it? The study is quite nice in terms of basic planes ~ do you ever work in charcoal? Any reason you don’t post very often? :slight_smile:

BTW, I can’t view your webpage ~ is it down?

Cheers,

Finally got around to taking some photos of my life drawings, most are quick sketches from class. I believe the max is 5 minutes… Sorry for the poor quality…

There is an abundance of talent here…

What’s funny is I believe I was in a class with you Rebeccak at Art Center, I think it may have been Peter Zokosky’s class or Bob Kato, I can’t remember… May have been Dave Limrite…

Good to see you doing good things…




Media - china marker…
Eventually I hope to do some long studies from life, just don’t seem to have time though…

lipten,

Ok, you can’t just tease me like that ~ :scream: ~ what is your real name? :slight_smile:

Great drawings, by the way! :slight_smile:

EDIT: Okay, I think I know who you are…Grady? :slight_smile: ROFL, is it? I’m dying to know! :scream:

Cheers, :slight_smile:

30 min charcoal life drawing, which I don’t really like. Mostly because I didn’t like the ligthing I got, which had way too much contrast for my personal taste. But anyways, my teachers seemed to like it enough to show the rest of the class, so I figured some of you might as well.

Big 50 min ligthing study. Imho not as good as my Rembrandt lighting study I posted about two weeks ago in that Masters thread (http://www.flickr.com/photos/50512902@N00/45604112/in/set-1078643/), but once again, my teachers really really liked it. Maybe it’s got more to do with Rembrandt’s skill than mine, I don’t know.

I’m psychic like that. :slight_smile: ROFL, check your messages. :wink: Great to have you here, Grady! You should join our Open Figure Drawing Workshops here ~ we’re on OFDW 005. :slight_smile:

About time he shows some of his figure work!

Wes,

Cheers,

#112

Wes you just got punked… The Last thing on the planet that should happen is me and Wes being on the same forum together…

#113

Yes…:slight_smile: I exist to punk former ACCD’ers ~ it’s the light of my existence! Well, ‘lipten’, you are much closer geographically to Wes ~ give 'em hell, I say! :thumbsup:

Cheers,

Hmmm…I haven’t drawn in over 3 years from a figure model. I could post old stuff though.

“The Last thing on the planet that should happen is me and Wes being on the same forum together.”

Hahaah…true, true.

#115

Wes,

Hey, I don’t mind if it’s old work. :slight_smile: I think it can be instructive for other people to see. You were quite good at this, as I remember. :slight_smile: Post!

Cheers,

Ok…here goes.

This first image was a charcoal drawing from Limrite’s class and we had to exaggerate the entire figure in some way. I lopped the head off, elongated the body and really made the hips/thighs really large.

Here is a charcoal+nupastel on Canson charcoal paper. I usually use a cream colored nupastel for highlights because I don’t like using pure white. I was pretty happy with it except that I rendered too much of the cloth near the bottom of the image. It was an all-day pose and the workshop was full, so I couldn’t move anywhere. I think Grady was drawing next to me that day.

Another drawing, same technique as above:

This next image is a really old drawing from Zokosky’s class. Prismacolor on newsprint. I liked using that particular color of Prisma because it was somewhat the same color as a sanguine pencil. This was of course a was shorter pose:

Charcoal on Canson paper:

One of those super-quick gestures from Bob Kato’s class…man this is ancient:

That’s it for now :shrug:

#117

I always liked that first one… The contrast is sweeeet! Kinda Steve Hustonesq… You need to get back to the drawing workshops… You aren’t that far from ACCD… you get a pass to puch undergrads off of benches being alumni and all… (just kidding undergrads)… So just do it… Good stuff though…

#118

Wes,

Awesome stuff!! Thanks for posting. :slight_smile: Grady, lol, pushing undergrads off benches…now is that really so nice? :slight_smile:

Ah, these take me back to the good old days… :slight_smile: ~ Really beautiful work, thanks for putting it up. :slight_smile:

It’s a shame you don’t do more of it. :slight_smile:

Cheers,

~Rebecca

Just wanted to post one of my latest pieces that I’m actually pleased with :slight_smile:

Done with graphite pencil(pen or pencil?)… Eh, sharpened graphite stick :slight_smile: Don’t know if I actually spent 30 minutes on it but that was the alloted time so I’ll stick with it. Wonderful drawings and sketches posted here, makes me want to improve so much more :slight_smile:

#120

Peter,

I can definitely see you’re improvement! It’s exciting to watch…you should always save your old drawings as a reference point for how far you’ve come. I recommend dating them as well.

Great stuff! Look forward to seeing more. :slight_smile:

Cheers, :slight_smile:
