Thank Rebecca :slight_smile: I feel more confident thatā€™s for sure, so it has definitely not been a waste to attend this course :smiley:

Iā€™m sorry I havenā€™t replied to the mail yet, itā€™s so long that it scares me :eek:

Also, check my anatomy thread :wink:

Nice work! I really like the first page and especially how the figures flow on the page. I know you have a ton of stuff laying around in your studioā€¦because I saw it all! Take some pics and post 'em.

Well, Wes, for every challenge, there is an equal and opposite challenge. :slight_smile: You got more stuff ā€˜laying around the studioā€™? Post it up! :slight_smile:

I personally want to see a Grady vs. Wes face~off. Iā€™ve got popcorn and everything! :slight_smile:

Cheers,

Grady would win. Iā€™ve been too inactive to even give him a run for his money :slight_smile:

I have more stuff laying around, Iā€™ll post them from time to time!

#125

Wes / Grady,

Well, crap. Iā€™ll have to throw out all that popcorn. I even printed up t~shirts: Wes vs. Grady Hoe~Down 2005. Damn.

Please post when you can. :slight_smile:

Cheers,

i did this like a while ago. itā€™s one of my favorites.

jrr,

Really beautiful linework! I can see why you love this drawing ~ itā€™s not everyday that the stars align, youā€™re in the right mood, youā€™re focused but loose, and you produce a beautiful drawing where the linework is accurately descriptive yet gestural and flowing ~ itā€™s sort of the Holy Grail of Drawing ~ great stuff! Thanks for posting, again itā€™s interesting to see that sort of Sargent~esque looseness / sketchiness in this piece.

Cheers, :slight_smile:

Nice drawing JRRā€¦ how did you manage to have that look like there is another drawing showing through? What I think is awesome is the change of the position of handā€¦ so many artist only want to show a ā€œfinishedā€ drawingā€¦ I like to see the thinkingā€¦ great stuffā€¦

Pinoy McGee,

Nice studies, particularly the one of the model and the reflection. :slight_smile: deleted to avoid embarrassment! :scream:

In the last two pieces, the lower limbs seem rather short. I think you were trying to fit the models onto the page and midgetized them as a result. :slight_smile: This is a pretty common occurence, trust me, I have plenty of midget drawings myself of people who in real life are of full height. :slight_smile:

Good to see these!

Cheers,

Itā€™s Puss in Boots from Shrek 2! Shame on you for not reconizā€™in da cat :wink:

the other drawing is the back of the paper. itā€™s cheap paper. sometimes when i draw itā€™s better to have confident lines than accurate lines. when i do these types of drawings theyā€™re usually close enough. the model moved her arm mid pose and rather than go ape, i just drew it over again. sometimes that works, other times it doesnā€™t.

2 Minute drawingsā€¦ China Marker

More 2 minute drawings china marker

20 Minute Prisma colorā€¦ My photos are the greatest, but the last prismacolor drawing is all linework, and trying to define form, following the shapes and wrapping the forms based on the anatomical structure of the human formā€¦ it isnā€™t easy, and you make ALot of mistakes!

#134

Grady,

Great to see more of your work!! I especially like that last piece, which to me looks like a nice combination of Jeff Smithā€™s influence and the classical Art Center approach. Nice work! :slight_smile:

Butā€¦donde esta Wes? :scream:

Cheers,

Nice drawings, everybody. No time to post anything. Iā€™m going to be in Maryland until Monday, so maybe Iā€™ll post something when I get back :slight_smile:

#136

Wes,

Hey, you should give me a ring ~ Iā€™m in VA, not so far from MD. What are you doing on the East Coast? :slight_smile:

Cheers,

jrr,

I had a great teacher out at Art Center, Bob Kato. He runs a Drawing Workshop in Los Angeles called the Drawing Club. You should check out the website, www.thedrawingclub.com. I think you might really like the style of work which people do in Bobā€™s Workshops.

I particularly like your last piece! Itā€™s what made me think of Katoā€™s Workshops. :slight_smile:

Cheers,

This is from the open workshop today.

Bobā€™s pretty cool. I never had any of his classes, but I ate breakfast with him in the cafeteria a lot.

If I lived in LA, Iā€™d go to those workshops.

ok guys i attended a proper life drawing clas at The Princes Drawing School here in London,i did some b4,but they where crappy school onesā€¦whats really killing me is the fact that i can see, and i could see during the class what was wrong,what killed me even more is that because we had so little time than usual to do em.i couldnā€™t really correct em.

I see proportions off especially in legs weight off,most things off,things i wouldnā€™t usually have problems with if i was drawing normally.

life drawing is hard lol,hopefully iā€™ll get better,i donā€™t usaully post work i think is crap,but i care notā€¦i had summore,but iā€™ll post the less crappy ones thanku very muchā€¦

5 mins gestures

20 mins lying pose

1 hr lying pose
