Thanks for the crit! You are right about the volume on those lower torsos. I’ll have to be sure and pay more attention.

You are doing an amazing job moderating this forum. Your dedication to helping out the community is inspiring. Keep it up :thumbsup:

All done with a .05 pencil on 11 x 14 sketch pad.

Maybe I should put the stump away…kinda starting to like hatch again…

Sheff,

I’m really diggin’ that first sketch on the upper left of your first page especially ~ has a real old school confidence in the line and tone work which I find refreshing to see! I’d like to see more of your charcoal / tone drawings ~ I think those are really cool also. Also I’m just a sucker for these kinds of drawings ~ chalk it up to years of doing them. :wink:

Thanks for posting this cool work! :cool:

Cheers, :slight_smile:

Thanks Rebecca, that one is my favorite too. The original is actually much smaller but it was the only one from that paget that I liked so I blew it up more.

Hopefully soon I will start my own anatomy thread and start posting big charcoal there. I’m actually trying to move away from tone and move back towards rhthymic(sp) lines more. It’s just that I’m getting too varied in my values and not focusing enough on simpler shapes.

Laters,

Looking forward to it! :slight_smile:

Quick Gesture from class…

SurfGod69a,

Great to see you back! This is a really nice drawing ~ I like the structural breakdown approach you’ve got going, and the stylization of the figure. It would be great to see more drawings like these! Is this the approach you’re being taught, or just doing on your own within the context of your class? :slight_smile:

Cheers,

Most are two minute drawings… The last one are a couple of 20 minute drawings… sometimes I feel like I’m getting slower and slower… I hope it isn’t true!

Hope the images aren’t too small… let me know, and I can do larger pics…

Hey Ice Tea guy! :scream:

I think it would be great to see larger versions ~ then we could see the detail. :thumbsup: Nice stuff Grady! :slight_smile:

Where do you attend Drawing Workshops? :slight_smile:

Cheers,

Lipten doesn’t only make iced tea…

And Hot Tea Black is My drink of Choice…

Most of these are from a Class I teach at AI - San Diego

I was trying to keep the res low… I can re-up later…

Came across this thread while browsing CGTalk (there’s just too many threads to keep track of!). It’s been ages since I’ve posted anything hereabouts, and since I’ve already had these images uploaded, I thought it’s time I put up stuff.

We’ve got a weekly life drawing session going so I might be able to upload stuff regularly. Any comments appreciated!

They range from 5 min to 15 min with a focus on gestures (vital I believe for animation).
2B-4B pencils on cartridge paper. My apologies for the large images!

mahir,

Welcome to the Anatomy Forum! :slight_smile: Glad to see your work, and I hope you post your work as you progress through your class. :thumbsup:

I think you have a nice basic sense of the overall form ~ but what I think you might want to try to focus on is, after establishing the basic proportions / layout of the figure, try going in to add more line weight variation to your marks, to increase the interest and sense of emotional tension in your drawings. Here’s a demo I did ~ not a perfect drawing by any means, but I’m just posting it to show an example of getting a bit of line variation / difference in line thickness and width (this is a copy of a master drawing):

Thanx for the tip Rebecca!
I’ll try to focus more on that in the next session.

winterhart,

Welcome aboard! Great to see your work ~ I quite like the chalk pastel and conte works especially! :slight_smile: I hope you will continue to post your work, and participate in our zany Workshops around here ~ the current one being the 15 Minute Sketchathon, which is a Sticky thread at the top of this forum. :slight_smile:

Glad to have you here, and hope you will find things that interest you!

Cheers, :slight_smile:

These are a few pieces from life drawing class. These were done during one class period, so we about 2 hours time to do these minus all the breaks. Thanks for taking a look.

I didn’t have time to finish the right foot on this one.

Kyna,

While there are a few proportional problems here and there in these drawings, they have just a beautiful haunting quality which I love! I really like the monumentality and sculptural quality you have infused in the second piece ~ have you ever done drawings from / of marble statues? I think you would really enjoy doing that ~ there are so many beautiful ones from which to choose. Are you required to do any master copies in your course? Perhaps you could consider doing a few of statues if so? I think that this would be a really great exercise for you ~ and the great thing about statues / photos of them is that they don’t move! :slight_smile:

Nice work, glad to see your post. :slight_smile:

Cheers,

Hi Rebecca

I haven’t done any master copies or any drawings from statues as of yet. I’m still trying to get basics down for drawing anatomy. I’m taking life drawing II next semester and I believe the instructor starts to have us do some master copies. I’ll keep the statue idea in mind if that assignment comes around. Thanks for the comments!

Kyna,

Sounds great! Thrilled to hear you will be taking another class. :slight_smile: Looking forward to your posts! :slight_smile:

Cheers,
