Mr. Mu,

LOL, no prob. :slight_smile:

Icey,

As always, your drawings are beautiful…I think I had mentioned that you would really like Ingres (pronounced sort of like ahn~gruh) before, you should really look at his work! :slight_smile:

[left]Icey, have you ever done any Master Copies from Prud'hon, or from others? :)

EDIT: Also, I think you would quite enjoy this book:

“The Artist’s Complete Guide to Figure Drawing” by Anthony Ryder (artist).
As written in the BOOKS thread: it’s an excellent book, and not too expensive. The artist is a traditional artist working in pencil ~ his work is HIGHLY realistic and beautiful.

Cheers,

~Rebeccak

yes! :slight_smile: ofcourse :slight_smile: but quite a wile ago… my studys aren’t that good…



and this - with the angel wings - a total mess :smiley:

#196

Icey,

Wow, these really attest to the power and purpose of doing Master Studies ~ the discipline really shows in your own work! It would be terrific to see more studies like these ~ you should really start your own Anatomy Thread ~ Anatomy Thread of Icey ~ and post these as well as your other works there as well. :slight_smile:

It looks like the main thing you struggle with in these copies is the lower leg and foot ~ perhaps some studies of just these areas might help? Just a thought. :slight_smile:

Cheers, :slight_smile:

~Rebeccak

#197

hehe - maby i will start that thread :slight_smile:

it;s not much to show, but… it wown’t do no harm :slight_smile: I do have certain problems and areas i’m strugleing with , but i’m fighting with them! :slight_smile: We’ll see who wins the fight in the end

cheers!

Icey

This one is finish now…

…I’ve tried something different of my usual style… hope you like…

#199

This is about 3-4 hours progress. I was going to colour it but I see that OFDW 11 is up and running so I am going to leave this as it is for now. I may come back to it later.

#200

Marco J,

WOW, fantastic work so far! :applause:

The only thing I notice is that her head may be slightly too large / luminous for her body ~ but that’s an easy fix if you ever wanted to tweak that. :slight_smile:

Great work! Look forward to your participation in OFDW 011!

Cheers, :slight_smile:

~Rebeccak

#201

Thanks Rebecca,
I am downloading the refs for OFDW 11 right now!

#202

Marco J,

Sweet! See you there!

Cheers, :slight_smile:

#203

I think this is pretty much done.

I think there might be a problem with the right foot, I might have it a little small or something else weird. I’ve had a really hard time working digital lately. I had been doing only charcoal drawings for the past few months I kind of forgot how to work digitally. I was able to finish this one because I think it finally figured out some ways that I can use my charcoal drawing techniques for digital work. Here some extra shots if anyone cares to take a look. Thanks!

Upclose

#204

Hi guys,

Have been kind of busy after work these days, and so have been a bit slow to respond generally…but will try to take a look soon ~ it’s great to see people still enjoying this thread. :slight_smile: Bear in mind that the most recent OFDW is OFDW 011 ~ hope you will join us there, as well ~ we’re one week into it, feel free to join in at any time! :slight_smile:

Cheers,

~Rebeccak

#205

jinnseng,

Though perhaps not completely finished, the progress you have made on this piece is great! :slight_smile: I know how hard it is to go back and forth between media ~ particularly when you’ve been ensconced for so long within one, the transition back and forth is tough. But I like how you’ve brought some of the charcoal / drawing sensibility into your piece. I hope you’ll continue to participate in the OFDWs! OFDW 011 is ongoing ~ for another week, then a new one will launch. Please feel free to join in at any time!

Cheers, :slight_smile:

~Rebeccak

#206

Sorry i’m so late on this…but here’s my last update on this one. Great work all!

#207

drawMonger,

Really beautiful, sensitive work! Any plans for the background? I definitely love the sketchy feel and the sense that this has been intentionally left feeling a bit unfinished / painterly. Lovely work! :slight_smile:

Cheers,

~Rebeccak

#208

Thanks Rebecca! I’d like to do the background, but i don’t want to miss out on OFDW11…so might stop here with this one :wink:

#209

Gotcha! See you there! :slight_smile:

Cheers,

~Rebeccak

Hi Rebeccak and everyone,

   first sorry for my very bad english.

I find these OFD-threads are very helpfully. Thank you for this workshops, references from photos with extraordinary great models.

In the past I only have read in cgtalk-forums, your comments, and looked for your great pictures. And what can I say, those threads itches in my fingers to take the pen and start drawing. (I hope I’ve say this clearly enough for understanding. Oje.)

What a shame! With a look in the rules I have read there is no time limit to post here. So for 3 days I began to draw from a pose OFD 010 and then, to late, I’ve read that is a time limit about 2 weeks.

   I hope it's not a great problem and not too late, to post my work here.
 
    And now I’have start the new workshop 011.  
 
   (By the way, this is also a good English practice for me.)
 
    My skills in drawing:

As a child and teenager I draw a lot of traditional art, with pencil and charcoal, inspired by Boris Vallejo and generally fantasy art. But with many anatomical errors. Sometimes I try acrylic for fun.

    My skills in digital art:

No more real beginner but far far away to be really good and I have not found my technic to color figures. So I tried this and that and between that I love my eraser and my Patience.

   Yes I know: practice, practice, practice. :-)  
 
   Since I found your OFD-Workshops, I use my eye to find colors, not the Eyedropper Tool.
 
   All in one I would say I’m newbie (newgie for girl?) with practicepracticepractice.  
 
   Sorry for this long Preface.
 
   Ciao, see you in 011,
 
   Ravena
  
 And here is my work, c&c welcome.
