Fl3wk,

Welcome aboard! :slight_smile:

I don’t see any of your work ~ did you attempt to post any? :slight_smile: One thing to note is that you can’t copy and paste images from one site to the other ~ it doesn’t work, you have to link the URL of your image here into the small yellow sun / mountain icon in the EDIT POST text editor.

Looking forward to seeing your work! :slight_smile:

Cheers,

~Rebeccak

Thanks for the welcome :smiley:

   I was wanting to create the thread before showing my stuff. Now it is up I will show the studies that are already online.
   
   [u][b]
   HEADS[/b][/u]

This is an old one that I thought you should see. It is one of my best of the old oes, and speaking of old, the old guy makes this page worth showing in my opinion.

This was done when I started anatomy work again in February. It was the first of my body pieces and I quite like the lines I used to indicate the direction of the muscle.

These were the beginning studies of Burne Hogarths Dynamic Heads book. It allowed me tp see the large forms of the head in the simplistic terms. I did older versions which can be seen on CA.org.

Skull study, the only real one in Hogarths head book, so i will need to work more on skulls from other sources.

I rathe rlike these renders, they took some time each, but I like the end result. I have improved since then so I am glad I still look at these with satisfaction.

   Eyes and face proportions, they were quite easy to learn, but fun. I liked working with colours as it doesnt seem as repetetive then.

I found it quite difficult to draw heads at different angles. I will practice more with this I think.

   These are my older studies and a few that are shown here:

 I will scan my latest in tomorrow or at the weekend.

Fl3wk,

You seem to have a lot of really great stuff here! :slight_smile: What will really help though is if you copy and paste the url of each image into the square yellow mountain / sun picture icon in the EDIT POST text editor ~ that way everyone can see your images without having to click on a link. :slight_smile:

Cheers,

~Rebeccak

Oh, do different browsers react differently towards it? On firefox I dont need to click on the mountain image as it appears the same with or without.

Am I supposed to see text url or images when looking at pictures in this forum?

I like to use different paper and materials to break up the studies, otherwise I might get bored and just give up. I will scan some more images in to day.

Like I said, I only see URL’s, is there an option in CP that I need to change?

EDIT: It seems on AOL I can see the images, so it must be firefox. I will start using AOL browser for this forum :slight_smile:

EDIT2: Just found the option to turn on Avatars, Signitures, and images. So I dont think it is to do with my browser as I see the images now.

Here is some very recent stuff (week old). They were done in my A3 Anatomy sketchbook. so I had to take photos. I kinda preser this layout/style for studying as I can get all the information down along with the names.

I quite like this page due to its compostion value. It was the first page of my sketchbook so its seems like its showing my freedom with a new book.

The first image reminds me of Leo’s sketch of the arm, if you have ever seen it, or Creation of Adam painting. Not as goodm but still gives that impression. This is a good study layout as its not informal, but not too formal either, which gives me room to express my marks.

This isn’t a very successful study format, but it shows the info and I always say, every study has some value, either through the experience, or the end product.

I like this one, less is better than more. That quote especially goes for studying as you need to look at images clearly and informative. Less clutter, better format.

This one feels too cramped, I need to plan my pages more.

I like this one as it seems he opened his legs ‘for’ the below image and not just because he was copied. It also looks clearer and better to read the information.

My first clean lines drawing of the book, this took me longer than the rendered ones.

I had to split my posts up.

When I edited the first images post I had to split the thing up. So here is the extention of that post.

Hmm, never really knew why I did this page, I already know that muscles bunch when are tensed and slacken when not.

This is quite interesting, especially the one with the ribs (even though mistakes are apparent).

Did alot of arm bone studies, was real useful too.

#10

Another extention.

    [u][b]BODIES
    
[/b][/u]It was risky to use red with blue, but i find if you use only small doses of one of the colours and use large doses for the other they can be quite a nice match. Kind of which dominates the other, if you help one dominate, then it 'wins' and then they go together. Kind of like relationships...
[img]http://img465.imageshack.us/img465/5724/anatomyhead022006266vd.jpg[/img]

I quite like this as a composition piece aswell as a study. Thing with this is its not formal at all and because of that it can be hard to identify certain muscle parts if the viewer is ignorant of Anatomy.

Another red/blue study, but this tme more blue, which I think is too much... oh well.
    [img]http://img473.imageshack.us/img473/5622/anatomyhead022006311mr.jpg[/img]

Did this wednesday 17/05/06, I was trying to go for complimentary colours, but I think the paper was more blue that green. The redering was just a quick job, the drawing is what is important, to me.

Ah, my new paper, I like this, its textured so that it makes for more interesting studies. I used Pastel Pencils for this, I will use other materials to see which is best for ths paper. Here I used the light blue for the highlights and the papers texture for the shadows.

My normal studies format, but with blue paper. I used a little colour, which again the paper looks more blue than green. I should start using orange as the drawing colour and see how it turns out.

#11

i don’t know you on CA but i’m glad i see you here :slight_smile:

the Hogarth studys are very good! I have a book sent to me by glen - spirit dreamer :slight_smile: It’s a treasure!!

keep posting man! You’re doing a great job! (but don’t tru to copy Hogarth… Try to understand him and drow with your own mind! )

#12

Thanks for the post.

When I copy his works I always look at how the muscles form and i always name them so that I can, over time, memorize them for what they are.

On CA.org I usually post in the WIP and Crits forums, not making topics, but posting there. I also have a sketchbook there that i will add none-anatomy work when I get the time for personal stuff.

Fl3wk,

Some really exceptional work here, it’s fantastic to see!

You ought to really check out the work of Thomasphoenix, who has an Anatomy Thread here:

Anatomy Thread of Thomasphoenix

Will post some more comments in a bit, am trying to catch up on everyone’s terrific posts…

It’s great to have you here!

Cheers, :slight_smile:

Thankyou for your generous words Rebeccak!

I have already got more views on my work from CA.org! And its only been a day. Over there I think it took me a week to have someone recognise my sketchbook :frowning: I will still post there though.

I will check that topic out now.

I am almost finished with forearm muscles study page from Barcsay’s book., I will post it when I have it done.

What I will do is I will post my work when I finish it, in stacks, then every Friday I will post (like a bump) to say that I have completed that cycle. This way it cuts the spam to a minimum. (Dont want a three different posts with 1 image in each now do you :wink: )

#15

Fl3wk,

Sounds like a great plan! :slight_smile:

BTW, if you want to see Thomasphoenix’s work in condensed format, check out:

Thanks for those useful links. I will be sure to check them out.

Thomasphoenix’s work in condensed format will really help as I was too overwelmed by all the posts/images he had in his topic.

Been painting all day and havent had time to study, but I can start doing some sketching soon.

-----=======WEEK ONE=======-----

Friday 19th May 2006

All this work is up-to-date and will be posted daily unless I am too busy to.

This is the very first week! I will be updating everyday so keep watch on my topic! It won’t be sunk to the bottom as long as I keep on updating.

I will also post a URL on my FIRST post to direct you to the first week of every week, so there may be more than one URL depending on how well I keep this up.

Thanks for looking and I hope you come back.

19/05/06 - 05/19/06

This is, as you see, arm muscle studies. I like these studies as it allows me to see what makes all those bulges in your arm and to know what I am drawing.

#18

Fl3wk,

I would encourage you to post updates as new replies, that way people know when you’ve updated ~ there are so many Personal Anatomy Threads now that seeing new replies is the only way I can keep up with updates. :slight_smile:

Feel free to label each new post as part of the same set. That works just as well, I think, as editing an older post. :slight_smile:

Cheers,

~Rebeccak

#19

That works better for me too, I just didn’t know if there were any guidelines to how someone posts.

I will edit my post and this time I will just say what week it was made in.
