Sketchbook Thread of Sirron

I have seen those, just haven’t put the time to watch through them.

Top two I looked at Loomis, middle are from my head, bottom are caricatures of people I saw while waiting for my pizza.

Doing this made me want to start my study of Alphonse Mucha. Which would be this one.

Oh yeah, something I kind of thought was cool of Loomis to say was “Now let’s get to work in earnest”. You don’t hear anyone talking that way anymore. It has that good old fashion feel to it… Well I thought it was a nice phrase. :slight_smile:

Gee, I hope this doesn’t count as nudity in Photobucket.

I’m kinda surprised I can get this kind of shading with a .5 mechanical pencil. I haven’t seen it really done, but what if I drew the model as a skeleton? Hmmm…

#78

lol the skeleton is even extremely nude :Dnice perspective, although I think for the female it’s a bit overdone.

Loomis is right, it does take a lot of practice…

#79

Didn’t have a good view at the bookstore, so I just drew some from magazines. Some good, some obviously bad :blush:

and Loomis…

#80

Hot off the life drawing class…

After the first one I realized I don’t really know how to draw the bones, only an approximation. I think I’ll practice on that a bit.

#81

wow that looks like a great exercise!
too bad I’m only drawing plaster statues (mainly heads) in class
aah wth only 1,5 years to wait for my turn :smiley:

#82

Great set of studies from your life drawing class - very dynamic, I particularly think the last one works well because the drawing has an area of focus but the whole drawing is active. Nice work. :slight_smile:

#83

Uuh, bony. Nice fast stuff, no doubt. Looking forward to more of those, must be fun to do. Seeing through the model, haha.

#84

I like those skeleton drawings. Life drawing class must be fun :slight_smile: I kinda miss it myself, nothing like learning from a real model.
The guy in the top hat is cool looking character too :slight_smile:

#85

you’re really improving - those last 15 minute skeleton studies are great! It seems your life drawing classes are really paying off and you’re definitely putting the effort in. I look forward to seeing you progress more in future updates!

#86

Looking cool man, I love those skeleton speedies, especially the sitting one, it gots lots of feeling to it. :smiley:

#87

Wow everyone, thanks for all the responses :smiley:

razz: Yeah it’s fun, sometimes I feel like I’m Superman with X-ray vision hahaha! I don’t think I should tell my friends I can see their bones, muscles, or through their clothes. :wink:

I’ve been looking through this book for some of my bone studies. I’ll look at some from Anatomy for the Artist because it has some photos.

One detailed, and 3 quick ones.

Need to figure out how that clavicle works with the scapula. I know it connects with the acromion process, that thing sticking farthest out from the scapula. Well this isn’t called a study for nothing :slight_smile:

#88

I’ve got it too… do you like it?
I sometimes don’t…

#89

SirRon, and it’s very great, knowing bones is as important as knowing muscles. What I think sucks about anatomy books is that there’s so many of them and it’s hard to choose the one that is really great. Yeah, there’s some well known and good books by Bridgman, Hogarth, Loomis, some everyone knows, but again chooses between these because as they are about the same subject, they’re very different too.
Some decisions to make before seriously studying one or two of those complete guides for artists…
Ok, I don’t want to go philosphing here really :smiley:

NR43: Yeah, sometimes I don’t like it either. The ‘schematic drawings’ don’t read that well to me. But the other drawings are great. I actually prefer this one but it’s heavy and a hardcover so it’s not easy to carry around.

razz: I think the best way to study bones is to actually have a skeleton instead of a book :slight_smile: Unfortunately I don’t have the money to do that heh.

I’ll try to do some 3/4 views now that I have a feeling for the orthographic views.

#91

lots of good studies

Gord

#92

Thanks Gord :slight_smile:

More skeleton studies…

When I was back go doing the skeletons in the life drawing class I had this nice little sense of confidence when I was drawing the shoulder. Wish I had a view from the back though.

Oh… and pardon the observational notes on one of my pages. I like to jot down ideas on why someone or something looks a certain way. It’s so cool to look at someone’s shoes and imagine the places they’ve been to or what their occupation is. I’m weird that way :smiley:

On a side note, check out our unofficial animation challenge. We’re voting on best animations at the moment.
Animation Challenge #5 voting Though if you’re reading this and it’s past February 26,2007 then it’s too late to vote.

#93

the sternum looks like a little necktie.

I hope I’ve been constructive :slight_smile:

Hi Sirron!

The bone studys are very nice… keep at them … you will see very soon how they help you by understanding the human figure :slight_smile:

Something to your potraits: Try not to create faces from imagination … talk to friends or your parents and ask them if you can draw them. You must learn painting potraits by drawing persons from life. This is the best helping methode I think. But you can surely use what you have learned by theory and test it out. :wink:

Keep it up :slight_smile:
