Thanks Mr. Mu and Dreamy Kid! You keep me going! :wip:

Mr. Mu: Going to try that method as a way to put down the “extreme” points of the figure really quick and correct. Maybe an update later tonight :wink:

#142

Nice method you have there, Mr. Mu. Thanks for sharing.

Mr. Mu, thanks for your tip on image links, I’ll give it a whirl. Your lines of action tip is also very helpful.

gorgnut, nice work on your sketchathon pose, I particularly like the tonal work.

lunat1k, I’m in agreement with rebecca, your line work is very smooth and flowing.

hi there,

addendum from last week friday:

Mr. Mu,

LOL, I like the personal touch! :scream: Good to see you post these…and you are doing better! :thumbsup:

A master copy:

The green stroke was added after i finished the 7 min one.
I think I’ll start doing 2-5-10, 15 mins is too much for me.

#148

Hey guys!

This is my first post in this forum. I think the beginner’s lounge is a great thing. I borrowed a Wacom tablet from a friend a few days ago and got hooked to digital painting. I did 3 or 4 paintings to get accustomed to this new method an now here is my first serious work:

Hi! I am Kami. I am a new artist trying to learn both traditional and digital art. I want to start off by learning human anatomy. My work will be posted soon. This forum is quite big and confusing to me, I am still trying to get use to the system. If I did anything wrong please tell me and I will correct myself right away. Nice to meet you guys.

Dreamy Kid, thanks. I guess you’re on the right track about my cartoony style ;). Here’s some old stuff from me…

bermuda_boy_jimbo, that’s really nice! Welcome aboard :slight_smile:

Kami, glad you’ll be joining us. Can’t wait to see your drawings :slight_smile:

Hey dreamykid,

sorry for the late reply, been busy with school. Anyway, I bought the Basic drawing dvd’s from vilppu ( gesture, spheres, box forms, and combination of box and spheres). Although the dvd’s are very hand, because you can see how vilppu use the techniques used, I still recommend you to get the book first, dvd’s sometimes still go to fast, and you have to rewind it back if it was going to fast, with book u can take ur time.

Rebeccak,

thnx for the advise, I’m still trying to get the flow of the drawings, instead of looking at the lovely contours of the final drawing hehe. Some more drawing will help me out sooner or later :stuck_out_tongue:
Will post my work later this weekend, to get some comment on what still went wrong :). Thnx in advance.

have fun drawing everybody :slight_smile: kepe up the good work.

ciao

I did some head study from the dynamic anatomy book and some other book ( mainly about the major mass of the face and eyes measurement system), for a few hours ,just to realize how bad i am with perspective, also i have problems drawing anything symmetric. kind of frustrating :sad:*hit my self. think about it, I’m always have a hard time drawing something symmetric ( especially face, have a hard time to draw the left side and the righ side of the face symmetrically balance ) >__< . bec, i’ll post one more gesture drawing from the first exercise tomorrow then move on to the second exercise, T__T so many things to learn. the first 500 drawings just to get the bad ones out right? :scream:

  * /me in a bad bad mood sitting on the corner of my room , burried my self with my books collection

Hi everyone. I haven’t visited CGTalk in a while and I just discovered this new forum. I think its a great idea to have a thread devoted to beginners and since I’m really terrible at figure drawing I thougt I’d give it a go. I picked an image from the sketchathon ref thread. Is there anywhere else you guys would recommend to get reference images from?

#156

welcome jtm - you can always do the assignment #2 with the references given!

#157

You guys are doing some good work here, and I apologize for not being able to post much during the week ~
