ok, here is an update of the last weeks.
These where created during a fantastic workshop with Don Seegmiller:
An there has been an update to this picture as well - still not completed …
and this is the latest one… couldn’t sleep this night so I got up early and started to paint a bit. Was quite fun but I’ll be tired all day…
Wow Ted, you’ve been holding out on us man. These latest images are incredible…
The lighting is very realistic, the skin tones are warm and diverse, and the people are full of life! I’m assuming they are from reference or from life? The lady on the dock is nice…i would like to see the background a bit more developed though. Keep it up man!!
hey everyone,
some days ago I started an new trainings project. Its called www.1000figures.com.
The idea is to draw some gestures every day to get better and faster at drawing the human figure.
I am no behind the first one hundert and want to post some of them.
So if you like leave some comments and tips.
Thank you.
The danger when you draw only from imagination is that you loose touch with reality.
What I’m trying to say is that if for example you draw the torso too long a couple of times, you might get used to those proportions and fail to see that it is actually too long.
I’d say draw at least a couple of figures from reference for each figure from imagination…
Just my 2 cents
Nice project though 
hey Johan,
very good point. And you are right it won’t hurt to use reference here and there I just want to keep myself from just repeating what I see. I’ll try to use several anatomy books while I draw.
I’ll check the get the proportions of the upper body better for the next few 100 figures.
Thanks for taking the time and commenting my stuff.
ok the next 100 figures are done.
Here is a patchwork image of some. Visit www.1000figures.com to see all of them the really bad ones as well…
I’ve been to dr. sketchys anti art school today.
Like an life drawing class but a bit more on the entertaining side.
these are some drawing I did there.
since I have’t painted much the last few weeks just scribbled my figures. I thought it would be nice to get the “virtual” brushes wet again.
ok, the more I looked at the last image the more I disliked it. To much warm color, to boring. Just lame. So I went back and tried some other stuff. I cooled down the right side and tried to use some interssting brushes.
Hey TedNindo, that’s exactly a CHANGE. I am not talking about the fancy brushes, it doesn’t matter that much what particullar brush you use, but the brush stroke FLOW. So in the background as in hair. Be more reserved when placing marks, but I think you already know it yourself. Anyway, do what you like to do, you’re doing it well 
Keep up buddy
