Open Figure Drawing Workshop with Ron Eyre, Hong Ly and Rebeccak 011


#301

Marco J,

Stole a quick look at your painting, it looks beautiful! :slight_smile: As regards starting, I’d really prefer it if we all started at the same time :smiley: ~ I think what makes the OFDWs work is that we’re all on the same timeframe and working together ~ it’s fun to see how people progress. :slight_smile: So, if you cannnnnnn wait…:smiley: ~ please do. :slight_smile:

Cheers,

~Rebeccak

Hi Rebecca,
Thanks for the quick reply. Okay that is fine. In that case I shall practice some male anatomy with one of Ron’s poses until OFDW12 begins!!

zng-Y,

Heya, we’re going to start late Sunday night (it’s 10:45 am here my time).

A great little free app which tells you the time anywhere you set it in the world is Qlock:

Cheers, :slight_smile:

some update before i ruin it all while doing the face :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

@becca: i will try to be here more regular, had some personal stuff to sort out n some university stuff to do, the courses about architecture are quite demanding.

@marco: wow, thats a really good one :slight_smile: nice colours n mood.


#307

Llynna,

Of course, no worries, we’re just glad to have you back! :slight_smile:

Cheers,

~Rebeccak


#308

How did you set up the image next to your drawing?


#309

aggie93,

I don’t know if Mecha did something special or not, but you can just open the Reference image in Painter (or Photoshop) and place it next to your painting image.

Cheers, :slight_smile:

Hello Llynna, I noticed you are using traditional methods. What are you using actually, pencil, pen, etc? Looks great!


#311

Really beautiful Mark… especially her very expressive face, with lot of personality… of course, the rest is really pleasant too… 5 thumbs for you :thumbsup: x5


#312

uh, I’m so late getting to this workshop, sorry. it’s been a while since I had enough free time to participate again (ironically now I’m back at uni :D). Hm, well this is just a start, it’s not quite accurate yet.

I will try to do as much as I can before OFDW12.

Britta -> really nice to see your work… as always :thumbsup: the face now… :scream:


#314

Hi Rebecca and Everyone
Started working on the face today. Got tired after a couple hours of staring at details and
decided to play a little.
Practicing composition and motion.
Take Care

Interesting combinations, Glenn! :slight_smile:

Update…not sure which version I like better ~ the first one is the latest, though now I like the previous (second) version…

LOOOKING GOOD…as CHICO would say…and getting BETTER every time I …SEE IT…:slight_smile:

Rebecca…:thumbsup:

2 is stronger…would be my pick…looks good enough to be in the MEDICI TOMB…seriously…

Has that ONENESS about it…don’t know what it is, but I know it when I …SEE IT …

Take Care
Glenn


#317

Glenn,

Thanks for the feedback. :slight_smile: I don’t agree about the Medici tomb, however, :stuck_out_tongue: still trying to get the feel of traditional work in there, and it’s coming along, but not really there yet. Will keep plugging away. :wink:

Cheers, :slight_smile:

Rebecca
You might want to add a vein or two on his legs and feet…under and around ankles ect.
will add stress and strength to pose maybe…just a thought…

Take Care
Glenn

Good morning my second family :wavey:

The #2 is better for me too Beckie… in the first, there’s too much contrast of tones between face and body… about tones, that works really better on the second… in this case, with your style and the subject, cold tones are of course welcome.

Glenn… -> the composition is veru original and pleasant, just one thing disturb me… the girl’s face at the top-right, she appear a little deformated…
In other style, really like the simple compositing with the 2 men… that give us something mystic.

Glenn,

Thank you :slight_smile: ~ I think this piece really needs a lot of work, and I’m starting to experiment more with painter…this piece is about to take an entirely different direction.

Morning, Lolo ~ :slight_smile:

Thank you for the comments and feedback, it’s quite useful…I really see what you mean. :slight_smile:

Am reworking this piece quite a bit as I am not happy with it…I really think I am a better expressive painter than I am a render~er ~ and Painter and I are getting along this morning, so I’m going to give that a run and see how it goes. :slight_smile:
