Aw duuuude!

Absolutely love these! The green and orange portrait looks fantastic, and the one hand reminds me of David’s hand by Michelangelo. The is also an comforatble seamlessness between you traditional stuff and your digitals. Have some stars bro.

You need to keep posting.

What’s up Shay? :applause:

Finally! The man himself has posted! :wink:

It’s great to see your Anat Thread up, as now I can attempt to mould you into the stately young gentleman you were always meant to be. :scream: It’s great to see your new work, and look forward to seeing much more of it. Umm…what’s with the girl and the bleeding ‘n’ stuff? :smiley:

Cheers, :slight_smile:

demented - thx man! Yeah the hand is David’s, Rebecca spent most of the workshop trying to break me : ) I resisted at first but did actually come to appreciate the “master copy” - they had such a great understanding of anatomy, light and form.

btw - thx for the stars. I promise to keep updating.

RK - Hahaha, young gentleman… never ; ) The bleeding girl is a long story, hehe. A concept piece for my DVD about the lose of love or a loved one and the numbness that can it throw your mind into. Ever feel so sad that all senses are dampened. Sight, sound, touch, pleasure, pain. Nothing feels the way you know it should. You feel drugged. I post the other pieces when I get them done, maybe it will make more sense : )

Depressing imagery aside, I really like the way the lighting came out. It started in your class and it’s really effecting everything I do. Overexposure just looks so cool to me ; )

Wowee, these are nice. Especialy the coloured portrait! The foot study looks great, the hand study too. Trully, brilliant stuff.

Awesome illustrations, thankyou for sharing.

Please post more :smiley:

#10

Fl3wk - Thx!

SpiritDreamer - Thx! Its is a remake of Leda and the Swan by DaVinci, basic pose and body proportions, everything else is just my twisted mind : )

Razz - Thx! That means alot to me because I absolutely hate drawing feet. Hands are my favorite part, they are the most expressive part of a pose to me.

#11

Well, you can hate it but you have to know how to do that and you’re doing great. Show us more.

#12

as promised here’s some new stuff : ) they are still frames for a video that go by in about 1/2 second so I’m aloud to be sloppy… I think : p

Heya Shay,

On simplified portraits, it’s especially important to nail those basic parallel axes of the face:

Don’t forget what I learned you! :wink:

Cheers,

I think the one with the skull looks just great! I, ehm, like that kind of stuff :smiley: Beautiful!

#15

Rebecca - I got your parallel axes right here : p
Seriously, it is crap. I knew something was wrong with it but I couldn’t seam to work it out. Looking at it now, maybe its more the fact that his forehead sits farther back in space than his cheeckbones.

This is what you learned me mostly - I suck at anatomy without reference. The propblem is I always want to illustrate a character doing a specific action from a specific angle and I just can’t get ref for that. I guess I am just going to have to take photos of myself for everything I do. Its just kinda weird to look at an image of your own face and try to make it art, know what I mean? : )

razz - thx man… me too. I think I am going to be returning to my roots artistically and doing more abstract work from here on out. I just works out better for me. Plus, skulls are cool : )

Shay,

The remedy for doing drawings from imagination is doing a lot of master studies ~ traditionally ~ from artists like Burne Hogarth. Check out his Dynamic Anatomy and or Dynamic Figure Drawing book, buckle down and do some serious copies of his work, and engrain his formulas in your mind. This will seriously help you in terms of drawing from imagination (it helped me). I recommend doing the copies traditionally, in a dedicated sketchbook, using either pencil or ballpoint pen.

Cheers, :slight_smile:

I am not saying I am giving up, I am just at a point in my art that I just want to be more abstract and symbolic. The majority of work that I did growing up was all symbols and graphics and I feel life I need to return to that because its uniquely me.

For the last few years I want to paint like Brom or Frazetta but I am not them so why should I want to paint what they paint. Sorry for getting all mystical on your ass ; ) Carry on.

#18

LOL, no worries Shay, I think I know you by now. :wink: What do you mean by ‘mystical’? Just curious, I don’t what the definition means for you.

Cheers, :slight_smile:

Hi Se7en… some really lovely work here, my faves are your close up studies of the feet and the master copies. Keep up the good work!

Zephyri - Thanks Sam. Thats a big compliment coming from someone with such amazing talent. : )

RK - Hahaha, I just mean not being a smart ass ; ) By mystical I just mean over-anaylizing my work. What it means to me, how’s other perceive it, etc. Unfortunately my art is attached to my ego and I really need to let it go. I feel personal and emotional ups and downs based on my most recent drawing or painting. That is not healthy or easy to deal with in any way.

I guess I should just spend less time thinking about creating art and and spend more time creating art. : p
