Here are some of the life drawing studies i did last semester. For these i used a pit oil pencil on newsprint. They’re abit rough but the poses range from 5-10 minutes. Anyway, hope you like!

Hi there,
nice sketches!
Would love to see more work from you
Did you know there is a fantastic workshop running at the anatomy forums here?
It’s called Anatomy Lesson Series Part 2 - The Torso
I’d love to see you having a go at those 
Hello gibby! Welcome to the forum. I am unforunately unable to see your images. Might you repost them?
It would also be great to hear something about yourself and your art background. I second NR43’s encouragement to join in the Torsos Workshop! A great way to get a lot of practice.
Cheers,

thanks for the nice welcome! i’m sorry that the images doen’t show… i thought they did 
anyway, i tried editing a few things and i hope it shows now. i had three samples up but i can only put up one in the new way i did it. if anyone can help me with this problem i will be very greatful! 
… and yes, i am very interested in the workshop! it sounds like an excellent idea and a great way to get me motivated to go to extra life drawing sessions! 
Oh Gibby! Awesome studies there - really like the first ones, they have sort of cartoony feel to them :bounce: MORE!
5min huh I would surely mess things up lol
great work gibby
also checked your blog quickly… interesting to soo you have sort of the same approach to your fantasy work as your life drawings… I think it’s called style
That’s some well spent time, Gibby!
Such great sketches in such a little amount of time. The last three look extremely amazing. Couldn’t say less about the previous ones. Lovely line weight in the last sketches of both posts. Especially in the first post’s.
Astonish me with more of these :bounce:
Another great artist here. Lovely movement to your sketches and the simple shading lends a sense of form too. Nice work.
Hi…Gibby // Gabe…
VERY MUCH like your drawing style…has alot of of great things about it…flow, volume, line quality,… STYLE…would really like to see MORE… …KEEP POSTING…
TAKE CARE

some more updates! … hmmm, a quick background check on me for rebeccak: i’m at sheridan college in oakville canada for my 3rd year of animation… still have another year to go :S i love to draw and animate and hopefully i’ll get more involved with 3D animation.
if you’re wondering why my poses are quick and hardly have any detail in it, it’s because the models don’t usually stay put longer than 10 minutes in an animation life drawing class so this time i put in a 1, 2 and 10 minute drawing.
anyway, our school was visisted by a young elephant and a lion not too long ago so i’m posting some of my sketches from that. the lion never stood still so you will notice how quick the sketches are. the elephant was a much better model since he hardly moved.
the hand drawings is part of one of our assignments where we had to draw 100 hands and feet. i thought it was a great assignment because having bad hands and feets in your drawing can kill your work and drawing 100 of both will definetly help you improve.
thanks for the comments guys!
Hey gibby!
Your gestures are nice to see. Your figures have alot of vibrancy. I am striving to add more spontaneity to my life sketches. Your drawings have reminded me how valuable that quality is. I especially love the solidness of you animals and hands. Your style denotes an animation background? to me.
The moment entered this thread and looked at your first drawing, I imagined you were an animator. It’s undeniable, for your drawing style. It’s really great, gesture is excelente in any of them. It’s a pitty i don’t have live models to try something similar. These are great exercises, and you are doing them pretty well.
Keep it up!
Wonderful studies…really dynamic…wonderful sense of form and weight. I look forward to seeing more.

Hi Gibby! Awesome studies, man!! Your strokes are so full of confidence! I wish I could draw like that!!
new updates!!!.. really appreciate the comments btw and i’m glad you guys like the drawings. i’ve been lurking around the thread and was blown away by some of the work you guys have done. i’m gonna try to make my way into life drawing sessions for longer poses to see if i can come up wtih a more realistic touch to my drawings. we’ll see how that works out
