I was thinking of maybe closing this one and starting a new one. This way I could save up webspace too and publish only the works of which I’m really happy about. Not sure though because a big thread is actually what everyone should have…
Ah, I would say keep this one as it is… ever evolving while showing where you came from. Big inspiration, you know.
But something you could do is open a thread in the WIP2d section showing your works or something?
Hey Ratul
thanks … still loads of area’s in which this sucker’s got to improve… slowly but steady I hope
DivineRAiN
heh yeah it’s growing and growing…
still, plan to bring some more varied work here soon so stay tuned
Mu
ok I think I will stick to this one for now.
A thread in the 2D WIP section… it’s been on my mind to do this in a year or 2… I hope to be tackling color by then
Having really long days at work this week so not much time for drawing. Here’s some quick torso studies:
poor pictures… damn I really need a new digital camera. My current one only takes good pictures outside on a bright sunny day. Good thing Santa Claus is coming soon ^^
i like your smooth lines 
you have a confident hand which is good! your torso studies look great :D! make sure to keep perspective in mind, in the latest drawing the abs further away from us seem the same size as those closest to us, the further ones being slightly smaller would really give a great sense of depth to the picture!
Hello. You have nice line work with your torso studies here Johan. I particularly like the first drawing and how the torso is tilted and countering it’s weight. On the third drawing, the one where the figure is scratching his head, his head looks a tad bit small. Keep up the excellent work. Cheers.
Hi Johan, Great torso studies. I like the 90min one, nice shading. You are doing great with your quick line drawings too. Now I want to practice some.hehe Keep up the great work Johan!
Great work on those studies. Really clear read on whats what on the torso. I might try that myself one day. Keep up =)
Hey Johan nice studies. Your more refined studies show a lot more “care” on the general proportion and anatomy than your quick gestures. Remember that just because you might have a small amount of time to do a gesture, you don’t nessesarly need to draw everything. There’s a lot of potential in you linework, I’ll keep an eye out for this thread.
Hi Johan
Just popping in to say hello and see how you are going
I like your quick studies; they have movement and confident lines
sometimes perspective/proprotions end up on the back foot - but you
are going great and I believe in building up skills through that variety
of technique and different speeds; which is what you are doing.
The longer torso and rib cage studies (tell Oscar he needs some serious tlc 
)
are beautifully rendered
keep cruising!
and take care

Thanks mate. Need way more practice though… spending too much time at work lately argh
Auria
You’re absolutely right and it would have surprized me if no-one would have mentioned the perspective issues. Thanks!
Rangerman
thanks for the tip on the proportions!
Hi Debbie
Would love to see some anatomy studies and quick sketches in your thread
vaaken
Thanks!

There’s a lot of potential… hm I like hearing that… but I must add… it will take time so hopefully you are patient enough. You’re right though… I’m gonna try to get my gestures more accurate without spending too much time on details. Thanks for your advise!
Annette
Thanks for dropping by!
Oscar… poor fella… you know our teacher actually had to put metallic wire on the scapula’s towards the neck to keep him from slumping like a bag of patatoes
Here’s some of this weeks quickies… spent just a little more time than usual on them but the result isn’t bad. Also started a longer study of an arm sculpture but it’s not finished yet.
Take care y’all
Have you drawn all the parts of the human body yet? Would be neat to see an illustration where you put all those things together. Just a thought. Btw, great work on those bones. Keep up!
Hi Johan, nice bone sketches. I think you could use darker values in them though and also some stronger lines.
You are taking photos of your work rigth? You could make better photos with better illumination, or edit them digitally, I think they could look much better.
cheers
Hi …Johan …
BEAUTIFUL bone studies/renderings…
Just a thought here,…you might make little indents on them, where the tendons / muscle ends, attach to the bones…When I took a class years ago in anatomical drawing, the teacher would always use the bones on the skelaton to demontrate how the tendons/muscles attached //where, and more importantly…WHY they attached there in that specific spot…FUNTION was KEY to understanding HOW AND WHY the bones and tendons/muscles worked the way they worked…If you make a little indent on the bones where the tendons to the muscles attach,…it will also make an indent in your memory…
Anyway,…just stopping by to see what you’ve been up to…Looks like you are on the right path to me…
Keep going, your hard work is getting stronger and stronger results…:applause:
TAKE CARE
Glenn
hi johan your studies of bones are lovely i’m looking forward to seeing more of your work. thanks for inspiring me to start studying again!
warry
Thank you… I love drawing bones… they are the foundation of our existence… in a way hehe. Most of all they help me understand how the human body functions.
vaaken
No not yet, but I’m working on it
-voraz- / Luis
thanks, I’ve always drawn too light. It’s already better than a year ago though. Hopefully soon I won’t have the issue anymore. The fact that my digital camera sux and we have aweful lighting in our classroom (the drawings I make at home usually have a lot more contrast) is something that won’t change too soon, however.
Glenn
Thanks. You know… just working my drawing every day… it’s the only way.
Long long way to go still, but I’ll get there… at least that’s the plan
Thanks for that tip on those bones. It’s true, bones have a rougher surface where the tendons attach.
Lyneran
Hi there! Thanks for popping in!
I’m glad you’re pickin up things again… would be a shame to see your talents and skills unused 
Thanks for your visit everyone!
More school work from last week:
Hi Johan, greattudies of the pelvis. I like this schematic approach you use in these studies: you should understand the structure of the pelvis rather than being able to draw it in all its detail. I like the hatching as well!
oh la la, sweet effective shading on that pelvis! :bounce: Very clean work. I’m learning by watching here! Keep teaching me.
