Catching Up

Monday, October 20th, 2008 | Drawings, Felix, Life-Drawing | No Comments

Whew! Sorry about not posting over the weekend, folks. I’ve retroactively added my drawings for those days (I wasn’t slacking! Too much…). Today’s is another one somewhere between memory drawing and making it up as I went. The essence of it is, I wanted to draw a female nude, but didn’t have any nude women handy when I wanted to (I was riding the bus.) Cheers!

I thought it would be fun to offer people a glimpse as to how I go about most of my drawings. This is done digitally with an intuos, but the same technique is generally applied to paper by using light strokes and lots of eraser. I tend to mess around with the composition using very rough skeletons of the basic objects. When I’m happy with where things are, I’ll start to flesh out the details little by little.

And some color!

 Not much to tell, here. Just a motorcycle I drew while waiting for a friend to finish eating lunch. It was parked by the side of the road. You can tell from the way I fudged the shapes in the middle that technical drawing is not my strong suit. 

Ehh…

Did some scribbling but the sleepy headache has me in its grips. I’ll make up for it first chance tomorrow… zzz…

Faster isn’t always better.. Was tired when drawing these guys and they turned out a bit Meh, though I like the bottom right one. I promise I’ll draw earlier tomorrow : / Trying to get to the end of the head-blooks so that eventually I can play with the full bodied ones 😀

Fir Cone

It was winding here, and raining, and the other things it does when it’s grey and a bit chilly. I was sitting outside, waiting, when it struck me that I hadn’t done my drawing for the day. Looking around for something to draw, I found this cone, which turned out to have a neat sort of pattern that I became especially aware of as I drew it.

A sketch of my hand. The picture was taken upside down intentionally. 😉 I’ll try this again at a later date. Perhaps when I’m not being distracted often and having to guess which perspective I was viewing my hand.

In sketches, everyone has neatly trimmed nails.

Turtle Study

A little anatomy study of the turtle. They’re a lot more complex than they might lead you to believe!

Speedblooks

These guys aren’t as polished, but I was just focused on getting basic shapes turned into blooks faster than before. Earlier I could do only about one every 10 minutes, but I’ve cut the time down a bit. It’s nice to work on little guys with more personality than your average stick figure, even if they aren’t the most exciting thing I could be drawing. 😉
