Lifedrawing 22nd May 2012

Horribly average.  Ugh.

Sunday Practice 26 Feb 2012

Some more practice.  I tried to keep the enviro thumbnails to 20 mins, but more often than not, the 20 min mark just acted as a “stop fiddling about” reminder. All references taken from the internet.  I fiddled about with a few different brushes, but I’m stull struggling in how to approximate things rather than getting bogged down in detail.
The life-drawing is from using Posemaniacs, going from 30 sec to 90 sec poses.  It was hideous.  Today is frigging hot so I’m crabby and sweaty and my pencils were breaking and I was drawing like BOG!  Which, I guess, just highlights that I need to do this stuff more.

Models: Kelly, Marta, Michael, Jake, Adam
When you know you can't draw something, and set about drawing it in order to get better at it, and your drawings come out bog, it's really hard not to just scrunch them up and stuff them in the bin.  But I guess I gotta keep swinging.  And do some reasearch.  Gads.  I hate you, clothes.

Life-drawing 10th October 2011

The only semi-decent image I came up with from what felt like a truly disasterous life-drawing session (that had nothing to do with the model, I hasten to add!).

Life-drawing 26 Septermber 2011

I dunno what’s been going on with my life-drawing these past few weeks. I think I’m going through some kind of rut, which is very frustrating. Proportion’s all whack and last night I seemed incapable of getting the whole figure done! Whilst I was reasonably happy with the 50 minute pose, the torso’s too short (the little duplicate next to it is a Photoshopped version with a longer torso). *sigh* I also need to start drawing in what model’s sitting on otherwise it’s just a bunch of levitating weirdness that does nothing to distract from my loopy renditions of proportion.
