Studies 20160426

Quick studies for tonight, from Croquis Cafe.
Taking some of Scott Eaton's advice, instead of trying to do the full figure in the allotted time, I instead picked parts of the model to try and capture.

Ecorche study

About an hour. Photoshop CS6.

Torso study

Torso study for tonight, taking after Bryan Lee
I think I made the torso a bit long.

Sketching with my daughter

Crayons on vellum paper. :)

Poses 5

More timed poses, as before, using OnAirVideo for reference, and FUNKYMONKEY1945 as inspiration/teacher. :)
As always, critique is very much appreciated.

More pose sketches

Been super busy at work (promotion, baby, yeah!)
Have some more timed figure sketches.
What am I learning from this? That non-static poses are a challenge for me, and that I need more practice.

Laocoon

I wanted to give this statue a try because the pose is so interesting and dynamic, but it proved too much for me (which is why I left out his sons!)
Painter and Photoshop.

Knight Solaire

Do you even praise the Sun, brah?

Knight Solaire from Dark Souls' fame.

Hands 5

Bam! All done.
All of these were done from various references, save for the last five: those are from imagination.
The hardest one was the thumbs-up one. :| Why u do dis?

Hands 4

One more. Si se puede!
Notice how they tend to get bigger with each upload?

Hands 3

I don't think I'll be able to complete 100 this week. I underestimated how long it takes me to draw one hand.
Oh well, at least I'm learning/practicing. :)
Gonna shoot for 50!

Hands 2

Hands are still a weakness of mine. This week, I'm gonna try and draw 100 hands.
For science.
Part 2.

Long Pose 1

Done!
5 hours in Photoshop CS5.
Reference used

Long pose homework part 3

Halfway there.

Long pose homework part 2

Part 2.
It's actually an hour and 40 minutes (100) rather than 90. I just can't count. :|
Tweaked the positioning of her arms, revised the legs a bit. Spent most of my time working on the face. Added a valueish background to bring more focus to the face, too.

Long pose homework part 1

My first attempt at a long pose, as assigned by Bryan Lee.
This is 54 minutes in.

Hands

Frickin' hands, man! What do they even do!?
Used my left hand as reference.

Hand anatomy

Hands have always been a weakness of mine, but I've never really taken a good look at them. Hopefully, this'll help me understand them a bit better.

Torso study

Haven't posted in like a week. Here's a torso study!
Corel Painter 11; about 15 minutes.
