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.

Pose sketches

I forgot to post these last week.

These are done from Croquis Cafe's videos, using Bryan Lee's techniques.
Also, these are from this week.

Trying to apply what I'm learning from Bryan Lee.

I am studying under Bryan Lee. This is my first assignment, base heads, getting the shape of the skull and the head right.

Sera

Fun portrait of one of my wife's characters, Sera.
...man spends two hours with the oil brushes in Painter, thinks he's the next Sargent...

Tree color practice

Something a little bit different.
I'm working on my color theory, and I think it's starting to click, so my wife asked me to spend 20 minutes and use nothing but a hard brush to depict a sakura tree on a grassy hill with a stream in the distance. The left one was my first attempt, thinking about color theory. The second one is take two, having a slightly better grasp of color theory.

Sexy Capra Demon

I'm a member of a Dark Souls/Demon's Souls group at Deviantart, and one of our members decided to start reimagining some of the bosses as SEXY.
So here's a SEXY Capra Demon, taking a break after dispatching a couple 'bros.
PSCS5/Painter X3. About 2 hours.

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.
