Subway Sketching

More animations to come up shortly, but for right now a little subway sketching...

Busy...

Right... not much to this post... more gestures... and a couple of modeled exercises... a modeled drawing is basically a description of a 3d form on a 2d space using tonal values... its tougher then it sounds... and these ones aren't the most successful pieces...

and a close up of his shoulder



and finally a longer head/shoulder study (20 minutes)... the proportions are way off on this one... but I was focusing on the underlying features and the shadowing tones

I have Cerulean Blue veins

Right, a couple of little homework paintings to put up here... first one speaks for itself... and if you don't understand the language, then you certainly arn't pro enough...

We upgraded to full colour, so here is a terrible (but quick) rendition of a goblet 'O' 25 year old wine...


In life drawing, we've been doing a 5 hour Blind Contour Drawing... which is a exercise in tedium, but I've been enjoying how its turned out... this is after roughly 3 hours of drawing...


and finish off with an old facial gesture of some old guy from my class (but seriously, he's a great artist)

a facinating new thing

ok... not to make too much of a habit out of this, cause I doubt there will be many concurrent days of posting on this blog, but our class has finally moved onto an interesting subject... we've started to draw the heads and facial features... and despite the senile instruction I think the class has already really taken to the facial gestures... here's a couple, and expect plenty more in the future...



and to finish off with a couple of new gestures... (I've really been enjoying this latest model, very expressive hands and a great range of movement)
