Suiting up

This is jock strap boy with some clothes on. Until you get the particulars of the human body right, the clothes just aren't going to look right. Working on the folds and how the clothing drapes over the body.

Figure drawing

Trying to see what the best way to start a figure drawing is. I've tried the boney landmarks, drawing the major shapes, drawing the bones and/or muscle. Seems like proportions get skewed in most cases. This is one of those times where I wish I was in an on-site art class where I could just look up at the teacher with big, round eyes and say... HELP!

Back on track

Back on track with my figure drawing and my art course and stuff! So says the brave guy with the pencil...

Pharoah girl and duck boy

Not my proudest moment, but it was an exercise in creativity! I decided to sketch this lady in pen (no pencil baselines to work from) and then I worked on duck boy with a graphite stick. I called the girl Pharaoh lady because of her hair and chiseled face (this is probably what Pharoah's daughter looked like as she poked around in the kitchen cabinets looking for a candy bar) and duck boy has webbed hands (maybe he just got out of the water and he didn't have time to transform into his fully human self). What did I accomplish here? Well, it kept me from extending my Sunday nap to an hour from 30 minutes! (Don't even ask me how to align all these graphics on Blogger cuz obviously, I haven't figured it out!)
