Back to Studies

I have not updated this blog in adages. Which shows how little how I've been drawing 😀

Part of that was because of an injury I had, and then once I lost the habit, it's been hard getting back into a rhythm. So I've come backing studies on a different angle. This time around I've been studying from comics. Not technically life drawing, but it's still studying the figure. So I'll be posting my studies here. 

An exercice I came up with is to copy a hand from a comic (this is from X-men, artist: Paul Smith). And draw it 4-5 times, than draw it without looking. An attempt to expand your library of shapes. Not sure if it works or not yet :P

Same with heads, this a drawing from Buscema in Magik. I always find that when I draw a style I am not familiar with, it takes me quite a lot of pages to be able to draw it. But by making the mistakes, you can often stumble on things you like. This can all end up being your style.
