Day77

Today I spent my time drawing the skeleton, I'm going to draw the skull next time, because I really suck at it!



I then drew the same from my memory:

Day 77

I picked these are the best of today's session:




I started off with 30 second poses on posemaniacs,
thinking geometry for the basis this time.





I then did 60 second drawings with the same mentality:





Then applied the same to longer studies (as the two on top)


Earlier today I drew this study of an expression of my face,
Marc don't laugh..I know it's not nearly as close as cool as your self portrait,
I was uninspired after doing texture studies for visual language...
I hate that class! :D

Day 76

Now..today was a nice session even though I didn't do it for a full hour, but I'm thinking of doing some more studies tonight.

45 second poses on posemaniacs




No timelimit (random images)

Day 75

This month was terrible in terms of sketchbook work, I used the time I had to work on projects for college instead, since I felt I made decent progress with these daily sketches. But now I quite my job, so I have no excuses. I have to produce work here daily again :D Not very happy with today's outcomes, I wasn't feeling very loose and dug into stupid little details that take away from the poses.

Day 74

Day 73

Ok and we're back to figure studies! It's important to everyonce and a while ask yourself what it is you want to do, and what your short term goals are.
Mine is definitly to get employed as fast as possible, and I think animation is the skill I want to sell on my cv, so in order to achieve that I just have to focus on actual animation, which means strong life drawing and lots of good animations both in 2d and 3d.
I'll be finishing my job in 2 weeks time so then I won't have to work on these studies at midnight anymore and I'll be using different media to explore the figure.
For now I stick to pencils!

In this image here I tried to build the image from shaded planes, really break things down in a constructional way, which I think would really help painting at a later stage.



I then did some blind drawings (which I didn't post) and moved on to some more loose drawingsbut still trying to rely on strong shapes rather then outlining the figure.

Day 72

Following in the footsteps of my friend Marc McCabe (check out his blog), I did a masterstudy this morning based on one of Frank Frazetta's paintings, it's actually surprising how much fun it is to copy an amazing piece of work like that. I might put in another hour tomorrow to finish this study.
