I used to get excited about April Fools day. Not really because I’m much of a prankster but rather because it usually involved shenanigans and I like me some shenanigans. This year I really didn’t even see it coming. A few internet hoaxes and that was about all I saw. I guess I’m getting old. [...]
More drawings…
First is a drawing from a picture of Ingrid Michaelson, who I think is is lovely. Second is of Jenny, the barkeep at Ms. Potters here in Louisville, who is also lovely. Though you can’t tell it from this drawing. :)
Digital Study
A digital anatomy study from today. I wonder how much, if at all, the tools I use for digital negatively affect the results when compared to my pencil work. I use a Wacom 3×5. Thoughts?
Anatomy Study(s)
A couple anatomy studies from today. I should point out that the iPhone, or any smart phone for that matter, is a fantastic tool for an artist. Being able to pull up stock imagery from just about anywhere is very handy. I’ll look up the references in the morning. Both are from deviant-art somewhere. I [...]
Portrait Study
Still working on trying to get the likeness of a person. This wasn’t a complete miss but I still have lots of work to do. Reference
My Art Crush
So I have a confession to make. I have an art crush and… it’s a dude. I can’t deny it any longer. Everyday when I log on to my computer and start browsing through my Google Reader. The first place I look is Brilliant Anyway. I don’t know Dave Malan, have never met him or [...]
Pregnant Woman
I drew this yesterday and added some basic value. Today I went over it to add more contrast. I’m not sure I improved the image. Done in my physical sketchbook with a 2B graphite drafting pencil.
More randomness
More randomness. Get used to it. The lips and the nude are from observation (photo) the rest was from in my head. I’d like to more naturally come to the conclusion of using basic shapes for initial construction but it just isn’t where I start, typically. I need to work on that. This was done [...]
Lunchtime Sketches
Some random sketches I did today at lunch. Since I ultimately want to do art that will frequently involve the human form. I really need to work on my faces and anatomy. So most of what you see on here will fall into that category.
