Hi!

Whenever you feel like dropping a comment, well ... please do so! I want to hear what you think, even if it's totally devastating, or just small details. OK, let's get it on :lounge:

Looks like you're working hard on your anatomy. Stick with it bro.

[keenPenguin]

Thanks Kungfoowiz!

Here's another one:

[Trisscar]

Great anatomical studies you have there :)

[Meaisín]

They are some nice anatomy studies there. Do you find that the Bridgman work is helping you to understand forms and assisting in your work from life? Applying these studies to real figures would be great to see. Keep up the good practice!

[keenPenguin]

Hey Trisscar and Francisck,

thanks for commenting! Yes, I think Bridgman helps a lot! Apart from drawing mostly from Constructive Anatomy, I also read his book on Heads/Faces and his Human Machine.

You're right, I haven't done posemaniacs for a while. Those that I posted earlier are rather old and drawn in about 10min each. The ones I did today are 90s each, and I feel more confident with the lines than I did before (when 90s were simply too short to draw something more or less credible).

this SB is showing me all the things I should be working much harder on. Thank you, and keep at it!

[keenPenguin]

Thanks for the comment, Hive_minD!

[element1988]

Wow a lot of studies lol i wish i could do that many studies and not get bored silly hehe. It would be nice to see you try to do a torso or a arm or leg from memory tho, just to see if the studies are sticking :) keep at it, at this rate you will be pro in no time.

[keenPenguin]

You are definitely right, element1988, drawing from memory would be some very good practice. Right now, I have very little time, but I'll try to do that over Christmas. I know that real learning will only come from trying to draw from memory, finding one's weaknesses and consulting previously done studies to turn those weaknesses into strengths.

I also took a look at your sb and was pleased to find that you, too, draw a lot of references from Bridgman and Loomis, like myself. What I liked about your sb is that you have much more variation (still lifes, creatures) than I do. I'll try to add more variety to my sketchbook, but right now, I do not manage much more than a couple of posemaniacs a day. Here's today's work:
