I breifly had a sketchbook up here last year for a few months, but I stopped updating it. This time I intend to keep it going with at least weekly additions.

yeah buddy! keep rockin those studies man, youll be getting better in no time. just make sure that when you draw the figures from ref, that you are studying the form and not just copying the image.. ..copying doesnt help with the learning (i have come to find). make sure you get some bone and muscle studies in there as well.. . learning the inner makings of the body will help immensly. keep them comin

[metaphysiks]

i realy iike the direction you were taking the shading on that figure drawing, reall stark and you got a good sense of the lights and darks. studies are always fun to look at, especially the foot stuff. i think i could benefit from those myself. keep it coming.

[steak-tron]

nice work, lots o' movement in lines and figures, hard to do and great to capture.

[TheBlasianOne]

xia - thanks, i love to work in pen. typically use a blue ball point bic. some people have told me not to work in pen, but sometimes it works better for me than graphite. definitely helped with my confidence in putting down lines

meta - yeah studies rock. especially when you hit a plateau. what the hell are you doing? start posting again!!

metalwinds - yeah that's why i quit doing that tonal drawing, just cuz i realized i was only copying values, and not referencing the form. going to approach it differently

steak - thanks, i try at least to get gesture in there. proper form in perspective is the tricky part for me

here's some of my interiors...


couple of my "better" attempts if you can call it that

perspective drawing is one of my favorite exercises, but also the most frustrating. i have a big problem with establishing depth and seperating things

[foster]

hey, short reply but thought i would say that i thought you were making great progress.

[kinokuniya]

wow these are great- your figures are so fluid. lovely work.

[hybridkorean]

<snip>

anymore posts like that and your're gone.

[::EPIC::]

wow that was a productive thing to say

DISREGARD

TheBlasianOne great work keep it up, i think the chick on the stairs is from a photo right? i think i remember sketching it too :)

[metalwinds]

im sure you know better, but just in case, DEFINITELY disregard what hybridkorean said. . .hes just trying to get banned as fast as possible.

those perspective drawings are great, man.. .i can see a few problems, but just keep working at them.. youll be gettin them down in no time.

[metaphysiks]

dude, i always enjoy seeing your perspective stuff, you can tell it is what you have fun doing. it gets a little confused in some areas but it is still so much fun to look at. keep up the observational stuff, it is definately helping. i could use some of it myself. i have hit a wall real hard, hence the lack of posting, but it will happen soon. thanks for the encouragement. keep it up.

p.s. matt...wtf

[TheBlasianOne]

foster - always great to get a compliment from one of the great ones. thanks.

kino - thanks, man

hybrid - umm...okay. ha

EPIC - yes that drawing was from a photoref. hey if you still have the sketch, i wouldnt mind checkin that out?

metalwinds - encouragement appreciated. the problems should grow smaller in number with time.

meta - yeah man, walls suck. but that's when you break out your sledgehammer and knock the bitch down. i've found studies are the best way for me personally. lookin forward to your return

quick study
