Still life in acrylics. Gave up after about 2 hours because it was moving too slowly.

DSG from yesterday - which also happened to be the day my domain expired without me realizing it. Working on getting it back, but thankfully I can still access files through the IP.

Hey JProvost, Im really likin your stuff here, you have a clean style. The arm studies are very helpful. thanks :D

[JProvost]

They're referenced from George B. Bridgeman's "The Human Machine." In my opinion, Bridgeman wrote (drew) the best books on anatomy and drawing.

[PeggyChung]

haha i have the bridgeman which has all his books smashed together. i think its because i havnet gone into the hand part, just the arm. im gettin there! yea bridgeman is great, though is descriptions arent very helpful, showing in mass helps a bunch. welp back to drawing :D

In my humble opinion, there are three ultimate anatomy sutras...and they have different approach. BRIDGEMAN, LOOMIS, and VILPU. I am not going to say how r they diff 'cuz I am not qualify, but u will know when you look at them. Great Bridgeman study by the way.

[JProvost]

I like Loomis' method of breaking down the body in to simple planar forms for painting. It really helps to establish values. I've never heard of Vilpu but I'll keep an eye open for his books.

Some research studies for both my weekly acrylic painting series and my proposed graphic novel. (two unsubstantial sketchbook pages squeezed together for your viewing 'pleasure')

[sin]

awesome stuff, id like to see more. also, 10 points for you for the cursive reference :D

dirty scans of hands and dying buildings.

I've started work at a signage/printing company, so I'm still getting used to the schedule of having no time. Hopefully, more regular updates will follow...

[JProvost]

Development of style for proposed graphic novel. Fine ink lines with wet-in-wet ink washes. (Though I think I worked a little too wet here)

This is just sketchbook paper, so I got really irregular bleeding. Does anyone know a good (preferably cheap) kind of paper that works well with ink wash?

More of this variety of drawing to come.

[TheUbermind]

you are very talented mr.provost, did you go to art school, if so can you tell me which, because im currently looking at a couple and, really have no i dea of which to go to. it would be a big help if you could tell me,

ps i like the comic at top

[steak-tron]

great sketches man. I saved some of them hands for personal reference. I Like to see a little Graphic Design around these threads too. nice logo.

If you keep on the summer schedule so will I.
-:cyclops:

[Hyver]

refreshing mix of styles and techniques here... perfect browsing material for a sunday evening. keep it up!

[Keepiru]

These sketches are really cool. The hands, especially the first set, are great studies. I also like your ink and marker (I think?) sketches, and that logo is off da hook. rock on.

[JProvost]

Messy Bridgeman studies. The way I see it, it's like taking notes in class. You're never going to read them, so why make it legible? The important part is the process of running the information through your mind to your hand. Of course, process-oriented exercises can yield interesting results (such as a blind contour).

[endregan]

hey man great studies :)

you make bridgman look clean haha

bridgman studies are great for sure!

[Diego]

hey man, i really like what you're doing, very clean and i think you'll learn a lot this summer....
Your hand studies are great...
Keep it up......:beer:

[walker]

wow, I really like your architectural sketches, mainly the ink drawing of the bridge :chug:

[JProvost]

Whoa, I haven't been receiving my subscribed thread emails. Time for some replies.

TheUbermind: Thanks. I just finished my first year in Sheridan College's BAA Illustration program this April. The year previous I took Art Fundamentals at Sheridan.

steak-tron: Yes... my summer schedual. The one that is currently crumbling. You keep it up and I'll try to get back into the swing of things.

Hyver, Keepiru, endregan,
Diego, walker: Thanks for the support.

More graphic novel development. Still not being aggressive enough with the ink... all my wet-in-wet washes are turning out like glazes because I keep fussing with them. I just have to find the right balance of tightness of drawing and looseness of style.

[Nadim]

This last graphic novel is the story of my life .

Nice varied work James - waiting for your next post .

Nadim.

[insane visions]

nice

[Summer Pudding]

Great variety here man. I love the Da Vinci style weird bike thing, and your last post is looking good too.

[dakoscwash]

Wow.. You have some really amazing concepts and illustrations here. I love the sequences as well. Something about your work just makes it so pleasing to look at. It makes me want to draw. Keep up the great work man.

1967 Ford Mustang (i.e. what's in my garage). Little project for father's day (i.e. my portfolio). Rendering to follow.

[endregan]

sweeet. That is so hardcore.

I liked the comic too, nice story. You should develop it more and have him turn into a superhero

[Yina]

[nmcleod]

wow, these last two pages are really great. i love the hand studies

[Jeff Jaws]

hey, your sketchbook kicks some ass, dude. your last pages are great, I really like that jumping figure and the kid's face. the figure though has some failures, at least her left hand looks a bit weird to me, as well as the lenght of the arms, but I'm not that good at anatomy, so what am I talking ;) Hand studies are solid, have to do those, too. Well, needless to say that the mustang rendering is KILLER!! don't stop, keep up the great work.
