AikidoAl's Sketchbook

Just one to get started. Will hopefully speed up during my hour & a half in the mornings. Unfortunately picked an awkward pose...the view is supposed to be where the viewer is looking up at the figure. *crosses fingers on the foreshortening*

Hey, I used to practice aikido! :-)

Looking good! Now do more!

Some gesture work. Picking up some speed. Found out some valueable info though in that my trouble spot seems to be how the torso connects to the hips. So one of those things to study.

Thanks for the encouragement Seedling, and good to see a fellow aikidoka!

It's been awhile. Ah...whoops. Some sketches for a story. The original sketch was done traditionally, with an overlay of perspective correction via Illustrator. Then I went a bit nuts in PS/Painter.

Doing some figural work towards a painting in which there will be a group of figures. This figure will be wearing armor (that's not a bad attempt at ribs, but remnants of straps.) I think I have the shoulders and hips right, however I will double-check my references.
