Figure studies and a BIG THANK YOU (3 imgs)

[House Hatke]

Hello folks. This is my first post here and I wanted to thank you guys for posting such a great references section. I've been neglecting my life drawing for some time now and this has gotten me back to it!

Here are a few of the sketches I have done working off of the models in the reference section:

Red X's on my first post. How embarrassing.

Not bad! Keep it up!

I like these a lot. Especially the first two.. it looks like you've gone back in with a hint of color just to make them stick out more. Nice touch! BTW, did you draw these from an online reference? I'd love to know where so I could do the same. Keep it up.

THese are pretty good. I like the first one the most.

Thanks for the feedback! There is a lot of stuff going on on this board.

Jeff> I've been using the references that are posted in the references forum right here at conceptart.org. It's a gold mine, man. Lots of solid black and white photography.

I've gotten real into putting touches of colored pencil (and highlights) into my sketches just to punch them out. Thanks for noticing:
