nudes and cadavers - recent sketchbook drawings

[Llewellyn]

This thread is of drawings that are all from the past month. There might be a gesture or two from before, but the rest are all new.

Here's a girl I met at Barnes and Noble over Christmas Break.

these were drawn while the model was moving slowly. i think you learn more about movement this way because you see it happen right before your eyes. you have the pick the "key frames" instead of the mdel handing them to you.

I´m normally not in the cheering crowd but that´s VERY fine stuff - maybe some of the best drawings I´ve seen here yet. It´s just humbling an old fart like me ...

It´s nice to have you on the board - keep on posting!

[cucaracha]

wow, they are really cool... no crits

just one question: you met this (foreign?) girl and said "hya, get out of ur clothes, i'll draw you" and she just "youp." ??? :D

[brokencow]

sweet deal dude.

I used to ask girls from my highschool to pose nude for me all the time.
But now that i'm in college i didn't think it would work.
But you can bet your ass i'm going to try now.

great sketches, can't wait.

[mime]

simply amazing

such softness and beauty in your lines/values/shapes ....

and i love the way you draw women, there is a lot of emotion in those drawings.

really impressive

[gekitsu]

absolutely gorgeous.

[Sketch]

Wow what inspiration! That last drawing is amazing. Everything is dead on. Love the rendering as well. I'm amazed!:eek:

[MindCandyMan]

These are fantastic...I am speechless quite like everyone else Did you use pencil for all of these or did you use any different mediums. Also what size do you normally work at...are these just 8 x 10 sheets. Awesome awesome work man...inspiring.

[Coma]

Incredibly beautiful work, especially the first one. It has a very sensual mood to it, it's all in her expression. Her hand nearest to the viewer looks off though, I don't know if it's the hand size or the arm size. It just struck my eye. I may not be reading it right. Other than that, again, incredible work.

[mcotie]

I want to draw like this when I grow up.

frickin beautiful.

[stephen]

wow.... i wanna draw cuties from boarders too... :( or barns n noble, either will do!

nice f'n work!

[Android]

Kev- that last drawing of your ex is freaking magnificant, I always thought you did a realy great job at rendering your figure sketches but this one takes your level of detail to a new level. you are realy growing as an artist. I love seeing your new work on the boards.

[JoshuaTheJames]

Thanks brother! I needed that!

-Joshua

[Patton Art]

wow... not only is your work amazing; but you can get a girl that you just met recently to pose nude for you. you must be a real pimp lol

how do you do it? i mean both things; drawing/rendering so well and pickin up girls. haha j/k j/k

I can't wait to see more :D

[Landmate]

wonderful stuff, I enjoyd it, thanks :)

[pibb991]

excellent. :rock:

i must know, how long did you work on that last drawing?

[jfo]

mmm...perhaps the nicest part is that none of them are fussed over. Very fresh and energetic, but very aware and purposeful. Simply awesome work!

[jrr]

great work, please, more....

[xjmaschox]

Awesome, I have been a fan ever since Sean Barber told us about you at a seminar. Found your page through his site....That last piece is incredible. Thanks for posting these here, freakin inspiring figurative work.

[davi]

oooo baby please more :)
These are awesome. I've never seen your life work before, insanely impressive.

If you have old work you should make an new thread for your old stuff.

[I.was.ink]

check out his site! he obviously knows his stuff. He's been studying under some guy since he was 12 and is now 21.

The part I was mostly astonished about was that he has filled up 62 sketchbooks. That's right folks, check out his bio. It says that in there!

Shoot, I'll be lucky to fill up half of that in a life time!:eek:

O!

[AmadorL]

Can anyone point out a good brand of pencil for these type of drawings? And how many different grades are needed to make a good rendering?

I actually found college women MUCH more willing to pose nude, with much less coaxing. greater variety of body styles as well.

[el coro]

beautiful stuff, kev. like the new site as well.

[mR.anGel]

[rybeck]

and Kevin, I suprised that you did finish over 60 sketchbook for 2 1/2 years... Did you do it when you were in school? Can you share some stuffs from them, if you don't mind?
