Awesome studies!

**hufigure** · November 6th, 2008

Hi,

Thank you very much for all the support. Sorry that I could not update my lectures as often as I would like due to my crazy schedule. However, I will keep posting any of my new stuff when I have a chance.

**AztcFireFlower** · November 11th, 2008

Charles,

Your stuff is amazing. I'm intimidated by your ability to create some of these BIG drawings out of your head. No model! Thanks for providing some awesome reference material, especially the knee. Very generous of you to post your demos for us to learn from.

You are an amazing artist and teacher. I'm glad I took your classes at LAAFA and glad you have your studio classes up and running.

See you in Pasadena.

Regards
Esmeralda

**JoshK** · November 11th, 2008

hey charles thanks for posting this, its really helpful =) I used to go to your saturday painting workshop every week at school, hopefully I have more time to do that again.

**hufigure** · November 12th, 2008

Hi everyone,

I would like to let all of you know that my teacher and great mentor - Steve Huston is going to do a slide presentation and painting demo at my school, 3Kicks Fine Art Studio.

**Animation Idiot** · November 21st, 2008

Hi there! I am an instant fan of your work, especially since you use a lot of the same figure models we have had at laguna college for your demos.

I have a brief study I did from a torso in your first-page post in my thread. (my sketch thread is here; http://www.conceptart.org/forums/sho....php?p=2004966 ) It's not much, but it provoked a mini-revelation in me as I was drawing it that I talk about in my thread. On that note, I would like to ask you - any suggestions for how I should go about doing studies from your work? Edit: Or better yet, any sort of further exercises I could do you could recommend?

Also I am looking at likely enrolling in your school for summer 2009, which should be a real blast!

**Phlipper** · December 5th, 2008

Awesome life drawing, Charles. Looking at your stuff is a great motivator. Although, it makes me realize just how far I have to go and how hard I will have to work to get there. Thanks for sharing them.

**Rasme** · December 10th, 2008

Very Nice drawings
Did your teacher by any chance study in Sct. Petersborg, Russia?

**Rasme** · December 10th, 2008

-So did you by any chance study in Russia, or maybe had a Russian teacher?

**Zeus12** · February 7th, 2009

Charles your stuff is inspiring, you would be a great teacher! Oh, wait you are one!

. But, honestly I wish I lived in Cali I would definitely attend that school. But, alas I do not! Keep it up and post more

**John Doe** · February 15th, 2009

Hey. Just got to thank you for the demos you posted. I'm a first year illustration student from Sheridan and I have to say they are really helpful in trying to get anatomy in my head. And since my figure drawing is suffering a bit these are a godsend.

Sucks that I don't live anywhere near Cali, if I did I would try to apply for your classes in a heartbeat. Oh well...

So thanks.
