Day 13 Life drawing

So doing more life drawing on pixel lovely and started the 2 hour class mode and was about up to the second 5 minute pose when I accidentally hit the stop button rather than the pause (pausing and unpausing lets you see how much time remaining) which means that I'll need to start it again, so taking a quick break and will do so, but here is what I got:

I've been feeling a little directionless in my practice lately, and think that it may be a lack of focus, of progress, so I've decided that I'll put the practice towards completing a more finished, polished piece for the week.

Day 12 Life drawing and doodle

Did a 10 minute life drawing session from Pixel lovely again, this time using the artrage application though, decided to start colouring with pastels, although ran out of time for that.

I then did a doodle using pastels in artrage.

Since that I've been going through a video tutorial on comic book colouring, which I won't be posting here as I'm using the Line art supplied with the tutorial, and as its not mine, I'm not sure what the copy right restrictions would be even though I did the colouring.  Still going well, I'll do some line art and apply the techniques to colouring that.

I will be continuing the solar system exercise this afternoon.

Day 11 - Start of solar system (Maya)

Doing the first exercise in the intro to Maya book, here are the current work in progress:

Day 11 Felines and Lifedrawing

This morning I did two sketches one of a cat, and one life drawing, again using the pixel lovely site set to 10 minutes.

I'm now going to do some exercises in Maya :)

Day 10 insects

Today I did several 10 minute insect sketches ( http://artists.pixelovely.com/practice-tools/animal-drawing/ )

For some reason I'm really enjoying drawing insects at the moment, I think its the exoskeleton :)

Christmas update

So been taking some holidays, haven't stopped exactly but been doing a lot of cooking and drawing in my sketchbook rather than digitally (even did some painting).  Back to drawing tomorrow morning!

Until then I hope you are having a fantastic "Primary gift giving period" or whatever you celebrate (or don't) this time of year!

Day 9 - just some fun

in Artrage :)

Day 9 - Life Drawing

4 1 min poses:

2 5 Minute Poses:

1 11 Minute Pose:

1 30 Minute Pose:

I then did the same for Animal drawing ( http://artists.pixelovely.com/practice-tools/animal-drawing/ ) set to all animals, again using photoshop:


10 30 Sec poses:

4 1 min poses:

2 5 Minute Poses:

1 11 Minute Pose:

1 30 Minute Pose:

I'm really starting to enjoy this site, especially the animal drawing component, (even with the seemingly over abundance of Horse images) I just wish it had a countdown timer as well.  While at life drawing you don't have that, they still generally call out periodically with the time remaining so you have an idea.

And just to round it of I did another exercise from Loomis' "Fun with a Pencil":

I think thats the last of the Blook balls for now, next is expression...
