Redesign of Crime Noir piece
Redesign of the Crime Noir piece I did last week. I had a buddy help me with some better photo-reference and that helped a lot. I mean a lot! adding the gun helped but I think the body position is 101% improved. First pic up is the pencils, then the line-art and finally the scan.

Inked - Crime Noir Piece
I am kind of on the fence with how I feel this one came out. It says "victim" to me and not "danger". Any way the crime noir piece is finished and I am waiting to hear what the client says. I did another version of this that I will post later. It says "danger" the guy has a gun and looked a lot tougher.

Crime-Noir
I am doing a job for a guy who is doing a script for a crime-noir webseries. This is one of my sketches. All of the black is surprisingly intimidating. Although the man is supposed to be a detective, he seems more like a zombie. So I am changing the guy. Took some reference photos yesterday, hopefully I can make him a bit more...tough? Yeah tough.

Ken Elvistrooper Tarleton - Fan art
A sketch of one of my favorate comic con regulars. Ken Elvistrooper Tarleton. He is way too cool for me to be drawing, but I dig this pose and wanted to draw it. Pen and ink in my brown paper sketchbook.

New Luke Skywalker Lineart


Here is a sketch and the line art from the sketch. I think I might try inking this with the computer before I start with markers. I have to say, I love the sketch so much more that the line art, but I think that is because the sketch has some shading and the line art has nothing but...possibility. I am stretching...growing...I hope... LOL

Great night last night
The next pose was about 40 min and this one really came together well. I feel good about the proportions and the face and to overall feeling of the piece. Soemtimes, when you actually draw a face on a life drawing if feels that you need to alot too much time to the face and it looks out of sorts with the quality of the rest of the drawing. Not this time, this seems to mesh very well.

Things clicked last night!
The top sketch is from the beginning of class, I just felt the proportions on this on were really better than my average.
The middle is the 2nd hour sketch and there are a few things that don't work about this, I felt this was a good example of my "stretching" I got out of my comfort zone and used some chalk and tried to create and entire feeling instead of just drawing the model.
The bottom one was the last sketch of the night and it just felt right. It turned out to be a real good portrait, it looks just like the model. So I was real happy with that.
Comments and crit are always welcome.

Very Satisfying Session Tuesday!
The bottom on was the model and a mannequin, in an embrace.
The top one was the last pose of the evening, I took some liberties with her figure and tried to exaggerate the "warrior woman" theme of the pose.
Great Model on Thursday!

Nine in 9

Thursday Class 4/30/09
So last night was a pretty satisfying class. We started out with 8 90-sec sketches and we did a couple of ink wash poses for about 15-20 minutes. Second-half of the class was a "freestyle" pose of about 25-30 minutes. I got 2 charcoal pieces done, The middle one was first and I start out with these broad lines that just kinda worked and after a while, I liked where it was at and didn't figure that I was going to improved it any. So I did the bottom one in about 10 min. Darker charcoal and smudged it all around and took the eraser to it to bring up the highlights and neaten it up a bit. The top page is 3, 5-min poses and I did them all on the same page. Again, in charcoal.

Thursday Class Homework - Done
Wednesday, April 29, 2009
From Thursday's Class
We had a great model for class Thursday. The first sketch was a 10-minute pose where she was moving slightly during the pose and so it threw weveryone for a loop. I thought is was a great exercise.
The one above that is charcoal on newsprint and I thought it was a really nice pose. I should have spent a little more time on the eye, I just threw it on there and it is obviously not right for the face. But I thought I got some nice subtle shadows of the back.
The top one was my favorate of the night, harsh contrast and a great pose. I needed to use some white charcoal to really beef up the lighting, cause just erasing wasn't getting the point across.

Spring Break Homework (cont'd)
Well I finally finished my Spring Break homework. I choose "Crucifixion of St. Peter" by Guido Reni, I loved the drama of the moment, great contrast and more than one person in the painting. I used charcoal for this, and this is in my sketchbook, I really worried about getting a mess everywhere...I just gotta get over that...
The top picture is "St. Jerome" by Leonardo da Vinci. I only had one day to do this one and I pretty much finished it in about an hour and a half. I thought I really captured the look and feel of the original.
I was planning on doing a Singer-Sargent, Nude Egyptian Girl, but as I was doing okay with the body, the face, the real key to the painting was just giving me fits. I even did a study just of the face and I was just not having any luck with it....So I bailed, because the teacher should be able to tell what painting the sketch was from and without nailing the face, there was no way he was going to be able to tell it was a Sargent. Anyway, I was pretty proud of my homework.

Catching up on posts
On Spring Break...These are from a couple of weeks ago. The top one is focusing on light and dark, no greys, just light or dark.
The bottom on is just a freestyle, last one of the night, just using charcoal.

LOL! I was a model last night!
This one is the one I did of my classmate. I was really happy with how it turned out. The edges aren't as sharp as I would like, but it feels real and I think looks a lot like her. Again, drawing someone without actually drawing any of 'them'. Interesting format.
