PJ Harvey

This is a old one from June or July but I am breaking out my sketch book to draw and wanted to throw this up on the Ol' Blog.

Enjoy!

Figure Drawing Class

Hi there Monday is my new figure drawing class and I don't even have to leave my house. There is a great site out there called The Gesture Drawing Tool and it allows you to draw from photos in timed intervals of 30 secs up to one hour with built in breaks. These are some of my gestures and longer poses that I liked the best. You can visit here  to see the rest.

Enjoy!

How time flys

Man I was on the internet looking at other artists blogs and falling into that same trap of I wish I was this or that about the artist's work I was looking at when I came across one artist talking about how long they had been at it and how many followers they had now. I had one but my lack of posting more than likely drove the person away (ah well). The point is I have been putting out my art and thoughts for five years now and I have learned a few thing since then and forgotten even more! The real lesson I have relearned is to have fun. So what if I have visitors to my slice of the world wide web. As long as I am having fun drawing, animating and talking about art, movies, comics and anything else that really get's me talking, then that's all that matters. Last Wednesday I spent my lunch break on a cool website for drawing reference with my phone called  http://www.pixelovely.com/gesture/index.php. This site is great because for me I get self concise trying to draw people around me for fear that they know what I'm up too and are going to rip my head off verbally, I know it's by no means substitute for drawing real live anything "In the Moment" but it helps. Anyway here are the quick sketches I did from the site.




Enjoy!

Life drawing

Did this awhile back from a photo ref and limited myself to 15 min using an egg timer. The other pic is some detail sketches of the model's nose.









Enjoy!
