Yeeee, character designs for my clothed figure drawing class!

So here's a bunch of school stuff from this semester! I'm almost up to date. Maybe 3 more posts and I'll be posting things from each week. I've been drawing so much I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up and I definitely can't post everything. :| But I'll certainly try.

Here's our first homework assignment. Flour sacs!



A 10 minute doodle I liked. The following are all done on 16x24 newsprint. (I think that's the right size)



I didn't really like the model so I idealized her a bit... But that's okay. The results turned out alright. I'm getting much better at line quality and proportions. Here I'm doing some under-drawings, but right now in class I've eliminated them all together. It's such a great feeling when practice pays off.




I loved this girl. She had such great rhythm.

Paintins

Here are some still lives that I've done in the past year. I'm slowly learning a technique that I'm comfortable with, I'd have to say all of these are studies. I used a technique that was inbetween dry and wet that looks pretty smooth, but towards the end of these I had more of a wet technique. Sadly, some of my paintings are at home with the family so I didn't have a chance to scan them in and share. I will one day.

I think I gave this one to my Grandma for Christmas. Good times. On a 11x14 canvas.



WOO METAL, that doesn't really look like metal because I used so much blue. Oh well. 11x14


Glass, my favorite. The idea of this one was 'brandy and cigarettes washed down with a coke'. A very pessimistic painting, heh. 18x24



This is one of my favorites for sure. I used a wood panel rather than canvas, and I really liked the smooth texture. 9x12


And this one I did this year. My first assignment for 'figure painting', oh boy. 14x17

Just one of those bad days I needed to pretend I was as relaxed as this girl, so I drew it out.



And more relaxation methods,

DOGS. And a peacock.

Here are some more finished ones I liked from last semester.

Would you just look at this man's bum? Yes it is a man. With a very sculpted everything.



This is the same guy but from the front. Perfect features. I couldn't even come close to doing him justice. That's my goal to one day draw Kurt perfectly and hang it in my room. :3



This is probably one of my favorite pen drawings I've done. We had about an hour to finish it, so I tried to take my time.


And here's my final project for Intermediate Figure Drawing..... The fantasy portrait! I had so much fun with this, as you can probably tell. I researched a lot of anatomy to separate the face correctly and I looked up some bird skulls. It's me as a zombie. :B


This was another one of my pen drawings I really liked. I didn't really like the model that much so I just used the pose as a reference and changed a few things.




And now that that's over *whew* I'll be posting stuff from this semester, yay.

Just then

Looking at my arts made me want to draw a little. I've felt so crappy lately I haven't really had energy to do anything but sleep, drink tea, and look at the computer screen. I just drew out an avatar for myself to use on forums and stuff. It might not be exactly what I want yet or as coherent as I want, but oh well. Here's the big version!

Getting closer to current events now. These are all from last semester. Experimenting with graphite, ball point pen, and ink pen. I felt quite a bit of improvement from 3rd semester to 4th. Just letting all the information sit over summer did some good for me I suppose.



I love Bob. He has the best shapes. And those hippie glasses are just so classic.



Lloyd. Did this one with a mechanical pencil. Pretty tedious, but I like the sketchy effect.


Graphite pencil I think?



These are some of my favorite gestures I've ever done. 5 minutes. I'm so proud of the line quality, I wish I could achieve that more often.


I don't know who she was but she always looked so sad. Very androgynous looking too. She was a good model.
