Life Drawing: Top 10 from 4th Semester

Here's something I meant to post a while ago, my top 10 drawings from last semester.  This time we had to hand in our best 10 pages.  It could be just 10 drawings, but it seemed better to group drawings and make use of the entire page since we were not handing in the original drawings this time.

If you want to see my previous top 10 drawings you can check out semester 3 HERE, semester 2 HERE, and semester 1 HERE.

I'm happy with how these compare to previous semesters.  The freedom to pick from 10 pages was nice because I could throw a few crazier ones in there.  There are also better realistic drawings, but some of my favorite drawings happen when I play around with proportions and pose.

The Photoshop tweaks here are pretty minimal.  I wanted to keep the paper texture there, because a lot of the subtle stuff gets lost when I took the background to white.  Basically just cut and paste with some level tweaks so they would look alright on screen and when printed.

Thanks for looking!

Life Drawing: Let's see what I've got here

Alright, doing a little computer clean-up here at school.  Here's a few random drawings!  I think this brings me almost to the end of the semester.  I've got my life drawing portfolio around here somewhere.  I'll upload that soon too.

My Grad Book Page

Here is what my Grad Book page ended up looking like.  It's a 2 page spread.  Everybody in the class does one, and then we give the book to studios and people interested in the program.

Life Drawing: A Little Bit of Everything

Suprise!  It's some life drawing!

Working on shading.

Not quite what the model looked like.

More shading.

Trying out some different gesture drawing styles.

A little cartoon scene I drew up with conte.

 

Another approach to gesture drawing.  I like some of these.

Thanks for having a look!

Life Drawing: Start of 4th Semester

Here's the first batch of 2013 Life Drawing.  Lots of short poses.  Soooo many.

Trying some silhouette gestures to help form clear poses.

Trying out a lot of different gesture approaches.  Capturing the poses is the main thing, but there are soooo many ways to try to do it.  Oh well, fun to experiment.

A couple full pages gestures to stay loose.

The model had this awesome Thor hammer, but then I realized I didn't remember what Thor looked like, but I had be watching Spartacus (sooo good) so problem solved

Rounder

Straighter

Was playing some Jak and Daxter that week.  That game has awesome design.

May have pushed the form slightly here.  Reminds me of some ancient art.

Thanks for having a look!
