I've been wanting to draw fanart of something other than superheroes for a while, but I wasn't sure what. The I reread the Rivers of London books (next one coming out in just a couple of months, yay!) and said hey, I know exactly what I want to draw!

So, Captain America 2 was seriously awesome and I need to see it about a million more times. Full review coming up soon. In the meantime, have some fanart, aka "Rusalka fools around with colored pencils again."

( Natasha is the best, seriously )

Had another life drawing class yesterday, the first one since... November, I think. We had a male model again, which made me happy, because the last time we had one, I was having a day of extreme incompetence and everything I drew looked like bizarro chicken scratches. Yesterday, at least, I managed chicken scratches with recognizable human ( Read more... )

Wow, has it really been over four months since I've made an art post? It's not that I stopped drawing, it's that between work and travel and more work I haven't had a lot of free time. But I did manage a few bits of fanart, so in my usual fashion, I'm going to post them and ramble about them behind the cut.

( Still drawing comic book characters. )

Still working on learning how to draw. Getting slightly better, I think, not that I'm a great judge of my own work. Most of these have been posted to my tumblr, but I figure I'll post a round-up here once a month or so, as a back-up. Hopefully that's not too spammy.

( Fanart: Tony Stark, Black Widow, Captain Marvel, Runner 5. Also, a couple of mildly NSFW figure studies. )

A few people have suggested that I just photograph my drawings rather than trying to scan them, which did seem to work reasonably well. So here are a few of my latest efforts. Compared to the last post, it looks as if I took a giant step backwards, but that's because I'm not copying anymore.

( Five and ten-minute poses. NSFW, I guess, though it's not like you're getting anatomical accuracy here. )

So, I took an art class, and it was a lot of fun! More specifically, I did a one-day figure drawing workshop at the Art Gallery of New South Wales. I had no clue what to expect, and I think part of me had this irrational fear that, even though it was specifically listed as geared for beginners, I'd wind up being the sole incompetent in a room ( Read more... )

The answer is, "No, it probably isn't." Still, for the past couple of months I've been making a kinda-sorta-serious effort to learn how to draw. Drawing is one of two abilities I've always envied like heck in other people (the other one being singing, but I gave up trying to sing years ago, for which the world is surely grateful). And being in ( Read more... )
