Curious George is cute!  It's obviously very much a kids' movie but it's fun for some laughs as long as you're willing to turn off your brain about the plot. =)

It seems that at least once a quarter a model doesn't show up =P So we drew each other again.

Man what. Try to pretend it's a caricature | 10 minutes is not long enough for color. | ( Read more... )

Yesterday Kevin took me to Gnomon for a tour/interview and it went AWESOME!  I was so paranoid that I'll never get in because they accept like 24 students a year, but the director lady said my portfolio looks solid (and it's not even final yet!) and I really think I'll make it in come fall quarter and they have such awesome computer labs and ( Read more... )

Nothing better than a big burly black man for musculature. ;P

1 minute: Using pen for 1 minute sketches is probably good for me but right now it sucks. | This is the only good one. | See what I mean? | Seriously, this is crap. | This one too. | It just goes down from here. | Crap. | Crap. | Crap. | Seriously, what

5 minutes: Fortunately, I got my ( Read more... )

I'm taking figure drawing classes again this quarter!  Don't expect there'll be anything new (...even the models...) but hell, $25 for 8 weeks of practice is a damn good deal.  Sadly, I don't seem to have gotten any better compared to what, two years ago? >:(

1 minute: Looks like pencil is even less productive than charcoal. I just wanted to study ( Read more... )

Well, winter break time's over and I didn't get done basically any of the projects I set aside to do "over winter break" (Sorry ctrl_a, I'm afraid that FF logo is too complicated and scary for me.) but at least ( I didn't completely waste my time sitting on my ass! )

Whee, a male model! A really... LARGE... male model... You can see me looking uuuppp in the perspectives of the first pics ^^;

1 minute: Hm, good flow. | 2 | I'm huge! | 4 | 5 | Look out! Ass shot!

5 minutes: 1 | 2

10 minutes: Another partly-no-glasses. Nice | Decent face. But I was freaked because at first I made him look like a white guy ( Read more... )

Oh wow, the model this week flowed like water. She must be a magnificent dancer. Drawings kinda so-so due to fatigue from schoolwork, but there were a few gems. Let's see here...

1 minute: 1 | 2 | Yoga fire! ...ja nakute... | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Faces were good this week.

5 minutes: 1 | 2

10 minutes: Pwetty colors! | Head too big. =(15 ( Read more... )

Damn... the new sketchpad has thin paper, so the drawings show through unless I put white papers underneath when I'm taking the pictures. Pain in the butt. Anyways ( Read more... )

I was tired this week, so the drawings aren't as energetic, though towards the end they got kinda carefully decent.

1 minute: 1 | 2 | getting more warmed up. | 4 | 5 | this one's not bad either. | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10

5 minutes: 1 | 2

10 minutes: colors! Waist bad. | unnatural colors are easier to do than | matching skin tone.

15 minutes: at this ( Read more... )

Figure drawing was tough this week - the model made really hard poses with lots of foreshortening, but more than that I'm not familiar enough with drawing the male body, I would guess. Once I started into color it got better though, because his skin tone matched my pastels better than the female models =)

1 minute: 1 | 2 | @#*$! | 4 | This one's ( Read more... )
