Life Drawing

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008 | Drawings, Felix, Life-Drawing | No Comments

Well okay, sort of. The shoe’s a life drawing, the other one is only if you define life drawing very loosely. Our narrow friend is a combined and distorted version of various people in the room with me. The shoe is just that — a shoe (mine, specifically).

Today was packed. I fit in a bit of quick figure work while doing my laundry around the block. Most people moved too quickly for me to get anything meaningful. Here were the two subjects who stayed still for me the longest. I definitely need to work on proportion.

Repairing the Nimabot

Monday, October 13th, 2008 | Drawings, Jimsan | 4 Comments

This drawing began as simple shapes and, using cheap tracing paper, was refined 5 times to come out with the final product shown here. This is the third part of a three part series for my printmaking course. This will be etched into a copper plate, bathed in acid, and printed several times.

Those mischievous little Nimabots are always getting into trouble.

Monday’s Drawings

Hi everyone. Steve told me about this project, and through (not) a great deal of persuasion, he said he’d let me in on the fun. Great!

Two drawings for everyone today. One’s a feather made in Adobe Illustrator, and the other’s an abstract drawing from my notebook. About 1.5 hours/each. I’ll get faster.

Three really *is* a crowd!

Just a few more blooks, from page 17. Looks like I’ll be doing a bunch of spheres and such next. I’m also re-reading the first chapters of “Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain” by Betty Edwards. I’ll get to some work on that shortly. And I’ll be catching up to Jimmy soon.

Fun with a pencil, part 1

Saturday, October 11th, 2008 | Drawings, SteveMack | No Comments

I decided a little while to try my hand at Andrew Loomis’ version of drawing instruction, with his “Fun with a pencil” book. Hey, if it’s not fun, why do it, right? I’m just finished page 16, and the little head guys (He calls them “blooks”) are quite a bit of fun to work on. It’s taking me about ten minutes a head, which seems kind of sad. He’s got a lot of pages of blooks though, so I think I’ll be a bit faster by the end of it. 🙂

Hey everyone! I’ve wanted to become a decent artist since I could first hold a crayola, but the road as been slow and arduous. I’m hoping this 1000 hour project will keep me motivated and increase my skill. Wish us luck!

Popping up where you least expect them.
