Fun with colored pencils!

From class, trying to incorporate structure.

Finished a sketchbook! Played with colored pencils on last page. (photo reference credit: mjranum-stock on deviantart)

Here is a before/after collage comparing 14 mo ago to now

Pastels

Went to Ann's class and did these:

Experimenting

Posemaniacs to practice structure

Attempt to draw hand holding pencil, tea kettle, and iphone from real life

Then just experimentation

New class and teacher | Blue Paper

Red chalk on blue paper

Charcoal on very nice paper - new technique

Master study - Michelangelo

Attempt to copy Michelangelo. Too stout and constricted looking, needs to be longer, leaner, looser.

More with ink

Ink gestures (5 min) and a longer pose (20 min)

Need to work on rhythm and structure.

Sketches with marker and pen

First inking

Charcoal (10 min) and first time using ink (25 min) in life drawing class

Some sketches - just messing around. Need to learn color theory.

Head studies

Heads using Loomis

5 minute gesture (photo reference)

Sketch (no reference)

Still drawing

Have not updated for awhile, but still been drawing everyday, trying to improve. Here are some recent drawings (from life and from photographs). PRACTICE! PERSISTENCE!
