I would have gotten you the real thing, but since this is 2draw, you'll have to settle for a drawing of it...

I like the charcoal style.
LisaAnne (Apr 11, 2006)
It looks very much like Marcus. I also love the texture you used...sort of harmonious yet contridictory to the original photograph.

Oh so this is Mr solves shell. Lovely.

Practicing skulls at various angles and trying to figure out how the muscles and skin wrap around them.

DX gawd, how do you draw so well? Which school do you go to?
P.S.: I saw a picture of your dog, Stinky. My dog looks exactly like him. :O
comd (edited Apr 9, 2006)
Thanks - I just copied the skull here though almost directly from my book at roughly the same angle. The main purpose of the exercise was to try to figure out how outer surface of the face forms around the skull (the red lines). I don't think I quite got that part right, as it looks kind of off to me.

As for my school, I'm out of school now. I was a computer science major, so I didn't get much in the way of art classes. The extent of my formal schooling comes mostly from my high school art class and a graphics design class I took in college that was geared towards business majors. Most of my learning comes from books. My favorite authors are Hogarth, Loomis, and Bridgman. Hogarth's books just make me feel like I know absolutely nothing about anatomy. Loomis is probably the most helpful, and I like how Bridgman simplifies the human form into very mechanical-looking parts. I also have this one from Barcsay which I've been looking at a lot lately which is probably the most helpful one when it comes to understanding the forms of individual bones and muscles.

I ultimately want to get comfortable drawing figures without references which is something I'm horrible at right now. I think it's because of the way I've used references traditionally in the past. I treated the process more as a hand-eye coordination exercise when copying what I saw rather than trying to learn the essential 3d forms through the experience. I'm trying to change that now.

Is your dog a Chihuahua as well? I love them - I have another one named Beauty (the black one).

wanted to do simple, quick lines to see if I could still get the feel I wanted to convey.

I like this alot. Reminds me of Picassos sketches and charcoal.
RebekahChan (Apr 9, 2006)
yes i agree with Anne :)
Childlike_Vampire (Apr 10, 2006)
This style reminds me a lot of my uncles art, wish I had an example to show you. Very pretty.

Studying skeletal structure with 'Anatomy for the Artist' by Barcsay. The pose is not inside the book: I'm just using it to try to set up a proper skeletal structure by using multiple pictures from that book as reference. I had a particularly hard time with the forearm and pelvis because I couldn't find a drawing in the book that had the angles I needed to understand the particular forms in 3d space, so I also looked through some references on the internet a bit and felt my own forearm to try to get an idea of how those bones curve around each other. I'm still not quite sure about those areas. It'd be nice if I could figure out how to simplify them somehow.

**eat j00* This is really good o_O even for practice and such *tear tear* i'm dirven to try this sometime >_<

can't help you on anything x.x wish i could, but i'm kinda.. learning off you :3
comd (edited Apr 9, 2006)
Oh thanks. :) I don't know how much I learned doing this study, but I did find out something exciting about the forearm. I'll try to draw another picture to show what I mean. It's probably common sense for most people, but I never really thought about it.

The proportions are probably a bit off in this one, but I wasn't concerned about proportions - I just wanted to get the basic idea of the shapes of the bones at the angles provided. Also the bones look a bit thin to me for the amount of flesh I put around them. That's probably something I'm going to have to develop intuitively.
LisaAnne (Apr 9, 2006)
Its a very good study...when I had my life drawing class in the summer for college I remember my teacher having us draw each bone individually before she even let us draw full bodies...it helped alot, just knowing exactly how each bone connected to the next, and how weight effected them. The pelvis can be difficult, because of the curves, but honestly I like drawing it. (I'm talking about drawing in pencil/charcoal though, because haha I really lack skill with the mouse.)
I'm very impressed.

I keep visualizing her looking over some sort of fire....
DeadlyBlondeArcher (Apr 18, 2006)
Beautiful lighting... I imagine her sitting on a soft rug in front of a fireplace, and her expression looks like she's longing for someone. When a painting gives you a larger picture than what's actually depicted in the subject matter, it works. This does.

Playing around with transparency. I guess its loosely based on a strange fascination i have with cigarette smoke and the way it creates a wavey stringey texture before disappearing into the air.

wow...one of the best things I've seen on isketch for awhile! Kudos!
LisaAnne (Apr 8, 2006)
Interesting...I might say archive worthy. Conceptually its more inventive than alot of the work I see on here.
Gemmy619 (Apr 8, 2006)
Very cool, looks like a freaky ghost photo i saw once on ghoststudy, i love how the face almost has a glass look to it, great draw :)
