Bowmen

Heres a 4 hour study I just finished recently:

So my two overall goals with this one were to 1) Work on my shading consistency and 2) To do a pelvis  bone study. Holy crap is that thing confusing. Anyway it kinda ended up a little funky, next time I'm probably going to re-draw the pelvis area on a seprate piece of paper instead of trying to work it into the actual pose. There are also a few other things that still need work.  

Celebrating with da Boys

This ones a keeper ;)

Anatomy Study

This was something one of my teachers recommended doing over the summer. So the initial pose I drew from a live model. Then the next day I drew it again, but this time with an anatomy book open next to me. Study took me two hours, theres definitely a few things that could be tweaked.

Gluttony has escaped from Hell!!!!

During the school year a drew an incarnation of Envy, one of the seven deadly sins, so today I figured I'd draw one of her brothers. Introducing: Gluttony, the Insatiable.




Yup, he's here and more hungry than ever. At first I had him posing with a scythe, but decided that a dinner fork was much more appropriate. Decided to keep this one rough because I liked the energy. Let me know what you think!!

Smile!

So one of the bajillion things I need to practice how to draw are faces. Up until very recently I've usually avoided the face unless it had a snout and rows of spiky teeth. Today I decided to throw myself in the fire.
As subjects I used three of my close friends. After that it wasn't to hard to find inspiration as they are all very supportive of my artwork and lovely people (except after to much tequila, then their amazing)!
I spent around 1 hour per portrait, and learned a bunch of things as I went. Although I believe I managed to snag a bit of a likeness for each of them (woot!) there are still a whole whack of issues that leave me feeling unsatisfied with the outcome.  All and all it was a good learning experience and I look forward to trying it again in the future. Thanks for involuntarily helping girls!

Update

It's been a while! Heres what I've been doing:
and some more life drawing shtuf:
I gotta pump out a monster ounce and a while or I just don't feel right. Don't really have a name for this cute guy, but he was a blast to draw.
