Not quite as crazy as the original..

(click the image to see the full sized one)

More Sargent studies, because he is my favorite and I am learning more and more with every one I do. This is the first one in colour. I was pretty hard because the original I was working from is super dark, and it was hard to see his figure without lightening the image a bunch, which kind of blew out a lot of the colours.

More to come! I’m having a lot of fun doing these! Who doesn’t love ol’ John Singer, huh? Fools and liberals, that’s who.

Another cell-phone shot. I’m starting to get the hang of making the pics I take with it not suck ass. On a related note, I am now loving Schmincke soft pastels (which I did this sketch in), which are crazy expensive. I hate having expensive tastes.

Well, I am just plain terrible at updating, aren’t I? Well, it might continue for a while, since I am right smack dab in the middle of mid-term season. Yahoo! I’ve got a few projects on the go at the moment as well, and I hope to be able to post up some work I’ve been doing on them.

I’ve been neglecting my posts, but not my drawing!  These cover the last few days…

Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics, but my scanner doesn’t seem to want to work with the new compy. You know those Apple ads that say you don’t have to install drivers and everything just works? They’re a fucking lie. Jerks.

There is some lame life drawing after the break.

Here’s the second in my one-a-day portraiture practise…

Click-a to enlarge, if you’re into that kind of thing.

It is so nice to finally have a computer that can actually handle Photoshop – I guess the logic board on this thing is a-okay.

Just a couple of studies of works by J.S. Sargent that I whipped up. I need to do a few of these a day in order to improve. That is my new year’s resolution.

Well, my last final project is done. Thank god, now I can rest up and try to get rid of this nagging cough and maybe play a bit of Mario Kart.

I’ve thrown up a few little doodles after the break that I did for the site. I’ve got a few comics I’ve been puttering away on too, I’ll try and post those up this week.

Here’s a crappy cell phone photo of my final project for Arts101, which is Drawing I. It’s about 20×30, done in compressed charcoal and chalk.

Did a few sketches today, but these were the only two I felt like sharing. I guess I was heavily influenced by studying for my Japanese test, because I drew an anime thing (Izumi Konata from Lucky Star, in fact), and a vrey Ghost in the Shell-looking character. Trying to draw a little every day to start the creative juices again. Seems to be working so far, but all I seem to be able to draw are established characters. Hrm.

Here are a couple more life drawings I did today. More compressed charcoal.

One more after the break Read more »

Just a few things from class the last few weeks. Hope to have some time to post some original stuff. Click on them to see a larger version.

There are a couple more after the break.
