Some stuff from my sketchbook..

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

I was flipping through my current sketchbook and found some stuff that I that was fun and that I wanted to share. I haven’t shared any traditional stuff for quite a while and I thought some of you might like em.

These are just random doodles and not very refined I guess… I usually draw stuff like this while watching/listening to the TV.. enjoy -.-v

First Bargue drawing done!

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

.. Well my teacher is going to take a final look at it on monday and see if something needs correcting, but should be minor things he said. And since I already picked my next one and taped it to my drawing board I’m calling this one finished :) I did however notice some things when I looked at it now, but I don’t know if they will need to be corrected in order for me to proceed, but if I must, its fine.

And btw, if you guys don’t know what it means to do bargue studies, the objective is to copy the original drawing within fractions of a millimeter, every line, shadow, form etc. should be exactly like in the original. We’re supposed to be a human copy machine using our eyes, and a plumb line (a string attached to a weight) as tools.

It looks like a really simple drawing, but its really hard (for me atleast :) ) to get it exactly like the original. Hell i’ve spent more time on this drawing than I do on most of my character of the week entries :o

Anyway, here is where I was yesterday afternoon. (sorry for the crappy quality, I took the pictures with my phone)

Some new stuff!

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

Well, sorry I haven’t been posting much lately, its been a busy holidays and I just quit my job to pursue art full time. I started studying at www.atelierstockholm.se this monday, and so far its been awesome! Its a shame I also happened to get really sick the weekend before that so I was really struggling the first days. I even had to day a day off yesterday to go to the doctors. But I feel fine now so it’s all good in the hood.

Anyways, the first week has been really fun so far, our first assignment was to do three pieces so they could see where we are at and so we can look back at them and laugh later :)

We drew a three hour study of a cast, a 2 hour portrait and I think it was a two hour full figure study. Our first real assignment was to start doing a bargue study, which is where I am right now.  Its tedious but very addictive and fun. The one I picked is a “simple” silouette, but it’s pretty hard to get it exactly like the original. I’ve spent about 10 hours on it already, hopefully i’ll get it done tomorrow and I’ll post it!

Oh and don’t think I’ll make a post without images! Here’s a few sketches, the androidwoman was done tonight and the other thumbnails are for Team Chow III.
