Hey! I finally got some better pictures of the two last drawings I did before the end of this semester. So without further ado…

Finished second cast:

Animated process:

Finished figure drawing:

edit: Forgot that i had two illustrations I did a while ago..

Heres some cover art for the awesome game GLORG made by my awesome friend Bengan, http://www.grapefrukt.com, ill be sure to post a link to the game once it’s finished, its reeeally cool!

I also did  an illustration for my two friends Per & Jenny. They needed some art for their travel blog, http://www.unattended.se

Heyo, here are two charcoal drawings I’m working on at school. They are not finished yet but will be by the end of may. Can’t wait, been working on them for a long time.

Anyways, heres a little sneak preview, ill post the finished drawings sooon! And sorry for the crappy quality, i’ll be sure to use a real camera once they’re finished.

Here’s some of the stuff i’ve been doing lately at the Atelier. I finished my third and final pencil bargue drawing and started doing one in charcoal this week.

Finished third bargue, the belvedere torso.

Some bargue figures, these are pretty fast, like 0,5 – 1,5h and they don’t have to be as accurate as the other bargue copies i’ve been doing.

And some life drawings, not too proud about them but atleast I can look back on them when I get better

.. 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

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

And this is the “finished” one:
