Incase it's not obvious.

I got a new graphite kit and I'm having fun with it. Apparently until 5 AM. Here's a nude woman with no proportion.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

In on time

It seems like when I take photos of these drawings, imperfections become magnified. For instance, the jaw doesn't look strange and the right eye doesn't look smaller to me on the actual drawing. Here's another Grade 8 art assignment. I used one of my friend Zeph's facebook photographs as a very loose reference, then imagined what his beautiful bare chest and collar bones look like. Unhhf...

I kneel before SCIENCE!

This drawing was a good exercise to gain a bit more understanding of perspective, proportion, and wrinkles in fabric. Plus, ya know, why me?

I attempted to foreshorten the arms and failed, so it looks as if he has giant arms. It was supposed to look like they are coming forward but whatever!

Remember legs? I remember legs.

Continuing with the LEGS ONLY tradition of this BLOG, here is a leg I drew. I did it from memory so be soft with my feelings and my legs.

EDIT: Made some changes.

LETS GET SERIOUS, FELLAS.

There was nothing more important than learning bone-structure and muscle structure when it came to drawing the human body. That sounds obvious, but until I started to understand the shape of things internally, my stuff was extremely flat and incorrect looking. When understanding why things are given the shape that they are internally, drawings seem to become so much more real and believable.

At this point I can do a pretty good job of looking at something and replicating it roughly onto paper. However, this kind of drawing is really not what I'm interested in. I'm not looking for photo-realistic portraits or amazingly replicated scenery. Drawing anything I can imagine is my ultimate goal in this whole endeavor. I want to be able to picture something in my mind and draw it to paper. Always nice to have hefty goals.

Something that's always been important for me, at least at a subconscious level, is why I am learning/doing something. If I don't know why what I'm doing is important, my heart is never into it. If I don't agree with why it's important, I won't care about it either. Right now I'm having a blast with drawing, and that's reason enough.

I'm sketching.

I've been sketching stuff for the past couple of days. I'll scan them at some point!
