About 2-3 hours I didn't time myself. Should I time myself? :)

Even more steampunk

An assignment for Tom Bancroft's class. Starting in week 4, wish I went to the last 3 classes. I am really looking forward to my first class!

Do you have plans to do more work on one of your speed sketches?
I have noticed that your speed sketches are developing more details so do you have any point of proficiency you are working towards?

I read or heard somewhere of a person who sketches the setting first then works on the main object. Not was not a question, I just thought I would through that out there.

Thanks for the comments Wontobe, I do plan on more speed sketches. My goal with life drawing is to be as good as possible to where it becomes natural & I have a clear understanding of form, anatomy, weight, etc, etc. Soon I am going to be getting life drawing instruction, up until now I have had no life drawing instruction they have been just open classes.

Tonight I have open class life drawing again, I am going to do the setting first like you suggested, I never thought of that and it sounds like a excellent idea. Thank you for that, I will post up my progress as I scan them! I believe it's another costume model, this time a soccer player.

I like the feeling in the strokes. Really made me feel.

Thank you very much! Much more to come!

EDIT: Opps I still have some from 2 weeks ago, I didn't post!

More Steampunk life drawing.

Even Steampunk life drawing.

I see a shift in your work from the first picture to the last. It is like you are changing your approach to how to draw your subject.

I change the way I hold the pencil and try different ways of drawing the subject.

Here are some avatars of Chick n' Slice if anyone wants to use them for your chat programs, forum avatars, profile pics etc. Enjoy!

Last of the Steampunk life drawing. :eek:

Took Wontobe's advice, drew the area first.

This time we had a soccer player model.

More soccer model!

Here is my first Disney Feature Animation scene stacker! Got it for only $15 bucks at Disney's Cast Connection! To me this is priceless, I am so lucky to have found this! Finally I will have some organization! It is amazing to think such artwork from Lion King, Mulan and Lilo & Stitch sat on these shelves.

Now Crackerland, Chick n' Slice and everything else I make will be on these shelves!

Here is the last from that night.

This was a clothed model, and the theme was Steampunk. I felt like I was there for only a few minutes, the 2 hours went by so fast!

More steampunk

Home on the Range study, "the Sheriff".

Started life drawing, been a few weeks! This was a clothed model, and the theme was Steampunk. I felt like I was there for only a few minutes, the 2 hours went by so fast! :( This sunday I might be doing more life drawing, I hope, if I can get out there.
