Martial Arts

Here are some life drawing, mainly gesture poses I've done. Learned some new stuff when doing this, plus it gets a bit confusing when you do a moving sequential... But all in all, good session I guess.

Pretty cool having a martial artist as a model compared to the usual models we get.

Dragunov

Speed painting for fun... Been playing Tekken 6 a lot recently. That game is too addictive!
Really like the new characters, specially Leo.

Been trying to play it online but its just so damn laggy, so been playing with my housemate. She says I cheat if I use combos on her, but she does spam a lot of Alisa's hard hits.

But yeah, that's all for now, just wanted to mess about with photoshop. Took about 1 hour. I did some progress shots, but I don't think there's much point posting it since they're quite big leaps in process...

peace!

Watah Corrors!

Meet Trish, the most boring life model ever. Good for volumes though, haha.

Study of Rubens

Been looking for ways to improve myself. So I did some more artist study that is quite different to how I would shade. It was recommended by one of my tutors. I knew that I wasn't going anywhere with my drawings because I looked through my work from 4 years ago and I saw the same style I had before, but just more refined...

When I was talking to my tutor that time, he said that it was a good thing that I notice my own weakness, because other people don't usually, once they get comfortable with what they have or if they've developed a routine or a style, they tend to stick to it, not knowing that they're stuck in a rut. He also said that I picked the best film to work on, because it suits my style, but it doesn't help me on the life drawing department because it's very graphic.

This just means I have to work harder eh?... Heh... I guess this really is my year of improvement. Need to crack on with some digital painting too. Haven't done that since Uni started...

But yeah, That's all for now.

Night Drawings

Some more drawings from last night... Nothing exciting...

A Levels

Here are some very old image I found in my sketchbook. These were done when I was in college, about 4 years ago? Yeah, I love painting with oils, need to practice them again because I have forgotten how to paint...

Went out to do some more night drawings, nothing much to draw except the road and cars. Got some fairly good results though. Would have done more, but there wasn't anything that interesting to draw really...

Today in life drawing we had a martial arts model posing for us. Quite exciting at first but then got extremely tedious towards the end, and I completely flopped it... They made us do 5 second drawings as our last exercise, and I don't think you'd want to see the result haha. But all in all a good session. Learned something new today, but I think the tutor was giving the same advice to everyone... Will post some up once I get a scan of them.

I also watched a film with my housemates, it was called 'The Descent'... According to people, it was one of the most 'scariest' film they've seen... But I didn't even jump one bit in that film... It just irritated the hell out of me because of the dumb characters. And the stupid monster looks like Voldemort.... So yeah. No. It doesn't even come close to being scary.

That's all for now.

Drawing Light

These were the images produced when me and Nat went out drawing at night.
That was the time I caught a cold... If you remember in my previous post...
