Master Quest - Pedro Cardoso - 06-26-2012

hello there!!

First things first. I'm Pedro, i live in Rio, Brazil. I study Design, but i'm really desappointed with its teaching of drawing and painting.

So, i've been kind of teaching myself, looking for information at forums and stuff, for some time now. But about a year ago i met some really great people that are really interested in improving their art and illustrations, giving classes and teaching people like me in the process. Since i go to college, and i have to graduate(will do so in a couple of years) i try to maintain a 5-6 hour drawing at home every day, counting the classes in digital painting and a live figure session at an atelier i attend.

I'm a big fan of Dave's and Dan's work and initiative with this study group, and i'm here to learn and grow as an artist. Also, i'm one of those guys that hugely believe in studying traditional basics to learn art, and then aply the knowlege to digital or whatever.

So here i'll post, above all, studies from bargue drawings, master copies, sketchbook excercises, that kind of stuff. Plus, i'll try to keep it up with my adventures in the digital world too.

sorry for the long text, but i think it will help you to get to know me! we'll talk more as we go. here's the fun stuff!!

Some copies in oils, a cast, a Andrea del Sarto and a wip of a statue(that will proprably never get finished...):








some digital stuff now. a Jaime Jones study in grayscale, a Frazeta, a Peter Paul Rubens aand a viking:

Wow man awesome traditional stuff, well awesome stuff all around...just keep working you already have impressive amounts of skill :)


RE: Master Quest - Pedro Cardoso - 07-01-2012

a mass drawing in oils from yesterday. took about 4 hours in this one. no medium used, just the oils out of the tube. this exercise is from the book The Practice and Science of Drawing, of Harold Speed. i really recommend it.
