Quick Colour pass - bleh

[JakeB]

So, went to the Schoolism Live Workshop in London this weekend. Pretty sweet. So pumped now. Lots of listening, but one of the classes was by Alex Woo - Storyboard artist for pixar. He did a gesture drawing class, so these are all from that class. Basically different ways of drawing a life model, to get some cool gesture into your work :)






















Then when I got home, I made a sheet so I could carry on doing the gesture excercises. Been using posemaniacs for these :) Makes quite a nice one hour warm up in the morning.






Did some Loomis on the train




Studied some gold. Dead hard.


Did some more loomis


And sketched a crazy old lady today.


That's the lot :).

[JakeB]

Recent stuff. 5 first pages for Sam Carr's Sketchbook challenge.






Study from Yesterday. Having issues with contrast in my BW stuff, so trying to figure out the values in a colour photo, myself.

Rough faces for Merlin


Realised I had no idea what I was doing, did a study...


Then this morning, been working through Stan Prokopenko's videos, learning some facial anatomy/planes. If you haven't seen these already, definitely check them out. Really helping me understand stuff a bit more, rather than just bullshitting everything.


Also, Gestures




And some more Loomis

[mindwrack]

some nice improvement here, you seem to be improving on understanding how forms work three dimensionally well aswell as some good anatomy work,
try to work a little on how lighting hits forms and where it creates soft/hard edges
keep it up!
