indeed it is. thank you for visiting!

enjoy


(Art): Started off with buckets and I planned on moving on to the more complex forms in the pelvis but as you can see with the last page I kind of diverged away from that. I wanted to learn how to draw a head that is looking down and that was how far I got with that. I am going to continue with the pelvis construction (I am still working on cutting out the wedge. like... the half-circle and the wall would change in size with every drawing so I gotta practice a little bit more with that) but I'll save the head angle practice for another time.

I think I got the bucket down a little bit but the main problem I have is keeping the ellipses tilted the same way while I decrease its size. I draw the big ellipse first then I ghost the first ellipse and slowly move downwards on the page while decreasing the width of the original ellipse, then I draw the smaller ellipse. But there are times where the smaller ellipse would be tilted too much, slide to one side... its fucking annoying. Still gonna work on it because I do want to learn how to draw a pelvis. it can make me one of the cool kidz


(Art): Stopped with the heads and went on to gestures and figures. For the whole time, I was trying so hard to combine gestural lines with solid forms and it was... ehh. I do want to experiment with this a little bit more though. 

Also, been readin up on the Hampton's again and I am still inspired by the way he does his gestures. Like, he says to be free with the lines but he still adds form unto his gestures and I find that interesting.



(Art): Annnddd finally, some head sketches from reference.

My family came over so the desktop was occupied and I was limited to just drawing traditionally. I really wanted to work on that Rowlett illustration too. Welp anywho, tomorrow, I am going to primarily focus on Proko's way of constructing a pelvis and doing a greater number of solid form/gestural figure studies than today (and I'll try and make it neater).

(and i forgot to do another study of the dude standing from last post, fuck)
