I've been bogged down with work again so I haven't really had the time to post. Think my day job is finally starting to take a toll on me, I never used to mind what I do but now I'm starting to dread going into work and coming home stressed constantly. I hope it passes as it's starting to affect me working on my art, perhaps I'm just having a bad couple of weeks?
Portrait class
Work from the past 2 weeks from the model. I'm trying to incorporate what I'm learning from the Elvgren studies but I think it's gonna take awhile before it sinks in. I started to render the second drawing but rushed it and it looks terrible. I'm just going to stick to working on my lay ins and making them look as nice as possible.
Both are 1hour 30mins each.
Life Class
Wednesday classes have started again. Same pose for 3 weeks in 3 hour sessions. I was hoping to get a finished drawing done in the first session but the lay in was taking me much longer than I thought. I like how the face came out in the end but the body not so much but I need to work on my anatomy if I want to see any improvement in that regard.
Spent about 2hours 30mins on the lay in and the same on the rendering.
Sketchbook
Been working in my sketchbook more for a change.
An orc from imagination (trying to draw from my imagination more as it's something I need to work on)
Took Fedodika's advice in regards to head quick sketch. These are from Charles Dana Gibson with each head being 1 minute.
Master studies of Elvgren's features
Arm anatomy
Watts Live Streaming
Watts classes started again. I'm signed up to two (20 min fig lay in and head drawing) but I've only done the homework for the figure lay in class so far.
First week was focusing on the big lay-in with an emphasis on using c s i.
