Sartorialist 1

I'm doing some studies from photos by http://www.thesartorialist.com/ . I like that his photos are of normal people in natural poses, and frequently are full-length shots.

I really like this sitting pose...quiet, relaxed, but confident.

I like the way her hair is falling and those huge cuffs on her sleeves.

Things I'm about to NOT be carrying!

"You are carrying" sketch!

What is this? Tweet "inventory" or "i" to @YouAreCarrying and it will give you your inventory! Draw it and tag #iamcarrying. =^_^=

Portrait Sketches

A couple portrait sketches from yesterday...
From photos.
Woman: ~1 hr
Man: ~20 min.

Steampunk Eggs

Yep, steampunk eggs are a thing. These speed sketches were studies for the work I'm currently doing on Havencall!

Character practice 3

More Character Practice

More quick sketches for character practice! These (and the ones from yesterday) took about 15-25 min each. Again, trying to work up from basic lines and shapes. Also trying to make cleaner lines...but I  need a lot more practice on that front.

Figures

Today I was focusing on quick figures to get some practice for character work. I started the second and third figures with a simple line of motion (one curve), and then tried to place the head, ribcage and pelvis in the correct position before fleshing out the figure. It's hard! I have a tendency to want to jump right into the shapes before establishing the correct framework. Must fight that urge!
