Friday Figure Drawing

There are some things going on in this one that I kind of like. Again, this is a 1.5 hour drawing done from life using charcoal on paper.

More of the same....

I was really tempted to go into photoshop (well, painter actually) and clean up some of the line work on this one, especially on her arm. I mean, what's up with the heavy black lines. I really need to ease up a bit sometimes.... ok... most of the time.

Another one from the archive...

This is a 1.5 hour life-drawing using charcoal on paper.

Yes, I'm still alive...

Here's another figure drawing from a few months ago. I actually have several drawings that are all photographed and ready to post, but I figured that this time I would hang on to them and post one every few weeks rather than all at once. This way I can post on a more regular basis even if I'm being a slacker and not producing anything new for my blog.

Once again this drawing is from the weekly drawing session at Avalanche. It's a 1.5 hour drawing using charcoal on paper and, as always, I could have used more time.

A Small Taste...

Here's a portion of a painting that I started several months ago for the Avalanche Art Blog that I haven't had a chance to finish yet. The theme was 1920's Gangster. Maybe when crunch time here at work is over I'll get around to finishing it. In the meantime, as I sit here waiting for the latest build of our game to download onto my machine, I thought I'd post this little teaser.

By the way... I don't advocate smoking in any form. Smoking is bad for your health, so don't do it kids.

Surprise!!! Another Figure Drawing

I had been putting off posting any new figure drawings because I've been working on a painting that I wanted to post first, but alas, work is really busy right now and I still don't have the painting finished. Maybe at the end of the summer when "crunch time" is over I'll be able to finish the painting. Until then, you'll just have to make due with another figure drawing.

Figure Drawing... Again

I said it would never happen again, yet here we are, another drawing posted on the day it was made. There's some weirdness going on in a few places in this drawing, but on the whole, I'm pretty pleased with the way it turned out. I really would have liked another hour to spend on this drawing... heck, another half-hour probably would have been enough.

Happy Leap Year Everyone!
