Figure Friday - More Daily Pages, plus other stuff...

Figure pages continue, although at a slightly slower pace given all the other things I'm juggling...

...still have one more revision to finish, plus the ongoing TAD homework....

...plus the Klingon-ese that is perspective!

(It takes me two or three tries to get the homework correct, but I do get it. Eventually....)

Figure Friday - Daily Pages...

Not as many pages done this week - the faces take longer, plus I had TAD design homework...

...perspective homework, critique meeting, and art gallery day....

...with cupcakes! :-) (If I get a minute, I'll try to blog about it tomorrow. Was way fun!)

Figure Friday - More Daily Pages....

And more of the awesome Michael Hampton -

This week was all about faces and features...

I threw in some Andrew Loomis and Willy Pogany features as well just for fun...

Here's to more pages next week. :-)

Figure Friday - exercise results...

The daily figure pages continue.

Recently I was given a few revisions and a new piece to do on my last big project. One of the new items was a full figure of a repeat character. My model is 2 years older than she was when we started, so I decided to try to implement what I've been learning and build a figure to match my previous ones from scratch rather than from photo reference...

This is what I ended up with to submit....

(and in daily page news, I has noses and eyeballs!)

Sunday Sketching -

Last night I did the Hampton page on face proportions - 

His breakdown is slightly different from what I've learned in the past, but very easy to remember - therefore, I tried to implement them a bit in my teeny purse Moleskine during my Sunday sketching today (these are pretty much 10  minute heads)... ...

(my practice heads were small - and hence, I found it surprisingly difficult to work larger when drawing from life. Will have to practice *that* now... It made an interesting difference in how I approached the placement of features in these initial attempts. Looking forward to doing more!)

Figure Friday - More Daily Pages...

Still doing the Hampton daily pages...

Starting to get into planes and a bit more detail. :-D Yay.

WIP Wednesday - figure studies...

My daily figure studies from Michael Hampton continue -

Hello gesture and form! These are actually pretty addictive fun. 

Let the fun continue! :-)

Figure Friday -

I'm still doing a page a day of Hampton's figure studies....

...just starting to segue from the basic gesture.....

...to some more structured form to surround it...

 And today, I got to start on landmarks! :-D

This stuff may be very basic to most of you, but I am finding it gratuitously useful.
