Cowboy
The other day I was watching “Unforgiven” and suddenly wanted to draw Clint Eastwood. I was so happy with the result I ended up trying a new program I purchased called Manga Studio. Here’s the orignal drawing: and the practice in Manga Studio:

Life Drawing
It’s been a while since I last posted about life drawing. I feel I’m improving but sometimes it definitely feels like it’s a “one step forward, two steps back type” of process. I’ve gotten more comfortable drawing and capturing the gesture, now I just need to work on tone possibly with colour. 5 minute drawings.…

Life Drawing
There’s only one more session left of life drawing for the year. I like to think I’ve improved quite a bit from when I started life drawing. A long time ago while at art school, I didn’t enjoy life drawing at all. It’s strange that I’m enjoying it so much now! Tonight’s model was Fecility,…

Life Drawing
I see a lot of artwork on the internet and think to myself “How did they get that good?” Recently I tried repainting a doll’s face and failed miserably, and I see people who do paint faces like it’s a second instinct. So what’s the difference? They’ve had lots of practice. First try will never…

I didn’t find this session as successful as other sessions I’ve been to. I’m not sure if I was having an off day or it was the model. This weeks model is 7 months pregnant making her a bit more difficult to draw for me. Maybe it’s because of comics and media but I have…

A teacher in primary school told me once that an eraser should last you a lifetime. I can safely say that teacher has never done life drawing and is wrong. So far I have gone through 2 erasers from use. If you look closely at the drawings you can see where I’m correcting myself regrading…

Life drawing was finally back on. I’ve found that it’s hard to get started after such a long break. In between the months since life drawing I’ve been practising faces and hands. Proportions took a little longer to get right. It’s clear that I need to practice drawing the figure more, maybe with clothing. I’m still…

Life Drawing
It’s been a while since I posted my life drawing sessions. These were actually done in July, but haven’t gotten round to posting them till now. I’ve been using charcoal pencil with bond layout paper. Paper seems to make all the difference on how I draw. Taking notice of other people’s drawings I’m keen to…

Life Drawing
I don’t have a A3 scanner so I’m finding it a bit hard with the weather to take suitable photos of my life drawings. I’ve changed mediums again. I’m now using charcoal pencil and willow charcoal for the construction lines. This sessions model was Nadia and I’ve come to love the difficult poses she’s so…

Keep Drawing
