Practice for today

My practice for today, another 12 minute gesture... I had some extra work so I could only take that class...

Superficial bone practice and more gesture...

12 Minute gesture... I missed to copy the ref and paste it here :(

Superficial bone practice, suggested by Zezka :)

Well, I did more excersises today... you see, I'm taking a suggested training that Zezka, a great fella from HF posted to improve in art and drawing, basically, I'm focusing on gesture drawing and a bit of supeficial bone study to take proportions right.

I had some extra work today, so I couldn't take the 1 hour class from pixelovely site, instead I had the 30 minute, and of course, I include the last of the class drawing, the 12 minute... hope looks decent enough LOL...

Got comments or advices? Feel free to do so :)

More gesture drawing and stuff

More practices, to get the hang... I'm including a 30 Minute gesture drawing from This artist trainning site and a life drawing (a simple lamp) to get the hang of light and stuff more deeply..

Also, a reccomended excersise to get rid of symbolic drawing is included in here, drawing something upside down, in this case was a Picasso's Igor Stravinsky... It came out pretty bad LOL...

Drop me your comments, as always ;)

 

I left this upside down because the exercise was supposed to be like that... Looks like crap LOL, I still need practice.

Left: 30 min gesture drawing... pretty sketchy, Right: Life drawing attempt, a lamp...

More scraps...

More practice stuff, I guess my faces are going better... well, may be just me XD...
Drop me your comments :)

Practice drawings... More and more...

Well... I'm trying to go on the wagon of improving myself... It's funny, this was my hobby... now I'm trying to get more serious about it...

So, here are some doodles I'm doing to practice and get the hang of things like construction, gesture drawing, perspective... By now, I am trying to construct with basic shapes, and then fleshen them out... And yes, I know I suck at semi-realistic faces... It's a shame I skipped this part in all time I had drawing, but I guess is never too late to get solid bases to move forward.

I will start doing this somewaht often so I can finally get things like I want them to be, And looking forward to reduce my mistakes to almost zero if possible.

If you have recommendations about books regarding anatomy and such, would be greatly apreciated, by now, I got all Andrew Loomis stuff from Amazon and I'm lookig forward to aplying all techniques he describes (obviously, taking in mind my current styles).

Also, if you got critiques, or guidelines on this set of practice figures, feel free to drop comments, I'm looking for improvement ;)

See ya Guys!!
