This was one of those long sessions... I'm working on longer poses (good couple of hours), trying not to make 'sketchy' marks or think about making a good drawing... but to focus on whats really there..practice this more. Also get a new scanner (this drawing did'nt scan that well).

it's a rare treat when you post but when you do it's usally with something good. i like the drawing a lot man, real solid form. you said that you didn't wanna make sketchy marks. how did you go about drawing the image, did you do a lot of mapping out and then work it up? also did you just wanna make it a line drawing? why not tone as well if your going whats really there,
ReplyDeletegreat drawing man, post more often! :)
The forms not bad, but it could be a lot better. I did'nt really map it out to start with because its usually not that accurate when I do that. I started with one shape at the bottom measured quite a bit and started drawing from the bottom of the page upwards, using that shape to relate everything else afterwards. (WHICH WAS A BIG CHALLENGE FOR ME). You can kinda see that I did'nt map it out cuz I did'nt completely fit the second figure in... by the time I had worked my way upwards from that shape, I realised it had gone off the page. But now I've started using larger paper. You're right Tim, tone is there.. but the only reason I did'nt use tone is im trying to get accurate too. Tone is good at hiding a lot of errors and its easy to become seduced by mark making, marks that are not really there.. so I wanted to make sure my mind was in the right place first. But I have started some tonal studies which I'll put up soon.
