This week's life drawing!







This week I was trying a different approach. This class is structured to be untutored and the poses are usually a mix of long and short. Previously, I've drawn messily in conté and then smudged it together for a colorful mess, which while usually looking good, is a lot of fun to explore. This week I wanted to do something more restrained and also something without construction lines. So using a 0.2 fineliner pen, I drew Clare from various angles and tried to get the form and proportions down before blocking in some shadows. I think i need to work on the lines of these shadows though since they leave the figure looking carved or angular. 




Next are some more random sketchbook pages from drawing in the various Clements coffee shops around Belfast! Drawing with a morning coffee is an excellent thing! Also some drawings of various fantasy and not so fantasy weapons, I was playing with designs for more silhouettes for my Oculus Sclera project (Which I will write up and explain in their own posts! If you're interested in worldbuilding, maybe you'll find it interesting?)

I'll be back on thursday, or sooner! With more sketchbookery and mmmmmmaybe print designs! Woohoo!
