Samurai Character

Man,I learned a lotta stuff from doing this. I keep having a problem with low contrast,color and other stuff. I was also introduced to some principles of character design. Whew, time for more studies.

Stuff from this past week

Here's some selected work from this week. I've been trying learn more about heads and constructing them.

Rendering the nude and family sketches.

Whew! This summer's been passing by. Now I'm starting to wish summer was longer. There's so much information on the figure and 2 months is not nearly enough time to learn it all. So my summer's been alright. I've been working, running, studying anatomy/figure/,drawing, and getting ready for college. I feel a lot more comfortable drawing from life and hope to accelerate at a good pace.

Some Stuff from figure drawing class...

The better gestures I've done this past week. I've been trying to be looser and more accurate with my gestures.

Sketching my brother

Sketching is a heck of a lot easier if you gesture out first.

Heads

Studies. I've also started doing some Bridgman and Hogarth studies these past 2 weeks. Very nice nuggets of information in there.
