Here's some stuff I've been doing recently, just some general anatomy.

[Raymond Luk]

Right now, I'm actually focusing on feet, which brings me to a point: Drawing different poses of feet could be helpful, but what can I study to allow me to draw a full foot rotation accurately [guidelines, perspective, no ref]?

[Eugates]

Lovely anatomy studies, especially the color-coded muscles of the legs. I'd like to see more.

[Raymond Luk]

Did more foot sketches today

[Raymond Luk]

Just imagine that, but more, and so I wanted to get away from it and did some picture studies here with references from deviantArt here and here

[Raymond Luk]

Today's work

[Raymond Luk]

Gosh, haven't done anything in aggggess @_@ been doing lotsa life drawing lately, but gotta work a ton on tones and value for sure @_@

[Raymond Luk]

A quick lil perspective test before I draw it on paper

[Raymond Luk]

Tried a mini test plan :0 Not sure how the front view and side views might apply other than to indicate the height ._.

[Heyriel]

Great work on the anatomy studies (I'm jealous of you ability to draw feet :<) and also on the greyscale paintings (though I think the left one could use a lot more darker shadows)

[Spellsword95]

Your anatomy studies are gorgeous, especially shoulder bones. And feet are so damn cool. Keep it up!

Thanks for stopping by in my SB!

[Raymond Luk]

Heh heh thanks you guys, but those are old woorks Definitely gotta work with a wider range of value @_@

Just a lil update, no sketch today , school in 6 hours, and this fever isn't helping me stay awake, so ima retire tonight
These be my roughs for tomorrow's class (2D design. Theme: full moon)


and the bat study accompanying it :0 compliments of deviantart and google for their refs

[Valyavande]

Nice bat studies! Even if I wonder why you cutted one wing off. it's digital, so you can can move around stuff or make the canvas bigger. Missing things looks just strange here. Well, but I like the bat in the upper left corner a lot. There'S some nice brushwork on the left wing =)

[Raymond Luk]

Whoops you're right, It didn't even slip into my mind that I could move it xD Ha hah thank you, i'll do some more in depth studies pretty soon actually

And here's an acrylic painting done today, spent about 6 hours working it up from life. I'm slowly getting a handle on how to blend :0 Subject matter is a squash I think

[Raymond Luk]

Blaaarg been procrastinating and slowly doing homework lately, so here's a selection of 1's, 3's, 5's, and 10/15 min poses from a 6 hour life drawing session :0
Some are good, some are bad, and some are fantastic baby

[Raymond Luk]

[will123will]

Nice anatomy stuff man, keep pushing out those studies

[Raymond Luk]

Hey Will, I'll toss some studies in after homework tonight

For now, here's this! :0 I gotta loosen up on these sketches, too scared of wrecking my art >
Reminds me of Samus

[kiichi]

Thanks for the encouraging words, and I'm loving those figure drawings! Keep at it man!

[Goremageddon]

I love your feet studies..cause I´m awful at doing feet

[Raymond Luk]

@kiichi You too bro!

@Goremageddon Saw your foot study, coming along, but I actually learned most of what I know about feet from nude life drawing Especially in those 5 minute and more poses, try to really observe the details of the hands and feet :0

A quick update: been super lazy lately and procrastinating + wasting time, gotta get back into it and do something... right after I seriously spend time on my homework @_@

[karmazon]

I'm not sure if you have noticed, but you have a strong tendency to enlarge the legs and feet of your figures.

[Raymond Luk]

You're right, I do! :0 Even in life drawing, I definitely gotta pay attention to my scale .0.

[Nerferinn]

You can do it ! great job on the studies! Really kicking me to get on mine again

[AK_Guerrero]

Dropped by to say thanks for all help and encouragement! Your life studies are looking great, and I can see why you support so much practicing and studies.

I have to agree with karmazon on the emphasis of the lower half of the body. They seem a bit thicker/wider than they should be. Besides that, love the details!

[Raymond Luk]

@Nerferinn Go for it!

@G-ro Thanks for dropping by Ha ha, I support it, but I myself am lazy .0. And I agree too! Needa study some anatomy hardcore xD

Here's a little random sketch, coloring a bit more than normal, really need to whip out some studies @_@


Study of a beetle using dA photo interrupted by the need to sleep

[Raymond Luk]

Here's a 20 minute film study I did today :0 Focused too much on the details on johnny's head, and didn't even get around to blurring
So hard to get the color of that railing >..< I see it sorta has a orangish tint but just by colorpicking, it's way too hard, so I had to paint orange over the blue, and get a value from that @_@ Hope I'll be able to see colors better the more I do this
It's Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides xD Got the screen cap from http://screenmusings.org


and some 1 min gestures from yesterday


and 3 mins! :0

[Raymond Luk]

A lil paint study from yesterday :0

[Raymond Luk]

A few more paint studies, so bad at matching colors and stuff .3.
Just not sure how to do this >....< Should I do value studies instead? or just keep sticking to colors? Any tips?
