i know perspective is off . . . i just think if batman had a choice it would be cat women.

Drew this girl from imagination.. her face is kind of weird, I think, but then again...

Amazing work here, it's much harder than it looks! If anyone could give me a critique or some help, I'd really appreciate it, thanks.

Getting back into doing figure studies. Catching glimpses of nice clear shorthand. Need to work on line quality, also simplification.
It helps to remember that the form concepts always remain the same, just the angle you see them from changes(eg, the head does not completely change from the front to the back views, my mass concept for the cranium, neck, ears etc. is the same, only the relationships in space change.)

Hey,

I love the stuff posted here and I want to get better at drawing from imagination. I post a lot of images here (some of the are rather old), if it's too cluttered tell me, I'll remove the old ones. Here's to a hopefully regular future participation of mine!

Good work i like how you overlap the left shoulder, keep it up!

[L!nK]

Here's my first one here. I think it took some 20 minutes. Ok, I'm slow, I know.
Crits?

Here is a drawing I did from my imagination, the figure is pretty small -just a little over 5" tall.

this thread was inspiration to practice some figures. quickies.

[Stuart DeViva]

Before you start doing figure from the mind, get a good amount of time in studying the figure from reference. It'll help a lot I promise.

hi, I really like those poses! great foreshortening

[dancinfool]

I have to do something in class while I listen to my art history teacher drone on about the Rococo period

[C McElhinney]

Quickly done yesterday,I can instantly see the problems with hind sight -Tensor Fascia Latae etc.....but thats what memory drawing is all about.The leg drawings are A4 the back drawing though in the same note book is A5 scale.

Todays 30mins drawing, again far from right but how else can you learn

[Pfefferminzia]

Sorry to bother, but I didn't want to open a new thread for my tiny question. I'm looking for some good ressource sites faces, like different genders, ages, ethnics...google didn't really help me.
Thanks a lot .

Hi, I was really fascinated with the drawings here so I tried one for myself:



I've been concentrating about the anatomy for over a month now.
I didn't use any guidelines or references for that one so there'll be a lot of mistakes there.
I'm 17 and never went to any life drawing class if that's an excuse

Hello, new member here, I'm eagerly seeking feedback on some figures I've drawn before I move on to trying to design outfits and such.

Like the previous poster, I haven't had the privilege of life drawing lessons before, so I try to study anatomy closely and get as much critique as I can.

the 2nd Image I want to post is a kind of large so I'm linking from somewhere else.

Thanks in advance, I appreciate any feedback!

Good approach regarding studying the figure first, before moving onto costumes and clothing. most people just skip the first part, and go for the instant-gratification.

Look up Michael Hampton's book: www.figuredrawing.info

I really should start posting in this thread again. Quite good at figure construction, but mine tend to be a bit stylized. Time to sink my teeth, and re-engage.

Some of my first attempts at the body without refrence. I'm finding that life drawing is really helping me with these. Any advice would be fantastic. Thanks!

drawn from imagination except for the hands which are from life.

There is always a lot of things to learn from mistakes however the knowlich to find them is more important.
