The OFFICIAL Nude Figure Life Drawing Thread

[Main Loop]

This is so everyone doesnt have to make their own thread everytime they want to post their work..

FROM LIFE ONLY!

the figure drawing from the mind thread is for the other stuff..

[Main Loop]

any takers?


5 mins each, warm ups

[jarvis2824]

Well drats. I don't get a chance to draw real-life nudes any more. Good gestures and longer studies though...

nice, intern.. looks like the watts training is really kicking in.. start working more in the light side of the form, but still keeping the the overall relationship of light to dark.. not easy, but its the next level for you..

[wesruv]

damn i didn't see this thread before, i posted this on it's own thread but i'm just going to post my stuff up here.



the blues on this beastie didn't reproduce so well, they arent' that bright, darker, more subdued and sit a lot more behind the figure.. but outside of that a pretty good reproduction.

i got another on the way, it's a 2 day, it'll be done tomorrow. posted hopefully tomorrow or wednesday.

MainLoop-Love the energy, gesture and feel of your drawings. real great images. what medium is that conte? charchoal?

Intern-good form and lighting. personally i'd like to see some more contrast and some background or some sort of environment behind the figure. good stuff tho.

[Brall]

I posted these in my sketchbook already, but I think they fit better here.

One hour white on black life drawing

Woops didn't see this thread when I posted my thread a few days ago; I'll just put any life drawing things I make in here from now on.

Love all the things you guys have posted here, they all look great. Hope to get to the level you all are some day, so I'll be back with more!

Anyway, first some quick gestures





5 minute drawings





and a few 20 minute drawings

another pastel female nude. i think i was able to avoid any serious color wonkiness and distortion, thanks to a young female photographer friend o mine.

Crits if you got em!

[figure2]

wesruv,

You have a nice feel for the pastels though I have to say I actually like the vibrant colors in the one you did above.

Scanning a piece that is basically made out of powder must be a trip.

[Autarkis]

I really really like that last piece Wesruv! The colors are so much more controlled, it's just great!

Graphite Swordsman: You've got her likness going on. I just looked at it and I was like, i bet he's from SF and the academy

[Graphite Swordsman]

Autarkis: Haha you guessed it!..im from the academy. You recognized the model eh?

[DavePalumbo]

Some hot work, Main Loop and Intern I likes in particular. I don't get to do life drawing these days much either... gotta do something about that

[|NTeRN]

i should have like 5-10 more up by tomorrow or friday... hey would protraits count too? i have a whole mess that i can put up

[le_fish]

Hey Loop,

Let's get this party started!!!

[wesruv]

thanks for the comments, my teacher said 'i've arrived' on the pastel i just did but i think i agree wtih figure 2, i like the first on a bit better. should have some more soon.

oh and figure 2, i'm taking a pics of them with my kickass camera, i don't think i could fit these in a scanner actually.

OH SNAP! sweet gestures le fish! let's see some more, nudge nudge

[dadamafia]

im liking what i see. when i get a good digicam ill try to get involved somehow.

[redehlert]

le_fish - those are superb gesturals and i'm loving the ink work in the first piece. the others have great line quality - just the right amount.
cheers!

[Autarkis]

True le_fish, those are just beautiful gestures! I'm really inspired

[Main Loop]

haha jim your gestures are gonna conquer cyberspace too.. i wonder if those guys that replied are asian too

[Profil]

Can I post bad ones too?

[le_fish]

wesruv, redehlert, Autarkis - Thanks for the kind words.
Main Loop - Asians? what are you talking about? There is no way I am going to conquer cyberspace. How can someone conquer something that doesn't exist.
