Sketches

Good start.
Remember practice makes it perfect, so just keep doing those studies, draw draw draw , and improvement will soon be noticable!

**Yazzman** · June 13th, 2007, 06:33 PM

Thanks Blaz

Trying to do at least two or three hours a day. I'd do more if I had time

Black lady

**Yazzman** · June 15th, 2007, 06:40 PM

A lion... terrible attempt.

**ped454** · June 15th, 2007, 06:55 PM

good start. first things first. when you apply values..try using only 3...highlight,midtone and shadow (white, 50% gray, black) and make sure that when you see black..you draw it black..some people have issues with that lol

if you got time try this site
www.posemaniacs.com/blog
its got great things for lifedrawing

and as for good things about your art. i like your linework. its nice and strong.

nice studies..try to copy masterdrawings..or master paintings..avoid photographs ,they dont teach you squat

, dont worry about anatomy now..is hard to copy those plates..better concentrate on perspective, simple geometric shapes and concepts.. and copy other artists..(you are in the process of asimilating a language) , work from life once in a while but not too much.., i prefer the old masters..keep up the good work

**Yazzman** · June 16th, 2007, 06:11 AM

ped454: Thanks for the feedback, the site is great, I was looking for something like that

the_allejo05: I don't draw from photos except for very rare cases (like the lion in my last post, I've never drawn one before

)... I know I have troubles with perspective but I try to do the anatomy first, once I feel confident in that, I'll go up another level

But thanks for the help, much appreciated

**Yazzman** · June 16th, 2007, 05:57 PM

Just few poses, I was busy today

**Yazzman** · June 17th, 2007, 11:46 AM

The first one looks okay to me, the second is off, any help appreciated

**Yazzman** · June 17th, 2007, 04:24 PM

Another sketches... I tried some perspective on the second one, but I probably shouldn't be lazy and draw cubes to get it right.

**Yazzman** · June 18th, 2007, 05:27 PM

I tried some shading on several previous sketches..

**WARHEAD** · June 18th, 2007, 05:41 PM

Hey, you're starting off well in a good fashion in anatomy, figures etc.....

when doing your whole figure studies 'apply' the bone structure which you've been learning to the actual body..... think how the shoulder blade looks with skin on and light direction etc and I know you'll hear it a lot but keep practising and you will start to improve quickly !

**Yazzman** · June 19th, 2007, 12:21 PM

WARHEAD: oh man, you are so right, I completely forgot about the shoulderblades and all the muscles on back

Thanks for the advice, I'll do better next time

indeed a nice start. You sure are taking anatomy seriously, I like that.
Good bone anatomy and nice perspectives. Keep drawing and posting.

**Yazzman** · June 19th, 2007, 01:12 PM

DeJakhalz: wow, thanks, that's always good to hear, gives me even more enthusiasm for drawing

Here, have a Golden Delicious

Hmm I like the sketchyness in your lines, very nice and vivd. I also like the color you got started going here. I would suggest you add even greater value and contrast to your imagest though. Also take a closer look at the anatomy of your figures, I know you are working on that. I see your anatomy as being one of your main problems here so keep at it!

**Yazzman** · June 19th, 2007, 04:09 PM

Robo Jing: thanks! I'm happy you like my colors, I grew up on dry media (pencil, charcoal) and this whole color painting is somewhat new to me

The anatomy - yeah, I know I should work on that a lot, I'm expecting my copy of Anatomy for artists to arrive next week so I hope it will help me a bit, I have to use an old medicine schoolbook. It's okay, but it has very few pictures

Well, back to work I guess

Bony stuff, hand and foot (hope it's not too big)

**Yazzman** · June 20th, 2007, 04:09 PM

Another boring.... umm, bony stuff

**Yazzman** · June 21st, 2007, 11:45 AM

A skull, obviously

**DeJakhalz** · June 21st, 2007, 01:12 PM

Liking the anatomy! Very clean and clear. Keep it up man! Maybe experiment a little to test your anatomy skills to the fullest!

**Yazzman** · June 21st, 2007, 01:33 PM

DeJakhalz: thanks, you are reading my thoughts, I was just about to do that

Cross your fingers, I hope the skeletons turn out good

**Yazzman** · June 21st, 2007, 02:43 PM

Knees... terrible
