My Sketchbook of Slow Growth

[dawnusllaw]

I really need to post more here. And improve my meager skills

[dawnusllaw]

it's been awhile, but here is an update of newer drawings.

Nice anatomy renders ^_^
Really like those fishy-woman

[staticpen]

Hey! Great start here, man. Post more often, please! Also, try linking your drawings from your DA page - they won't get taken down for nudity like a couple of your photobucket uploads here.

[dawnusllaw]

Hey, thanks for stopping in, Static! and thanks for the heads-up about linking, that has been a little frustrating

Edit: Ive tried linking from DA but for some reason it keeps giving me an error...

more posts, from life and two for CHOW

[dawnusllaw]

[dawnusllaw]

CHOW 207 ideas. Really plain right now, eh? Needs more techie toys

Update: slightly different direction - didn't really like the helmet, I may make changes and keep it, but I'm not sure...

[dawnusllaw]

another CHOW. One of these days I'll actually finish one of these >_>

[Boywonda1]

great studies.....hope i can draw girls as good as you some day..

[dawnusllaw]

Boywonda1, thanks! I need to study more, and I wanna get a stylus for digital work one of these days.

A few quickie figure sketches.

At the moment, I think you're doing really well with forms of the female figure. Good sense of coordination and form. No rush getting a stylus, in the meanwhile - It would be nice for you to produce some more tonal sketches, different degrees of light and dark by applying different pressures or type of pencils. So far it looks really clean and soft. Maybe try experimenting around different media such as colour pencils or acrylics etc? It all of this will help when you get started on digital art.

Cheers! keep up the swell work (:

Bleo:

Thanks! I agree no hurry with the stylus (not too much anyway ) and I do need to make more "finished" works with tonal variations. Many of these don't "pop" from the page like I want them to. Definitely something to work on

[dawnusllaw]

Two short poses and one long...Not really happy with the shading on the long pose. Thanks in advance for crits/suggestions Oh, and in case you're wondering, I uploaded these from my camera because the scanner is just not big enough.

[dawnusllaw]

wip for this weeks' chow...

[dawnusllaw]

I feel pretty good about this one, I want to finish it up. That back foot needs to be redone, it's not right! As always, C&C welcome

[seetsy]

your life drawing skills are nice last one is well drawn, keep it up

[dawnusllaw]

I'm totally stuck with this week's CHoW... efforts below.

[dawnusllaw]

Efforts for this week's CHoW. I recently got a Bamboo tablet and have been playing around with it. It's a little frustrating but I'm still getting used to it and trying to figure it out.

[dawnusllaw]

found some mostly older work, some neglected CHoW concepts. Hope you enjoy!

[tronrobot]

[dawnusllaw]

Tronrobot: Thanks! I need to get back to those life drawings, haven't been in a while.

[dawnusllaw]

Update: here's a couple more life drawings and a face from imagination. Hope you enjoy!

[dawnusllaw]
