Hello!

Welcome,

and

Thanks for looking!

**isokarhu** · April 7th, 2011, 04:57 PM

Here are drawings from the past year or so. This will be the only post in which I display such old work. Everything after this will be recent.

**isokarhu** · April 7th, 2011, 05:19 PM

Some faces and a nude photo study.
These were done this week

**ayoub66** · April 7th, 2011, 06:08 PM

great skecthbook , love those hand study

good luck

**isokarhu** · April 8th, 2011, 05:14 PM

Thanks ayoub66 =)
Here's another batch of faces I did today. It's funny that the big one in the middle is probably my least favourite.
Most were from imagination, some were loosely based on people at school and on the bus.

**isokarhu** · April 12th, 2011, 03:19 PM

Here are some portraits.
These are photo referenced.
Next I think I'll do some figure/anatomy studies... I'm spending too much time on just faces.

**mrd33ds** · April 27th, 2011, 05:37 PM

good creatures and studies you got goin on bro. keep it up and thanks for the encouraging words

**isokarhu** · May 31st, 2011, 09:42 PM

Thanks mrd33ds.

Apologies for my absence lately, I've been spending a lot of time painting miniatures. That and school/work have kept me from drawing much (excuses excuses, I know).

Anyway, I've started a fairly in-depth study of human anatomy. This is partly for school and partly for artistic purposes. I'm slowly working my way through this anatomy textbook, taking notes and drawing pictures as I go.
I'm starting with the axial skeleton... first of all, the skull

**isokarhu** · June 1st, 2011, 07:30 PM

Next, the spine

**isokarhu** · June 9th, 2011, 02:26 AM

These are studies of live models. The first one is from last week, the second and third are from today. They were all 15 minutes.
(the third is my personal favourite)

**isokarhu** · June 11th, 2011, 01:15 AM

Here's a photo study. I came across a graphite stick so I thought I'd try a toned background. I quite like how it turned out.
This took maybe 1h30min (wasn't really keeping track).

**revenebo** · June 14th, 2011, 08:24 AM

Nice studies man. Keep up!

**isokarhu** · June 27th, 2011, 01:57 AM

Two photo studies... nothing spectacular.
I'm really starting to like these toned backgrounds. Somehow they're less intimidating than a white sheet of paper.

**isokarhu** · June 27th, 2011, 05:58 PM

Something from imagination.. a plane? superman? no, a bird!

**isokarhu** · June 28th, 2011, 06:38 AM

Some hands and a silly doodle. I was using my own hand for reference.

**isokarhu** · July 12th, 2011, 03:41 PM

Here's another photo study. This is my first ever attempt at using charcoal and chalk! I used grey paper and realized pretty quickly that I wasn't fond of the texture and that the other side was much smoother... oh well, now I know for next time. Let me know what you think.

**isokarhu** · July 16th, 2011, 05:34 AM

Some pencil figure studies.

Hm, it just dawned on me that I hardly ever draw men. Perhaps I should draw some men.

**isokarhu** · July 24th, 2011, 01:38 AM

More studies.
Pencil/charcoal

**Mars.** · July 24th, 2011, 03:08 AM

Wow nice stuff. I laughed when you said nothing spectacular, it's amazing to me.

**Elophant** · July 24th, 2011, 03:50 AM

You are improving amazingly fast ... i just can imagine how good you will become during the next years .. keep it up!

**mandalamaker** · July 24th, 2011, 04:51 AM

I really liked the portrait.It's good.

**isokarhu** · July 26th, 2011, 07:21 PM

Ok, back to anatomy. I intend to finish all the bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments eventually! Needless to say, I still have a long way to go...
But here's the rib cage

**isokarhu** · July 28th, 2011, 01:18 AM

Today's life drawings.
The first three were 5 or 10 minutes (can't remember which was which) and the last was 15 minutes. I'll admit it, I touched up the face on the last one when I got home... not so sure that it did any good.

**kidult** · July 28th, 2011, 02:05 AM

Just keep doing what you're doing! These continuos studies will pay off big time!

**Gspree** · July 28th, 2011, 06:50 AM

nice work....keep it up...the creature in the third image is hilarious

**isokarhu** · July 29th, 2011, 04:30 AM

Today's not-so-serious drawings from imagination. If these taught me anything, it's that I still have a lot to learn.
Some profile practice and a dude jamming with a boombox (I was listening to rap, heh). The most glaring problem with him is the way his shirt folds.. I need to study fabrics big time.

**isokarhu** · July 30th, 2011, 08:16 PM

RHINOCEROS!!!

...

charcoal/chalk on brown paper
photo referenced (obviously)

**QueenWorm** · July 31st, 2011, 01:18 AM

good studies!! I think you can try adding more values inti your pencil drawing. The Last post is great!

**isokarhu** · August 4th, 2011, 01:23 AM

Today's life drawings! This was the last class of the semester.. no more until September

In order, the time taken for these was:

5, 10, 10, 15 (minutes)

**isokarhu** · August 24th, 2011, 05:22 AM
