~POISE Update 02/24/2007~

[Wertle]

I really love the paint study of the dog, the brush strokes lend themselves so well to the windy-atmosphere sort of feel. Are you going to do the final in a similar, loose sort of way?

[poise]

Thanx for the Comments Ben, and Wertle. Ben good eye on the neck being to long. Wertle, I'm going to keep this dog fairly loose, but tighten up some parts like his Jewlery around his neck that I didn't paint in.

Here are some sketches I did over the Holidays, just got back last night.
I hope everyone had a good Break!!

Here is my old pooch, Alex. She's got some stinky ass farts, but I still Love her!



Here are my Parent's Cats.
Top is Chester( he's a little lova at night, but a little brat in the daytime, haha cute)
And bottom is Sadee my sis's cat, had to move to my mom's house because she kept laying on the baby, hehe!
She's a sweet girl, and followed me around just to hang. you can tell she's been around the Block and takes shit from noone.
She has great Tactics when fighting kitty battles with Chester.



My new toned Sketchbook, whoo hoo! love it!
My sister at the Top Breast feeding my nephew, Aiden( I have sooo much more respect for mothers now).
An Eye(haha), a sketch on the plane looking in a magazine, same with the smiley face girl and someguys head. My older sis falling asleep, Aiden again looking cute, and a lady on the plane listening to music.

[loomer]

[Taj]

Good stuff, keep it up!

[wim]

About the last 3 drawings (dog, cat and the one with the babies) is that Conté you used or colored pencils ? I think I'm seeing some kind of sanguine in there, not sure though.

Nice faces by the way, you sure got some skill...

[poise]

Oh and I forgot a Gorilla man I did on the way to California.

Yeah Scott this weekend if your free, going to the Met like usually. I think it's Sat. now instead of Sun. haha! yeah celebs, hehe! if only. I'm glad you like the stinky animals, he he.

Taj: doing my best, thanks for stopping by,

Wim: I am useing Prismacolor pencils. I'm useing different shades of Reds and Browns, so you are right about the Sanguine color.
Thank you for the nice words, !

[maxetormer]

Man! I wanna one of those toned sketchbooks...
it looks like you had a blast doing those, many props for your line weight
and sence of bulk, good plane division, some of the features on the portrait
from the plane magazine, on the right upper corner look a bit unaligned
but its nothing mayor, keep on hitting us with updates!!!

Merry Xmas and happy new year!!

[Diego]

I would love to see more animals and lifedrawings in that paper.
Keep it up.

[Interceptor]

Yo, T. Glad you enjoyed your trip! I t was lonely without you haha

The new sketches are lovely, I especially love the one of chester!!

[vigostar]

Great works Tiff.... You are certainly skilled in drawing animals catagory. Im so jealous of your new sketchbook... Since my last one finished I havent found a new one to draw in.. im going to have to just order them online.. probably order like five so i dont run out anytime soon.. anyways... So whatcha got cooking in the works?? any more cool characters??? hope your holiday was good... im going to try and make it to the met on sat. so I'll see you there...

[marshall.zach]

great drawings, loving your sketchbook. The lions pic is my fav.

[sve]

Hello, poise! What a generous update! Beautiful portraits of people and animals, when you promise it in the title, you deliver . Very warm, homey feeling from these new drawings. Cats, dogs and babies. Very heart melting. I wish some hardcore dudes from the lounge had time to sit and look at this update, maybe some real human feeling will be more obvious in them, instead this nauseous theatrics.
I love those animals sketches, I like this manner, unpretentious and precise, very tasteful. You gave them personality, the Sadee looks like Dominatrix in cat's skin and the Chester is a womaniser to the bones marrow even in his sleep . The doggy has really seen it all, so doesn't have the slightest interest to look. So she doesn't look .
Sketches on the toned paper are great and very different. The most amazing things that the ones made from real life are so much better and have a great volume and weight. That's wonderful, to transfer 3D life on 2D paper and have such a vivid feeling of real life in them, it's showing skills and talent to observe.
Gorilla is great, it's a beautiful as design too, very smooth fluid form.
So thank you very much, great update
Regards, Sveta

[Cinsev]

toned sketchbooks are the goods. i love your animal work. very sensitvely observed.

[bengonzalez]

Hey Tiff nice last few sketches. Especially like the one of your sister falling asleep. looks like she is about to die, babies will do that to you. Hope you have a Happy New Years

[Pixeldragoon]

So.... Cute.... Ungh.

[shyamshriram]

Lots of sweet stuff lovely lines u've there..

[Cloverman]

any body know how to draw flippin' squirrels? gggaaaah!

[Danomight]

Great studies as always Tiffany, the only suggestion I have is to maybe let the values define the faces a bit more and leave out some of the outlines. The cat sketches are great, and the wolf, I really like the way you handle animals and fur. Awesome stuff, have a Happy New Year!

[poise]

maxetormer:thank man, you are right about the face it is a tad off.
Happy new year to you too!
Diego: thanx man. will do!
Julien: hehe! sweet! Aiden is the cutest thing, I love him! I like the monkey also.
Loren: yo! thanx buddy!
Vigo: yeah the toned ones are cool, I'm going to get more also, me thinks. If you check in my Elves WIP thread, I put up the next painting I'm working on, after that is the Jesus painting for my Gramps before he dies, . thanx for the nice words!
Marshall.zach:thank you!
Sve: hahah! I always love your Posts, except in thunderdome when you got mad at me, . My mom'e cats definitley have Charcater, they are so awesome!! thank you Sve for your post I always appreciate them, good or bad,
Cinsev: thank you!!
Ben: funny thing is that wasn't the sis that had the baby, haha but she does look like she is going to die, maybe it was the jetlag, haha! thanx man for stopping by again,
Pixeldragon:
shyamshriram:thank you! I bought them on sale at TProtheroslineQuality.com,
Cloverman:never have drawn squirrels, but I'm sure I can help you, that book that I posted a while back has squirrels in there, check it out!
Danomight: I think that is a really good suggestion Dan I will play with that more, thank you!!

ok back to work,

[Alday.J]

WHAT ? A reply without a pic ? Ho, it gimme the occasion to check your good stuff again, I think ! Plus, I know that you are busy with your current Illo. Keep posting the good stuff T.
Force et Honneur !
J.
[EDIT]: I've just realize that you got my 666th post... Hope you feel special !

[redFIVE]

I see you're still kicking ample amounts of ass. I don't have much to say really other than milk summore out of that toned sketchbook, and that monkey thing is bloody awesome.

Barbara Bradley was your teacher?! Good god no wonder you can draw people so well.

[jermainevl]

I just read your name in the 'underated artists' thread so i thought i'd check you out.
All I can say is that I admire your work here and I hope you continue.
Good work!

[CaptainInsano]

these are all fantastic! i love the line work. 5 stars indeed

[neoknocker]

I love your work. Great kittens.

[strych9ine]

Tiffany, this is a hell of a thread. Beautiful linework... I was really psyched to do a skecth trade with you, thanks again! Looking forward to getting my goddies in the mail.

[Quicksilver]

These sketches are absolutely gorgeous!! The way you convey emotion in your work so moving and heart warming. I especially love the piece with the mother and her baby - you can really see the maternal affection there.

Do you have any tips on drawing people from life without them noticing? I still get really nervous and can't get anything accurate or fluid down.

[anymale]

the ape piece is my fav. a i like the certain mixture between animale / human

[timpaatkins]

Ahh yes, the TIff...
Nice update, The toned paperpage really is tight! And that baby, makes me wanna have a baby! ( with a girl, not me pregnant)
Btw, Im sure Ive replied to this post before, like 2 weeks ago... Hmmm
Yea, NYC is calling, but itll be a coulpe of months still. Im saving as much money as I can right now, so I can spend it on hookers and champagne when I get there.

Cheers tim

[seth1]

Would love to see another update from you! Really like those cat studys! They have so much life and your lines are very energetic!
