Watercolor and construction paper

[endercoskun]

liked the vigilant warrior one and the color on the last one.

the anatomy needs serious work tho. do studies and life drawings as much as u can at this stage. just keep on practising

[Azeira]

decent practice pages. perspecties is always a good exercise to work with. theres not much here, though, so i advise getting some more work up here.

dig the tree frog.

I drew these 2 last year some time.




Colored Photoshop.






These next 3 I drew this summer. The first two from photographs. The last is a still life. I only had a regular 2B pencil.

Just a quick sketch while trying to fall asleep. The cat was an attempt to sketch my cat while she slept but she woke up before I got very far.

Quick golfer sketch. Referenced a Tiger Woods photo.

Animal Studies - 17 Feb 2006

[afgal]

First attempt at an eye study. From The Art of Basic Drawing

[Pixeldragoon]

Looking fairly alright, I'd suggest trying to draw your own eye from a mirror too.... remember drawing from Life is always better than pictures/other drawings.

[schowalye]

these eye studies are showing that you're getting better; far better from the older anatomy studies i must say.
wish to see more...

[afgal]

I am trying to do some serious figure studies between now and March 28th when I start a figure drawing class.

An attempt at Andrew Loomis studies. I think I messed up from the beginning.

[afgal]

[Cup of Joe]

Definite improvement in the Loomis stuff. Keep it up!

[afgal]

Pixeldragoon - will definitely integrate some life drawing. Thanks!

schowalye - I find I do much better when drawing from how to draw samples that are already shaded and blocked in. As opposed to photographs and real life.

Cup of Joe - Thanks man! I find some of his studies to be very confusing. Love your sketchbook too.

Cat gestures.

This is a quicky initial sketch for a Mad Scientist character. He is the main character for a cereal called XperimentOs. The background will be his evil labratory. He needs a lot of work but this is just the rough idea.

[afgal]

I love the Easter Island statues. Those things rock. So I drew them. Also trying out drawing with a pen (Pilot Precise Rolling Ball Pen-Extra Fine). I am pleased with these.
