Life Drawing! Final classes for winter semester at Sheridan

Finally feel like I'm starting to find my groove in life drawing, Chiseling FTW. Its a shame its over for the semester and I have to wait until September to sign up for the next session. I'll have to venture into the big city to find some drop in sessions to keep in shape.

Alright, fell a bit behind there with my life drawing posting, but here are selections from classes 4,5, and 6. I feel like I'm getting a much better handle on this, I know I still have a ways to go to awesome, but I feel like I'm moving in the right direction now.

Life Painting, Class #01

Got to my first life painting class on Saturday, and here's my first attempt:

2 hours ish, acrylic on canvas paper.

I think from here on out, I'm going to give water colours a go since I have some interest in them for sketching.I'll try and photograph the pieces with more even lighting in the future...

Life Drawing II, Class#1

As I keep on the road to improving my art skills, this semester I'm taking Life drawing II and Painting II. So I'll keep posting up the exercises. These are all from my first class of Life drawing II. They turned out better then I thought being only the second time Ive done it in ten years or so, but I have a lot of room to improve to get to where I want to be. My main goal is to improve my gestures and get a more natural look to my human characters. Also I want to get a better aesthetic going and proportions and all that.

More sketching, to the ROM once again.

 A lot of misc sketches this week. I did a few environment sketches around town trying to use pencil instead of pen. On top of this I started working on portraits, these are just from Google image search, the main focus for me was getting likeness, and I would like to expand into making the faces feel a lot more soft and pliable.

Lastly, today me and Vic went to the ROM and I got some more sketching done there. I'm finding using the Ebony pencil on top of my HB gives me much nicer contrast, so I'll probably keep that going.

SAMURAI!!

Various sketches from the ROM

More Sketches

 Some more Sketches from the TO Zoo among other places. I am working on more paintings but I'm doing sort of a design pack thing with multiple images, backgrounds, character and machine designs, so that will be a large update, and is also taking some time.
