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.

Painting studies!

Heyo!

  Just a bunch of painting studies from my class, all acrylic on canvas board, varying sizes.

Royal Winter Fair 2013!

A whole lot of experimenting with markers this time around. Finished off my gray tone in 1 and a half months and switched to an Ivory coloured sketchpad.

Cool Female Soldier

Within a lot of content these days, women are not well portrayed. So I wanted to design a female soldier that would wear just slightly more than a G-String. I see no reason why they can't look just as cool as the male characters, and frankly all you have to do is google "soldier" to realize they look just as awesome in the same gear.

I had to exert a great deal of self control not to over blend this, I like the result quite a bit, and I'm going to keep going in this direction. I think the painting classes have been paying off a bit.

Sketchbook stuff

Heyo, a couple of sketches from my book, Ive been doing at least a sketch a day on average, and here's two. These were just studies off of Google images.

Grunge Art - attempt 01!

   I started an art club a few weeks ago at work, and the suggested topic this week was to do a study of a component of something. I decided to do an eye. Long story short, I -just heard- of grunge art this week, and I wanted to try it out.---- It. Was. A. Blast.  Can't wait to try more and even start doing it traditionally instead of on the comp.

Finished my Sketchbook

Tons of sketches from my sketch book.
