Dunn-ish head study

Again, I get a bit of inspiration from a Harvey Dunn drawing I admire so much.  I know it's not as quality but that's not the point....

Tension

Was very happy with the manner in which I used the medium.  broad strokes while framing with some fairly confident line work. 

Gestures of good faith

Another week of drawings begin. To any who read this I am thinking of having this particular model pose for us in a Steve Huston themed ses...

Last two from last week

The head study turned out well, could be changing up to conté or just that I've been in practice with the head study thing.  Whatever th...

Winding down

A couple more from Thursday.  I really like the back pose with the nice twist to the torso.  The seated image could have used some more time...

The stick

Here's the obligatory "stick" figure. One of our artists loves the stick so we accommodate his odd fetish. Actually, the sti...

Head study

I really liked this one.  Even got the right eye drawn in, something I often run out of time on.  I really got into the technique I was usin...

Too cold to come up with a title

Snow everywhere.  Not in the right frame of mind to even write anything intelligent.  Sorry.  Here's the next sketch from the other nigh...

Five minutes

Another too short effort.  This would have been a fun one to finish.

And so we meet again...

Gestures from last night. Not much to tell regarding these, just warm up drawings. Sometimes I wish that the model could hold a few of the...

On the flip side...

we find this.  I really like this one, almost as much as the one I posted Monday.  The line work and the lost edges really appeal to me.  Oh...

Looking a wee bit grey

Rooting around the portfolio I found a single sheet of grey paper.  Note to self, hit the art store today and pick up more paper.  At least ...

Slip sliding away

Unfortunately, the difficulty in holding this particular pose, at least the head portion, was something I didn't take into account when ...

Contemplative

This was probably my favorite drawing of the evening.  I love the angle and all of the folds in the face that this pose created.  My linewor...

The theme continues

Another head study, other end of the page.  This will continue all week.  I really did have fun with these.

First in a series

Because I was so low on paper I had to figure a way to maximize my dwindling supply so I decided to focus on head studies.  This is the firs...

Thanks, Jeff

You saved the day again. Sometimes it is just so frustrating. Anyhow, to anyone who may stop in and check out these little doodles I do(od...

Last drawing of the night

I really wanted this one to come out well. There was a lot to work with but I couldn't decide where to focus. I was getting into the f...

Uh, hmmm

I ran out of time. I got a bit hung up on the right eye and time slipped away before I could get the left eye placed correctly. I knew thi...

Channelling my inner Lipking

Okay, no way will this ever be confused with a Jeremy Lipking drawing but after switching over to a better grade of paper for the second h...

Simple

I really enjoyed the simplicity of this drawing.  Keeping it pretty much linear was hard for me, as I have a tendency to want to shade with ...

Trying to believe

I was having fun with this one.  Trying to adopt the new mantra "Make each stroke count" means that I won't always get a compl...

I got nothing

Just the drawing today.

Return of the Gesture

Small group (4) last night. Most likely due to the fact that it was about zero degrees out by the time we started. Got a late start and I ...

FINALLY

We are back to drawing tonight.  After what feels like a year off we get to draw again.  Tomorrow, new stuff.  So this is the last of the ol...

Craft paper doll

Okay, a little cute with the title but what do you want?  Untitled 384?

The 12th Day of Christmas

I always thought the 12 Days of Christmas culminated on Christmas Day.  Go figure that it would start then and end on my Dad's birthday....

Back to work

It seems as if she is saying, "Woe is me.  The first Monday of the new decade."  Or maybe I'm putting words into her mouth. As...

Nicholas days

This is from the days before we declared ourselves "The Black Hand Group".  Nicholas Gallery was our original home and the Thursda...

A different look

Every once in awhile, I like to try something a little different.  Okay, so I had a couple of pieces of black paper in my portfolio and I ju...

Happy New Year

... now let me go back to sleep.
