New Star Wars sketch

This was a quick sketch for a fan that I did Sunday. Hope he likes it.

Another unfinished (very unfinished) painting

This could be cool, if I push the mood. May take license and make the hair black and push the Asian theme with the mini Kimono. Don't ...

Back on Monday

Gonna try and stretch the last couple out so I'm taking the weekend off.

Erin, where have you gone?

One of the problems with the field of life drawing (at least around these here parts) is that models come and go. When you find one you rea...

Happy Thanksgiving

May everyone have a safe and memorable holiday with family and/or friends.

Pretty well done

I like the loose manner of the paint application and the very impressionistic background (I truly hate painting backgrounds) and chair. A b...

Another unfinished painting

I suppose I should just view these as practice, which is what they were. I don't know why I think everything I start should be a finish...

My Wyeth

This one would be my Andrew Wyeth "Helga" painting if I ever get it done. Love the shapes and the weight of the figure in this on...

Projects

Forgive me if some or all of these have been posted before... The following paintings for the next few days are projects that were begun in...

Nothing till the weekend...

sorry.

Faceless

I was so wrapped up in this pose that I just didn't get to the face. I really love some of the stuff I did here, especially the right f...

relaxed

A distorted angle to begin with made all the more "dynamic" by the fact that I was seated and not standing for this drawing. I th...

Okay, back to the drawings

I guess I am going to have to do something in lieu of the session drawings. Hmmmm, since I'm up so early these days why not DRAW!!!! S...

Taking the weekend off

Gotta stretch out those last couple of drawings, donchaknow?

airball

This missed the mark. Not sure why because the basics are solid. I've always had difficulties with this particular pose, the face eith...

Great pose

And the execution wasn't too bad. Again, exploring the lines with minimal shading. I am kind of enjoying that. Maybe this will turn i...

Pretty pleased with this one

I think this one may be as close to a finish as I've gotten in some time. Simple line work, finished face, the lost edges I so love to ...

Lot's o hair

Sara gives us a lot of different looks. I really like the way her hair frames the drawing in this and some ensuing sketches. However, in t...

Better...

although I seem to have fallen back on my "headless" figure again. This time I can blame it on running out of paper. Hmmm, that ...

Regrets

I allow my emotional state to affect me far too much for my own good. As this was the last session for a long while I was very much wanti...

The other gesture

I was called away to start the session so I only was able to sit in on three gesture poses. I'm stretching this out.

Beginning of the last session for November

I'm going to be stretching the drawings out this time since we will not be meeting again until December 2 due to our room being given ...

Looking ahead

I'm pretty pleased with this one. Although I like the reclining pose from yesterday's post best, this one turned out very well from...

Two fer

I'm happy with both of these although the reclining pose really was my favorite. Something about the lines and shapes and the fluidity ...

Almost happy

There is so much I like about this one that it's unfortunate that I messed up the jawline. She put forth so many great shapes and lines...

Gettin' there

A very nice pose that I just didn't capture well. At least the drawings are headed in the right direction.
