Ok to speed stuff up I did 30 mins drawing gesture from photos at 40 seconds each I think i did ok. I found it hard but i picked it up quick as ive done this before it forces you to use fast shapes. I do get frustrated tho that you loose what the drawing looks like & proportion is even harder when you dont have time to think about it, but as usual practice makes perfect or close to it. =0)

Still need to speed up more as I'm spending too much time on each one. Simple shapes more flow.

9993.5

I'm still struggling with what I think & what I see.

Painting Study

Does this add to my 10000 hours? I don't know.
Either way I spent way too long on it for a quickie. It's just a copy from a fram from a trailer called GAIKING. I know there's a tut out there witht the same frame thats why i used it just so i knew where i was going kind of. It's not amazing but it's a start right?

Feel like i took my first step back today these look poo. I'm finding it mostly hard to get my brain to decied weather draw what i think is right compared to what i see. so the result is a mish mash of the two! I also need to spend less time on each one.

More progress I feel today. I've tried to stay away from the details of the face & try to get the figure & perspective right. All these drawings are from photo's so the perspective is already set so it's hard to get the camera perspective right. I do feel it helps me to think more about the figure in a strong perspective tho & forces me to push the perspective to make the figure look like it has alot more depth than it has.

Just one hour today, but i definatly think they're better than yesterdays ones so progress is always a good thing ;0)

Ok I'm back on it I'm fed up with the 3d industry dictateing how i work/live my life so I'm going to give this route another shot since I feel I enjoy it so much more! If you have any help please post i'd love to hear.
So most people of have heard the 10000hrs to be a pro lets start the count down & see if it's true i guess. However this isn't taking into account my life of drawring already so i should really be way ahead but I'm going to start at the begining.

Thanks for tuneing in.

Below is the best of this day not a great start but I'm already remembering some shapes. The hardest part is trying not to copy exactly what I see & get what I want from the gesture. They're all a bit too detailed for gesture too more flow less detail.



The Faces here were just some studies into drawing eyes since I was having problems in the drawings above. I really like the top left one though!

Drawing 03

This was just an eye practice.

Drawing 02

This one was Pink but the face came out twisted.

Drawing 01

I haven't picked up a pencil in a while & me & Mandy (my fiencee) had some spare time so we decided to do a sketch when we felt like it. So here's the first of Dexter from the series Dexter.

Been a while

Been a while I know I have done some drawings I'll put up later things have been up & down with a lot of stress & heart ache but hopefully this year will get better.
This is a scene from Avatar The Last Air bender cartoon it didn't turn out that good but hey it's another pic right?

This ones been going a while since I wasn't too sure if I was happy with the colour's it's another inspired/copy of my buddy Pascal's work the man is a genius with composition & colour, so thanks again mate.

Thurs Paint

Just had to try & match my buddy Pascal Campion's colours & it REALLY wasn't as easy as it looks. Pascal has some great talent in him, & I aim to be one day as inspirational as him. I had to change the composition a bit but I'm glad I did because that makes it more my own.

Fri Paint
