I thought I'd try doing the timed gesture drawings again, as it's been a while since I've done that (been away from home for close to two weeks, and I was thinking I'd do it once a week minimum). Thought I'd try doing it with clothing too... the first image was of a skeleton dressed as the Grim Reaper... (and I was still working on setting up PS + browser side-by-side) so I missed more than half of my 120 seconds... :/
I'm pretty pleased with some of the later attempts in this picture. But I think I need to go back to nudes/nearly nudes to really get that anatomy practice in, which was really the whole point of this. Some of these would've been awesome (like that ballerina!) though, if I had more than 2 minutes to work on it with the reference.
My eyes also started leaking tears (BRIGHT SCREEN!) on the last 2-3 people... So... had to stop (hooray for end of the canvas I made!).
I don't think I did as well as I did yesterday with the anatomy practice. :/
I was really excited for the second last pose (bottom left)... but it was gone too fast! Same settings as yesterday (120 seconds each).
Also... my first attempts drawing male genitalia.. (so bad!)... I still need a lot of work, obviously. My personal goal is to work on this once a week. I didn't really mean to do it today, too, but I had no ideas, so I shrugged and was like "why not this again?".
Oh well, at least I tried...
Then I wanted to do something fun, so I quickly drew the lynx guy, and coloured him, all in under 15 minutes. *shrugs*
I want to get better at anatomy, so this is my first time doing timed gesture drawing - EVER!
I had each pose set at 120 seconds (2 minutes) but the first one I was futzing about with my windows trying to get the image and Photshop side by side in a way that I could draw, so I wasted at least 20 seconds, if not 30-40. Anyway, right-to-left, top-to-bottom, I did 7 until I "ran out" of digital paper. :D
I did a lot better than I thought I would. YAY! :D
This was using the timed poses at http://www.quickposes.com/gestures/timed
