Hiiii!
Not too much to say today. Been busy this week so not much time to draw. Spending too much time reading. Reading my crazy geeky physics book titled The Fabric of the Cosmos by physicist Brian Greene. Yep, I’m that geeky. Well, not geeky enough to know all the equations, but I like reading about quantum uncertainty and superstrings (though I’m not up to that part yet). Hehehehe
Onto the drawings…Just some more fashion-y things. Nothing spectacular.



Not sure I’m making a lot of progress but I’ll keep at it huh. Life drawing starts again Monday so I’m looking forward to that. Apparently we get a male model this time. Teehee.
Bya!

Heeeeya!
ConceptArt buddy Ed lent me some time ago, a book on fashion illustration. It’s an absolutely MASSIVE book with heaps of wicked tips and a really good resource. I only had the chance to start going through it yesterday (slackie) but I can already see the benefit it can have on my drawing. It’s a very technical book going into detail about composition, colour, proportion etc and stressing the importance of practice, practice practice!
So these are the first few sketches I have done from it. Nothing groundbreaking – they are rough copies of sketches in the book but I really need to get that croquis down. I realise I am very very terrible at drawing the hips/pelvis. Always had iss-ues with it.

See…..iss-ues

And some clothes – another tough area. Folds and what-not. Yipes!


So there you have it. I’ll get back to it then! 
Ciao!
