A few dodgy rough things I’ve been doing the past couple of days. Trying to loosen up (again). No reference for these. Dont know if I will take them further. I kind of like the one with the head back.
And the bottom right one too.
Will attempt to finish a drawing sometime soon.
Ciao!
Quick late night posting today…..
I just squeezed an entry for ConceptArt.org CHOW this week…the topic was Steampunk Harem. Mixing two conflicting styles. Ripper topic! So many entries. And I bit off WAY more than I could chew! The way I envisioned this was so different. I’ve learnt a lot from this exercise…mostly to plan even the tiniest details from the beginning. I wish I had more time…but I’m thoroughly over this…but I like one of my original sketches, so I might paint that in PS just for play and to see how I go.
Hope you like! Even though I am very MEH about it.
Night!
Mebbe. If your boss objects to a bit of graphite drawn nip. LOL. 
Today’s sketches (haven’t done nearly as much as I should!!) taken from PoseSpace. Took about 10 minutes each. Fun fun. I like drawing curves.
I like the last two the best. Spent a bit more time getting the lines and shadows right. Proportions are okay – except for the girl leaning backwards, I think her front leg is a bit off – knees are hard to draw! They’re just such shapeless lumps – but so crucial to the form of the body.
Wish I could draw from life but with no money to go to life drawing classes and the lack of availability of people to pose for me I guess photos will have to do for now. When my paycheck comes I will be hitting Book Depository (forget Amazon!) for some recommended anatomy books. I like my Dynamic Anatomy book but there’s not enough female figures in there – just lots of beefcake men in contorted poses. Good if I wanted to do comics but not so much of the real core stuff like bone structure etc. Hmm.
Okay. Stuff I *really* need to work on:
Feet.
Hands.
CLOTHING.
Back to it then!
Ciao!
To make up for the time I’ve been gone!
Nothing finished though. Bad I know. So here are some sketches I’ve drawn lately. Lots and lots to work on! Some of these I might flesh out into finished pieces.
Eeee I love this little owl!
This I will definitely turn into something nice. Like the way the face turned out 
Some drawings of my hand. I have long thumbs. Weird huh.
Anyway, I’m trying to sketch every day right now. Try and get better at drawing and not get stuck in a rut. Still at a stage where my hands don’t do what they tell them properly and I can’t draw exactly what I see in my head. Can get extremely frustrating I tell you.
I joined up to ConceptArt.org forums too – there’s so many great artists on there and so many valuable resources. I get majorly inspired looking on there!
Other news – Been getting busy in the garden. YES I have a garden! Well, a courtyard! Put in a couple of little screener plants and got some bamboo stuff to put up on the fence so the neighbours don’t stare at us while we’re sitting outside. Teehee. It’s so nice to have a fairly large outdoor area.
Also been making friends with the neighbourhood cats. There is a gorgeous ginger tom called Mango who I coerced into the yard for a pat. It wasn’t hard – he’s very friendly (and just a little bit fat too) and he ran about rubbing against my legs and being cute.
There is also a fluffy one two doors down who dropped himself in front of the door and rolled around baring his furry belly. But he ran off when I tried to open the door and pat him.
Soon I wont have to harrass other people’s cats cos I will have one of my own! Yay!!!
Well I better be off – make some dinner for the hungry boyfriend. Back to normal posting from now on
