ADG

These little nudies were done at the Art Directors Guild.



For these next two, I started to slow down. Really slooowww down. These are 20 minute poses. I want to sit in on a figure painting workshop at Art Center and draw a 2 hour pose. Then I'll actually finish drawing the whole body.

Saturday

My room on a fine Saturday afternoon:


Adam and Maude acting like lovebirds while we watched Ghostbusters last night:


You stay classy, Internet.


Going out of town for a few days. I'll start updating again later next week.

Kingsley Vision

Why yes, that is a pint.

Happy Lunar New Years!

This is a commission I did for a company in China.





Some proccess:

Morning exercise: Upside down Rubens

For this exercise, I had to look at a Rubens drawing upside down and draw it upside down. This was fun and Rubens is so good!

My Rubens:


His Rubens:

Exercise: Copy of Homer

Here's an exercise I didn't want to do. To start off with, I don't like Winslow Homer's drawing. The only thing I like about his drawing is the girls face, which turned out to be the hardest part.

My Winslow Homer:

Speed Bump

Morning hand, scribbly me and some girls

Negative Space Exercise #2

Well, this turned out like an ad in a 1970's Office Max catalog. It's the chairs fault it's so boring. Though I did like using the toned graphite ground to draw on. It was very forgiving and it's hard to tell how many times I erased my lines. Moving on!

Alisons

Morning, GTA, Girls

Alison's room. I won't apologize for the perspective.



Yesterday, I started playing GTA: The Ballad of Gay Tony. This is Luis Lopez in a cage match. What a violent video game, my lord!


These girls were done at the Art Directors Guild workshop on Tuesdays. I noticed that whenever I start a drawing I begin at the upper left hand corner. No matter if it's a head, body or a landscape I begin whatever is most upper left. I have a few theories on why I do this. One idea is because people who read English begin at the upper left and move right. I might have the same mentality when I begin drawing. Another reason is because I draw with my right hand and want to start on the left so I don't smear my drawing as I go. These are just ideas, I'm no scientist.
For these figure drawings I started drawing in random places. Some I started on the right toes just to be an opposite. I find drawing this way a lot more fun because I'm not using the same approach and making the same mistakes.

Boss Huang from Grand Theft Auto

I beat Chinatown Wars last night.

*Yawn*

Morning doodles

First thing I do in the morning is draw, usually in bed.

Self Portraits

I did these self portraits while vacationing in Baltimore. It was cold and snowing and I still enjoyed myself. Overall these self portraits are failures because they don't look like me :( There are parts in each that resemble my face, but not one really looks like me. In my Moms words "you made your face too fat."









The last one, in watercolor, I did back in California.
