While studying figure drawing my instructor would have us go to the nearby mall and draw people. Each time we had a challenge to draw people at the food court, draw people walking, draw people on the first floor (fore shortening was the toughest), draw people on the escalators, etc. This is one of the best ways to practice and get some pencil mileage and study figure drawing.
Hey Guys,
I’ve been super inspired by Spencer Nugent’s Sketch-A-Day and I’ve taken it upon myself to do the same thing! So here is the first one I copied some stuff from Burne Hogarths Book “Dynamic Figure Drawing” Used a pilot razor point 2 on trace.
Its been some time since I had to opportunity to post anything up here. So, here are some quick sketches and color studies from my portfolio that I did back in school.
I could say I’ve been busy which is partly true after getting a second job but, for the most part I have been lazy. And, looking at the time I could be spending on doing more creative things, I end up chosing something unproductive and unrewarding. Then I go into a cycle of regret and loathing that I question myself if I even have the passion to create anymore or if I was just looking for that steady job to pay my filthy habits. There are many books that have been read partially or have been unread, many drawings and sketchings that haven’t been finished, and many ideas that haven’t seen the light of day on paper. Perhaps all creative people go through this cycle of aspiration and laziness.
my favorite band in the world, the kidcrash, have posted a new track for their upcoming album “snacks“. their artwork for their past album covers intrigue me. i sketched this while listening to their track “wound eraser” and trying to encompass their past album art by just sketching rand-o stuff. but as you can see it will never have that “artsy” feel to it. D:
kidcrash – “jokes” lp cover art
kidcrash – demo 2006
great movie. would recommend sitting farther back for this one if you get motion sickness.
fyi, i love drawing armoury-type stuff. drew this iconic scene using a papermate pro fit pen on 98 HP printer paper. added some photshop color to give the sketch more pop.
