Life drawings

I figured that, since this is a sketch blog, and I'm doing life drawing sketches in Bua's (sorry, BUA's) class, I should upload a few. I'm really impressed with that class because I feel like I'm actually making progress, which is more than I can say for basically any other drawing class I've ever taken. Hopefully this post will show said progress. If it doesn't...crap. I'll start off with what I was doing a the beginning of the semester and move on up to now. I had a lot of drawings to choose from, and generally just chose the ones that didn't cause Bua to tell me I sucked and sit down with me. None of these are brilliant or, like, really good, but I kind of like them in their own way. If it's got shading, assume it was a longer pose (5-10 minutes), and if it doesn't, it was probably 1-3 minutes.

Sorry about the crappy quality. I had to take pictures because they're too big for my scanner, didn't use flash because it washed out my drawings, and had to up the contrast in Photoshop because the pictures were too dark. I suck at taking pictures.


Here is my first or second set of drawings. They suck.


Some dude.


I was really impressed that I did this one until I remembered that Bua shaded it.


This one was all me. Notice the crappier shading job.


This guy was a great model.


Eh.


These are from tonight.


Sup.


Okay.

Sorry if that was painful; I didn't mean it to be. Anyway, here's to more progress being made.

Are those bottom ones Earl?

Is Earl a shockingly in shape old dude with a beard that makes yours look like a soul patch?

Victor said...

Yes, that would be Earl.

I love that I can actually recognize your models from when I did life drawing. Earl is freaky in shape for being all old and what not.
