Ok So aside from the mistakes on the face and feet I think I did really good on the shading of the torso.  I feel like I'm getting the hang of shading the contors of the body to make them stand out.  I am still in the habit of making my lines to heavy (need to fix that).  I feel like this could be a really strong sketch if I did it again now that i have looked at it and know my mistakes.

Breaking New Ground

I have a book I got for christmas quiet a few years ago called The Fashion Book that showcases designers, models, and icons for the past 75 years.  It contains great references for poses and thats where I found the picture I did below.  It is Naomi Campbell modeling for Norma Karmali in British Vogue in 1990.  I loved the pose and the ethnic look it had and I hope I captured it well enough.

Best YET!....I think

This pose took me forever!  I probably drew this everyday for a week straight until I got the result I was happy with.  Once again I found myself struggling with proportions with this it was the distance between the ankle and the knee and the knee and the thigh.  The head was also giving me trouble the eye is a bit big and probably in the wrong place but I was so focused on the body I didn't bother with it too much. 

meanwhile at 4 o'clock in the morning

For many reasons I could not sleep last night so I decided to be productive.  I've drawn this character several times before and this is the first time I got it anywhere close to the original.  The top picture is the original and the bottom is my recreation. It is not exact but it is the closest I've gotten to it. 

Female figure.....kinda

I have a file on my computer of references I found online and I really loved the pose this girl was in and soon realized just because I liked it does not mean I can do it.  I am not sure if I am biting off more then I could chew trying to draw full scale figures but I don't feel like I am too far off.

I know just by looking at this I really really need to work on proportions and making my lines a bit more precise.  With a bit more practice hopefully I can fix my mistakes 

Returning to the Drawing Board

 Hey Everyone, Sorry I haven't been posting much lately I guess you could say I am going threw drawers block.  I am just not as motivated as I was to draw and took a small 

vacation.  Now I am back and working on some new stuff I hope to have posted in the next week or so. 

I am putting all my muscle studies to work and trying to put them together to make one 

body.  It didn't turn out quiet as good as I wanted it to but oh well it's not like it's then only one I'll 

draw.  If anyone has any tips please share :D

I feel Proud :D

I finally feel like I drew something well!  I drew the muscles in the leg and
color coated them and I feel like I did a good job on the shading and the
texture of them.  It is one of the rare occasions that I look at something I've
done and feel like I did a good job. 

20 DHC Days 20!

Well this has been interesting, I do think
I can draw a hand now probably not that
well but who said I'd stop here?

I'll always draw, and I'll always be looking
for new ways to improve myself.
For those out their who followed my
journey thanks for being interested.
Now that I've finished hands I think
I'll move onto feet but I'll try to post 5
in a day or something so it is more
interesting to look at. 

20 DHC Days 19

20 DHC Days 11-15

My room mate gave me the idea of 

drawing the alphabet in sign lanuguage 

which was an awesome idea!  The only 

thing is I did them all in one day so these

are the drawings meant for days 11-15

20 DHC Day 8/9

getting a bit ahead of myself I have a lot of

free time lately so I find that all I have been 

wanting to do is draw so don't 

be surprised if I have several posts in one 

day for awhile

20 DHC Day 6

20 DHC Day 4

I know it is early but I had some extra time on 

my hands (PUN) and figured I'd draw the next set

20 DHC Day 3

Nothing like a cup of coffee and a sketch pad 

to start your day :D

20 DHC Day 2

getting there.... I think

20DHC Day 1

SO I decided to start my 20 Day

Hand Challenge Early.  I haven't 

had much to do lately and my last two 

weeks are relatively early and I just

couldn't see the point in waiting any 

more.  So here is day one :D

Flapper Self Portrait

Coffee Cups and C++

There is no denying that C++ is my least 

favorite class of all time.  I may even hate 

it more than math.  Because I dislike it so

my form of entertaining myself today was

seeing how many times I could draw my

coffee cup in 45 minutes. I'm sad to say I 

only got two done and was on my way to

finishing the third by the time class ended. 

the only question is what will I draw in my 

next class?
