Figure Study: Barrier

I like doing gestural figure studies because when you are loose you allow yourself to naturally learn proportions. I learned this from one of the best figure artists I know, David Bondar. The following study is in acrylic. It's called Barrier. Enjoy. 

Figure Study- Wirehead

Did a watercolor figure study tonight. I've been slacking on working on basic skills and since I'm looking to explore concept art and graphic novels, doing a figure study would be helpful. From gesture to finish. Enjoy.

A wonderful night for sketching

Last night I was in a particularly inspired mood. I sketched in a group of fellow artists and I find that I feed off the creative energy in the room. We all did some great sketches. Mine were on the...stranger side. Enjoy!

 I was looking at a lot of spinal chord and skeletons lately to help with figure drawing. 

 ...I couldn't tell you honestly. It's just a turtle squid....

 I like drawing tentacles and snakes. Something about really curvy lines appeal to me.

 You gotta watch out for those dream spiders, man.

A fine lady: figure study

What started out as a gestural figure study, turned into one fine lady. It's fun to watch art grow up from one meaning to another.
