Impossibility Sketch Mashup with the DrawingBoard

I wanted to do another post to the school girl thread over at the illustrationboard because it has become kinda AWEsome. But I also wanted to do some illustration friday theme oritented work.

This will be a combo.

Lena Grove 3?

So i posted my other lena sketch, pin-up, moji whatever on the drawing board and kinda got called out on not drawing hands and feet. It was a half fair comment. So i updated with a new one but she looked too sad. Plus i saw some of the pics from the sketchy session and she wasnt wearing blue at all. Lame. So here is an update to an update to an update.

Life Drawing at MICA

I went to the Baltimore Dr. Sketchy’s a few weeks ago and this week I went back to MICA for a life drawing session. Figure drawing kick i guess. Obsession du jour.

It was funny that I haven’t been back to MICA in years much less a life drawing class and the model turns out to be a guy I’ve drawn a million times (very lanky and a good model). Somethings never change I guess.

More Copics

I want to make sweet love to copics markers today.

This is from a sassy Brigitte Bardot photo.

FYI. Graphite becomes very soluble on absorbent papers.

Copics from My Sketchbook

The paper from my sketch book is soooo much more absorbent.

Playing around with the copics markers i just got.

I think i’ll like them once i get used to the way they apply color.

Copics after the fact. I think this was my favorite sketch of the night. 5min pose i think.

Dr. Sketchy Baltimore – Lena Grove

Tonight I went to the Baltimore Dr. Sketchy for the first time. Its been soo long since I drew from a model like this.

I got a lot of ass poses, good thing, bad thing hmmm?.

I had a great time. The model was really funny and the guy next to me (Diego) was doing some great ink drawings.

I think I prefer the 5-10 minute poses. I think I still have some freshness and a bit of urgency. On the longer poses i think i get a little stale and over shade things blah.

Caterpillars

This weekend I was taken to the wonderful Eric Carle Museum in Massachusetts. Eric Carle might be best know for his childrens books about caterpillars, created with simple but fun paper and paint techniques.

So I was inspired by the furry little worm like creatures. These guys look nothing like Carles’ but maybe I’ll paint them using the same vibrant colors he chose for his images.
