I signed up for a Strathmore Online Workshop with Stephen Cefalo as the instructor. His instructions are very clear and helpful. This first drawing is of Skip, their Viking model. It's not totally terrible, but I can do better. Next time.
I got a little carried away with the wrinkle between his eyebrows. And the Viking hat doesn't seem to be sitting on his head.
These 2 pictures are of a young lady who is special to me. The first one I drew from a photo prior to watching Stephen's video, lesson 2. The second one is from the same photo after watching the video.
There was a flash glare on the photo so it was hard to pick out shadow detail.
This month's sketchbook challenge is the moon and stars so I started drawing a moon goddess today. For some reason she's wearing a bikini and standing with her hands on her hips. The hands are way to small. And the rib cage, what was I thinking!? I don't think the bikini is going to stay.
Hope you're all having fun pursuing creativity.
Neat! Looks like the video helped, there seems to be quite an improvement. I think you're right about the hands. Just say it is "stylized" then it can't be wrong. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Susan. I think it would be great to take a drawing class with live models. As for my Mood Goddess, I already erased her hands. She deserves better.
