So we have been having male models, an experience I haven't had often. One of them, named Ken was...well...not so great. Honestly I want to draw overweight people just to practice it, which he was, but he just wasn't interested in modeling at all! He put no effort into making poses, he even tried to do the same exact poses for the 4 gestures we had. But the other male model is the complete opposite, he is fit and does great poses. And yes, the last few are female haha. Anyway, the first is an oil painting I did for my sister's birthday, she loves cheetahs. Yes, it is painted from a photo off google. I know that is "stealing" but no one is selling the painting and it is for her to enjoy only.
I will upload some more animal drawings soon (:
ooooo kari! thanks so much for all your kind words~!!
ReplyDeleteyour drawings are for real coming together
and i loooove your painting!
i can super see how you've loosened up, and your lines look pretty confident! :}
OH! P.S.! (lol i'm so sorry, always leaving so many comments)
ReplyDeletei just use photoshop to color them in. i scan the drawing as a background, add a new layer, and then set my color blend options to Multiply. :)
and yes, for the gesture drawings the subject moves a LOT. But [personally] i feel like the trick is just to understand how they're moving and why they're moving that way... for me, it'll just end up that you'll fall into those drawings naturally. practicepracticepracticepractice
