Bus Sketches Feb 20-28

Been really busy, grading and catching up on homework due to several school snow  days pushing up all homework due dates and throwing schedules off.

Bus Sketches Feb 17-19

been continuing to work on capturing images from my imagination and accurately portraying them on paper (more or less) Also picked up more computer science grading work so that is keeping me really busy. That and procrastination and largish projects until the last second. But I always seem to get them done on time with a nice amount of polish so that's good right?

Since I was on a bouncing bus, none of these were from reference.

Poses from Imagination Feb 16

Was trying to draw poses from my head. Half way through I realized I couldn't draw a circle on my tablet... like at all. I kept getting slanted ovals! moved the tablet farther to my drawing hands side, didn't work. Switched ghosting directions, didn't work. Moved the tablet to my lap, didn't work! Was trying to hit a circle, erasing then trying again, and again. kinda lost sight of my goal. Wasted my drawing time for the day on that.

I think If I have time today I will actually get up and act out poses to see if I can capture the feeling of it on digital paper.

Bus Sketches Feb 12-15

So I've been pretty busy with midterms and all. Not a lot of time to draw, but try to fit it in when I can.

The more I practice the more I feel I need to start drawing from imagination a Lot more. My drawings from reference are getting stronger and faster, but my ones from imagination still feel like I haven't internalized any of the structures I look at on the day to day to a sufficient degree to draw without a guiding image. I feel lost when I draw from my head.

Here are some sketches from the bus. Trying to exercise my brain and come up with poses that feel like they could work if I put meat on them.

 i1 was just me trying to remember what the human body looks like. It was early, i just woke up.

Feet studies Feb 10

Saw a foot and was like that's a nice foot, I want to draw me some feet! So here are some feet haha.

Character Mood poses Feb 09

Some mood sketches to explore the attitude of a character of mine.

Also here is an eye painting I did while helping a friend code haha.

Now I need to study for my midterm in 9 hours ^^"

Eye Study Feb 08

SO in my effort to stop avoiding drawing the face I'm working on eyes. I plan to work piece by piece and start putting them one by one together as I get comfortable drawing them.

Figure Sketches Feb 07-08

Trying to get more sketches done a day. With a mix of photo and imagination. I need to start doing heads / faces. I avoid doing them all the time. So If I have some time to sketch more today I'll post up some faces.

A little tough to find the time during midterms though.

Symbols + face doodles Feb 04-05

Bus sketching + Figure Sketching - Feb 03

Yes for some reason bus sketching is a whole other category of sketching. Shits tough, its bumpy,  jerky and cramped. Started doing it in pen to add an exchange skull to the difficulty.

Moar Figure Sketching - Feb 03

So tired X.X  I was going to go to bed, but I have class in a few hours now so I can't go to sleep.

Doodles!

Additional Figure Sketching - Feb 03

Flippen, was sitting in front of the heater getting ready to pass out, when I looked up at my monitor and saw an image. The urge to draw welled up from within me. My plan of having a cycling desktop of images that make me want to draw is backfiring.

Additional Figure Sketching - Feb 02

A few more drawings before I start homework.
I have trouble Identifying planes on the body so I did one reference, and one imagination drawing sort of focusing on that concept.

 

Took a second to looked at the previous posted figure drawing and tweaked it a little.

Figure Sketching - Feb 02

Yet another shot at face / eyes, and more figure drawing.

I got a little to focused on the left eye so it got wonky. Just got to keep at it!

Figure Sketching - Feb 01

Late night celebratory sketching - Jan 31

Just finished my programing homework after passing out from stress yesterday (Jan 30) and waking up to find the teacher gave an time extension. SO I was able to clear up all my code bugs ^^. Hopefully I get a good grade ya?

Anyway after I finished I watched some youtube videos to defrag, and when I could feel my brain again I did a few sketches in pen, it was the closest drawing utensil.

Now for sleep -_-
