Scoobs 1st Life Drawing (big images)

ScoobyDoofus

I suppose technically its not my first life drawing. I did a couple guestures at the Austin ConceptArt.org event.

I didn't want to call this a class either, since there is no instructor. It's an "open studio" where I pay 5$ and sit with other artists painting/drawing a model for 3 hours.

Anyway, please crit away. I know some of you art-school types may chuckle, but we all start somewhere eh? My traditional skills have been neglected for years...

Thats pretty damn good for a first time. I assume you've done other sorts of drawings from life or at least drawings from photos before? It took me a while to have even half way decent proportions on my gestures...

Anyways, good shit

Ye scoob!
you go girl, these are very good for first time, indeed.
Good job

I would post my own first figuer stuff if you want, but if ppl start to go blind here im not responsible.

That model looks ugly as fuck though.

yeah, look real good for a firt time lifedrawing!

The only thing I could crit would be to loosen up and get more rhythm and motion in drawing.

Well damn. My first life drawings are barely recognisable as (partially complete) human figures...

aww, i feel like a proud parent, scoob. i don't think these are bad at all for being some of your first life drawings, as people have said. there's a good consistency between drawings (you can tell its the same subject), and forms seem pretty well developed. keep at it! that sounds like a great price to pay to be able to come in and sketch (compared to what i paid per class in college... grumble grumble). i need to get back to lifedrawing meself!

Thanks guys!

aesir: I've been working as an artist for a few years doing graphic design, and I've always done characters & such, but never any sort of dedicated formalized "studies" like this.
Lots of 3d models & skins & wacom sketches though.

Eli: These were the longer studies, like 10-30 minutes. The guestures I did weren't worth scanning & posting really.

Gauss: You should, ya know, loan me your tablet PC for next week! :P I think I may bring my wacom & laptop, see how that works out.
