polycounter lvl 20
Just got my scanner out of storage. Here's some sketches i've been doing.
Crits are more than welcome. I'm horrible at anatomy so feel free to point out mistakes. Not sure i will actually go back and change anything, though i will keep it in mind for future sketches.

Good stuff though, keep at it!
It's a good way to learn anatomy, but also flow, porportion, line quality, etc. Most importantly, there's no pressure in a 5-minute sketch, so I find life drawing really calm and relaxing, as well as helpful. There's no comparrison between drawing from real life and drawing from a picture.
I think it could help your motivation a lot because it gets you to draw and learn, but also sorta 'resets' your mind creatively. Or so I find from my own experience.
So if it's possible for your schedule/finacialy, you should definately see if you can find somewhere to go for life drawing!
If you know anyone who wouldn't mind, I know some artists who have friends who actually model for them. You of course wouldn't have to post that stuff, but if you know anyone who's willing, with any amount of clothing they're comfortable with/without, it's a more practical option.
It's just that I strongly believe you can't get from a flat picutre what you can get from real life
You are not as bad as you make it sound when we chat on IM.
Some of those drawings are really nice by the way.
in short. broke up with girlfriend, moved to portland, starting to get back into art. And now on to the new stuff:
really like the last one. first time ive drawn something frome scratch with no real ref and had it turn out that good. has lots of design flaws though. didn't have a good idea of what direction i wanted to go while i was drawing it.
and some silly thing i did in photoshop last night.
no idea why i put brolo on there. was the first thing that came to mind when i was trying to name him.
it's on page 62.
Woo, hope I'm not to sleepy from my flu shot to night so I can attend figure drawing class. Really good stuff, and I like this page to for practice, maybe you already been there? http://www.posemaniacs.com/?pagename=thirtysecond
Good luck with your stuff buddy
Keep it up, mate!
first one is stuff done today. 2nd pic is random stuff i've done recently that i havn't scanned yet.
yesterday and today's sketches. still working through hogarth's drawing heads book. taking me forever to get through it.
and here's some props for a torchlight mod i'm working on. yeah i know, i suck at ze texturing.
Keep up the sketches man. My advice at the moment, odd though it may seem, is to draw something exploding. Studies are nice, but once you've got the skull down, doesn't it just seem like a good idea to blow it up?
That's exactly what i tried to do, but every time i did anything it looked worse than when it was just a flat color.
anyways here's the flat. it's a 256.
Cool eye studies though! I need to do me some more of that..
***update***
Dado: yeah, i got a new sketchbook that's hardbound. Harder to scan but it does seem to protect the pages better.
Here's a new one. Found a great comic book artist named Adrianna Melo. Picked up her latest comic and did this last night.
