Where the F have you been?






I can't believe I haven't posted anything in months! Although I've been virtually non existent in the blogging world, that doesn't mean I've been slacking... well, maybe a little. I haven't been drawing as much as I'd like too, and I've been playing a little too much X box, but I have been working, and continuing with my Tues. night drawing classes. I'll have to wait to post some of the things I've been working on, but for now here are some of my more recent figure drawings. The first two are from last week, and mark a bit of a breakthrough for myself. The bottom drawing is from this weeks session, and although they are not as strong they're still pretty alright. I need to work more at this, especially when it comes to the female form. There are a lot of subtle things going on with some of these female models that trip me up big time. I've been working real hard at changing things up like my approach and letting go of my instincts to make "Pretty Drawings". It seems to be working well, it also helps that the instructor (Stephan Gaffney) is the bomb teacher. I highly recommend taking his class if you haven't already. I think I am on my 4th straight semester. Anyhoo, enjoy more to come soon. Thanks for not giving up on this page.
