Inventive Drawing
I'll try to also post some inventive drawing homework I've been doing. It feels pretty weird trying to emulate Chris Sander's style...being that he draws girls in provocative poses and naked. I'm more into drawing action/elegant poses...and I think it shows. Also bambi is hard to draw without knowing deer anatomy ;_;...
Huntington Library
Gah...finally came back home, so exhausted...long day sketching and sweating from all the walking around.
I did close-ups of some jungle plants in the conservatory, which was awesome. Felt like a real rainforest in there. I just realized that when I sketch I tend not to tilt the book so I see my own drawing properly. Hense, the crooked perspective environment drawings. -sigh- gotta learn from my mistakes..that's why I scan them.
So instead of looking amazingly badass, my perspective drawings just look laughable. Probably why I don't like to spend too much time on sketches when I know they won't turn out well. garklgh need to gain more patience.
Arboretum, The Zoo(s), and Nethercutt
So these are some sketches I did before the sketch dump post...just to let you see my progress...in reverse OTL
These were done at the Arboretum...they're all suppose to be "quick" so about 10-15 minutes each. Will taught me how to make certain ones look better...and how to correct my mistakes. Apparently I was the last person there and Will was just about to leave before he saw me and took a look at my ENTIRE sketchbook (;_;...tears of shame) and basically gave me a one on one critique/teaching session for an hour. Yet. I. Am. Still. Awkward. Around. Him. OTL I fail at life. Stayed at the arboretum an hour after closing because of that...
aaaand these were some of the zoo drawings I did before the sketch dump post. ;_;....I will NOT go any further back in the sketchbook, these drawings are bad enough already. For the sake of recording my progress....only these
ah...finally something new, these were some sketches I did today. The Nethercutt Museum was AWESOME. So many cars, so little time. I'm currently working on...finishing. ._. ...I think I'm better at gesture and quick drawings than sitting down an patiently finishing something. I think I'm getting better...yes?
