Just some figures done during figure drawing at the Pod. Catching up on old assignments that feel like busy work...it will be worth it in the end though, I'm sure.

Composition

Another vignette and a composition assignment without the text.

Gotta Lose Those Edges!!

Playing with my new intuos 4. I love it! Another attempt at a vignette, I still don't know if I understand it well. Now that I look at it, her arm is darker than it should be, and the face could be rendered more, but it's kind of at an awkward tilt. I always miss these details when I'm done but catch them about an hour later.

Nupastels - 15 minutes.


I feel like I've lost the wind in my sails a bit, I have so much personal stuff going on it's hard to concentrate on anything. I need to focus and keep my life and career in perspective...having perspective is so hard...and letting go of ego too...I never thought I had such an ego until The Academy, and I still have it, though I'm letting it go piece by painful piece, and now it's starting to feel good, I can see progress and the long, long, oh my gosh such a long journey ahead. Though this piece is too chalky!! :)

Charcoal, working on making a vignette...vignettes are so hard...pushing through.


Nupastels, 20 min.

Nupastels, 15 min.

Nupastels, 25 min. Wider than the model actually is, I have such a bad habit with making people wider, something I'm going to have to overcome...

Nupastels, 18 min.

Still a work in progress, I'm not happy enough with the text on it yet...

TAD and The Academy, mostly works in progress.

TAD figure drawing, took maybe 15 minutes.
