I’ve been incredibly busy this month, so here’s all of the interesting things I’ve drawn this last month.

Copies out of a book, fun to do on occasion.

Got an hour into this drawing before I realized I was on the back side of the paper, so I moved on to another piece.

Maybe an hour or so from a live model. I have a hard time drawing her.

This one was a couple of hours I believe, from a live model. He's one of my favorites.

A Henry Yan copy. I love his work, but his portraits are always a bit off.

This is probably the best thing I've ever drawn. Another master copy.

Atelier: Week 10

A lot of work left to do on this one

Atelier: Week 9

Scot — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 02:27:21 +0000

30 minutes in the liferoom in pen

20 minutes in pen

4 days of a master copy. Mouth is still too far low, I'll come back to it later

Atelier: Week 8

This was my last portrait of the week. They're starting to look like people.

Decided I wanted to do some figure stuff in pen. The right are copies from a book, left is from life.

It's not so much that it's done, but I'm sick of working on it and it's almost Christmas.

Atelier: Week 7

Scot — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 03:40:47 +0000

We're doing 20 minute portraits the last two weeks of the quarter. Mine are starting to look like people.

I've got probably two or three more hours on this one. Lots of shading to do and a few structural changes

Atelier: Week 6

Scot — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 04:44:08 +0000

We will be on break for Thanksgiving, so drawing will recommence next Monday. Here’s what I did today for good measure.

I'm down to 30 minutes on this one. There's problems with it, but I cut my time in half, so I'll take what I can get.

This took a couple hours. I have to work at a larger scale from now on. Probably give this one away.

Atelier: Week 5

Scot — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 01:29:16 +0000

I'm supposed to only do 20 minute drawings until I'm better at proportions, but I decided to do an hour one on Friday to see what I could accomplish. Feels like I'm taking one step forward and two steps back.

I'm copying busts out of a book because my heads are so bad in the life room. This one turned out OK, next week's should be better.

Atelier: Week 4

Scot — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 02:29:52 +0000

I lucked out by being new, because now I don’t have to do a personal project and get to draw with impunity. Next week I start drawing an X-Wing fighting an origami crane. I’m slightly terrified but it will probably be fun. In the meantime I’m practicing copying other people’s block-ins because I’m really bad at them.

It took 2 hours for me to do this, turns out it should never take longer than 40 minutes =P. I have a long way to go.

The head is still too small, but I'm getting better at that. This model kept turning during the breaks, kept messing up my perspective...

I don't remember how long this one took. Probably longer.

This is the last of the simple still lifes. Never did get very good at them.
