The Shepherd

Today I sketched a dog.

Magazine Sketches

I'm working on a lot right now, but I don't have much to show you here. So I did a couple of sketches to share with you. Both these sketches were based on pictures in a magazine.

Some More Gestures

Some more gesture sketches from the Schoolism course. The course is almst over now, I'm just waiting for my final review. These sketches are from different lessons, all done with ink on paper.

The last two drawings were based on pictures from the old Gesture Drawing Tool. That site is really great, I always like to wonder who the people on these pictures are, and if they know they're on that site. 

Access All Areas

This little storyboard is part of my final homework assignment from the schoolism gesture course. We had to use the models poses as inspiration for a little storyboard. The poses of this chubby rock fan were all based on the model, who in reality is a slim Asian yoga lady. It was a lot of fun, just like the rest of the course. I'm a bit sad that it's almost over now. (I'm still waiting for my final review)

We were instructed to choose a character to use for this exercise and I had this guy lying around from an early abandoned concept for my graduation project, from back in 2011.

Extrapolation

Some examples of this week's assignment from the Schoolism gesture course I'm doing. This week's lesson was Extrapolation, explained by Alex Woo as: "The process of seeing beyond the surface of what's in front of you."

In my previous post you saw some studies of foxes that were part of the previous homework assignment. This lesson I had to use my chosen animal, the fox, and focus on drawing the model as if he or she was a fox. The big challenge is to keep the original gesture in the drawing without loosing the spirit of a fox, you do not want your drawing to feel like a guy dressed up as a fox.

These are just some of the examples of what I did for this assignment. As you can see I have been using film stills as an inspiration.

Red Fox Studies

Recent homework from the Gesture course on Schoolism. Apart from our usual model drawing assignments, this time we also had to research an animal of choice. We are to study the anatomy of one animal so that we are able to draw it without using reference.

As you might have guessed, I chose a Red Fox for this assignment. This is only a selection of the many sketches I did, both on loose sheets and in my sketchbook. One of the many great things about this course it how much it makes me sketch. I have started a new sketchbook early october -one of those thick old-fashioned a4-sized hardbacks-  and it is already filled halfway through! Mostly with gesture sketches and café drawings done for the gesture course. 

All of these are 100% traditional: ink, (Pentell Pocket Brushpen, Pentell Sign, Pitt Brush Pen) and color pencil on paper.

 

Katow-jo

Watched Anchorman the other night, did this sketch of the bear at the end. (That Schoolism course is ruining me, I can't watch a film without pausing it to sketch interesting poses anymore!)
