Sketches from a while back

#1 20-05-2011, 08:08 PM

A little while ago I had enough time to make some art -- I decided to do studies to improve my technique, but that was as far as I got before life intervened... I hope to do more soon, and do something with all this technique rather than more studies, but here they are anyway. Maybe knowing they are here will spur me to find the time...

... that's about it really, unless I find more later...

Wow! You are good!
I'll bet you like to learn about things that you draw. Like study why a rock looks like it does as part of the project of drawing it...........

With rocks no, but as you can see, with bodies yes!

It dovetails with meditation as well. You recall that conversation we had about chi penetrating your anatomy, and you can learn to feel/"see" all these structures internally.

Have you seen this? Makes that process a lot easier....

EDIT: How come no WhiteShaman thread in this forum?

Blimey - these are really good.

What is your medium for the rocks/pebbles? I adore the second one - very grey but the light hitting the top of the rock is incredible. Bravo!

You are like DaVinci.........he is my hero. i like to learn about things that I draw......especially rocks!

I don't have an art thread.......I don't know why. Can I share a quick one here?
Hope you don't mind, I'll only post one.
I gotta run soon........this is a portrait I did of my deceased brother.

@Squatchit -- thankyou... I almost wish you hadn't said that, because it means I should try to work on it more... medium always = pure watercolours.

@WhiteShaman that's really great! It's time for you to make your own thread. Come on, seriously.

As for Da Vinci, ok... I didn't actually get those muscles from a corpse I dug up you know that? :)

Da Vinci was the real thing.

If you don't start your own art thread in the next few days, I'll come round and beat you over the head with my walking stick!!

Would love to see your work.

Have a great day/evening.

They're all really nicely done. I've always been drawn to pencil/charcoal drawings and esp portraits which I used to be excellent at in my late teens early 20's. So many great artists here at SF~*
