    DAY 23

    Started developing the background on this. Used a mixture of compressed and Nitram charcoal, which may have been a mistake, but I think it’s looking ok.r Cappy phone pic, sorry.

    Thank you! My Art School career was short and not very sweet! I went to Glasgow School of Art in 1999, completed first year, failed second year and dropped out after one term of my repeat year. But I would not have learned much about traditional art there anyway. I then gave up drawing and painting for a little over a decade (I was a huge dumbass back then), did a degree in Neuroscience (don’t ask), worked as a cancer scientist for several years and then returned to art in 2012 or so. I won a summer scholarship at the Florence Academy in 2014, which was amazing, but other than that my learning has been self directed from books, the web, the masters , etc. My lack of comprehensive training has always sapped my confidence and been a great weight hanging on me since I started drawing and painting again and I have never made it work as a career, to the extent that I had almost given up on it again over the last few years. Hence why I’m here! Sorry – you probably weren’t expecting my life story in response to your comment!

    Thank you, dude! I need to prove to myself I can do this kind of figure drawing and that only laziness has previously held me back 😀

    DAY 21

    I started this drawing quite few weeks ago and have been working on it on and off, but it had been long enough since I touched it that I was starting to feel like I was avoiding it a bit. So I spent a little time on it tonight. I think the head migh t be a bit big, but I’m kind of commited now.

    DAY 20 (yesterday)

    Not figure work, but related to the previous post, I want to use soap bubbles as a visual element to tie the portrait together, so I spent the evening practicing rendering some in charcoal and graphite.  Most from reference, a couple from imagination.

    DAY 19

     

    I’ve been asked by a friend to do a drawing of her two kids, and am working from photographs that she has supplied. She doesn;t have a picture of the two of them together, so I’ve been putting together thumbnails placing them together in the frame and trying to fugure out a tonal arrangement that I like.

     

    Any feedback or advice on these would be much appreciated. The boy is seated in a cross legged position and the girl is jumping, and although I’m not trying to place them together in a cohesive space, I feel like it will look awkward to have their legs so close to each other given the difference in their actions. I’m trying to find a satisfying way of  obscuring them or leaving them kind of vague, but I’m not sure any of these are working very well.

    DAY 18

     

    I am doing it all wrong, at least in terms of the brief for week 3 of the digital figure painting course, but I can’t figure out a way to follow the assignment properly in Procreate, so this is my initial block in for the next figure pose.

    DAY 17

    On the road all day today, but managed to knock out this rather clumsy sketch of a hand.

    Also got this as far as I could before the submission deadline. Would have liked another week, but that not how it works!

    DAY 15

    Was chasing my tail with this a bit today, but managed some further refinements, mostly in the legs. I’ve just started head repaint number five (I think) after finally realising that the neck was too long.

    DAY 14

    I’ve been plugging away at my first piece for Iliya’s digitial figure painting course tonight. Starting to get a bit more comfortable with Procreate, or at least finding brushes that I like. My main worry with this at the moment is that the treatment is a little inconsistent from area to area. Hopefully I can unify everything before submission.
