Prestidigitation

All my recent drawings have been: a) comic spoilers, b) spoilers for something else, or c) too small and/or sketchy to be worth posting on their own.

So, since I’ve been wanting to post something, here are several sketches from Category C! Possibly more interesting together than they are separately!

The jumping/floating guy was pose practice.

The big blue head was the first thing I drew after an ElfQuest reading marathon last month. (I’d just found out that the comics are being posted online. My delight was so profound that it could only be expressed as SQUEE. ♥) I think my art style was affected a bit…

Aaand Kiku and The Don were my facial-proportion practice sketches after reading Drawing the Human Head by Burne Hogarth. (Have I mentioned that I love that guy?)

No idea what the Gauth avatar was about. XD

This was an exercise like the one in the previous post, only with a full figure instead of a head. It’s Kiku! And he’s… not wearing anything. (Because I wanted to focus on getting the anatomy right. Yeah… that’s the ticket.) So even though nothing controversial is shown, don’t click on the thumbnails if you don’t want to look at naked Kiku. XD

Sketch!

Sketch Guidelines!

The left sketch is probably the best figure I’ve ever drawn without a reference. (And the one on the right… well, I don’t know what to think of it. But it was fun, and I’m sure it was good practice.) So I’m super happy. ♥

Huzzah for Burne Hogarth!

So, for some reason, I had never heard of Burne Hogarth until about two weeks ago! Astounding, I know. But I stumbled across Dynamic Wrinkles and Drapery and, soon after, Dynamic Figure Drawing, whereupon the thought occurred: “ZOMG I think I have a new hero.”

Anyway, I just tried one of the simpler exercises from the figure drawing book: sketching a face with consistent proportions from several angles. The results?

It has some… peculiarities, but I’m happy with it as a first attempt, and I definitely learned some things from the process of drawing it.

And now! I’m off to renew my library checkouts. I want to keep these books for a while. ♥
