Study of a bull

This is a study of a bull. It's from a photo I took myself one morning.

A hand-study

A study of a hand done on colored paper. This one was tricky

Study - apple on cloth

This was a study I made in drawing class. The purpose was to study light and shade.

Face-sketch

The purpose of this was to see if I could capture some structure in the face, and also get a decent shading.

Simple spaceship

This is a simple excercise in perspective drawing.

Sketch of head

Just a quick sketch to show that I havn't given up or something.

Perspective practice

As a part of my task to get better at drawing, I decided to do some perspective studying.

Loomis-practice

Since I've been away on vacation a little while, it's been hard to update this blog. I have, however, tried to keep up with my drawing (using the Loomis-pdf's on my iPad as the course material). Here is one result from an evening at a cafe with a cup of tea.

Day 8 and 9: More necks

These are all made with Jack Hamm as the reference.

Day 6 of 1 pic/day: Neck study

Neck study

Today I continued to work through some necks from Bridgeman. One difference from earlier pictures is that I worked a lot larger (that is, I used a larger paper, almost A3 in size). Tomorrow, the studies contunie

1 drawing/ day: Neck study

After some critique of my last drawing, went on to do some neck-studies. Here is one from Bridgeman. I'll continue those the next couple of days

Day 4 of one pic/day: Desert Rose

A picture done inspired by Stings song Desert Rose.

Day 3 of 1 pic/ day: Tree-study

This day, I tried to capture the texture and essence of a tree (something oak-ish, I guess). As I suspected, it wasn't easy, but with some more practice, and most of all studying, I think it'll get easier.

Day 2 - A study of the ocean

This picture was done in Photoshop in one layer, with just some standard brushes. The main focus was to get a feel for how water behaves and looks.

Day 1 of my projekt 1 drawing/ day - Super Librarian

This is a sketch taken from Chris Harts Simplified Anatomy (with some changes). From today and three weeks onward, my ambition is to post one image per day. These images can be of any motif, style or media. The important thing is to keep drawing.

Monkeys vs. Robots

This is a 20 min sketch I did for the cgtalk.com Daily Sketch-thread. The theme was "Monkeys vs Robots"

Robot

Whilst playing a roleplaying game with some friends, I doodled away, and came up with this little robot-design.

An arms race

Yesterday I decided to do a short focus on arms.

Freehand sketch of an RPG-character

Or at least inspired by one. The image is not finished (he needs things like clothes and so), but I thought I'd show it as an abandoned WIP anyway.

Simple anatomy study

This is a simple pencil sketch done from one of Chris Harts drawing books.

Girl eating icecream

Todays drawing is a step away from what I normally do. One of my aims today was to capture the emotion of the original picture, and keep it loose and fast.

Yet another drawing

Tried to focus a bit more on detail. Not sure that was a good idea, next time I will aim for more work on proportions.

Face-drawing

A face-drawing. I used a pic of Christian Bale as a reference.. It doesn't show though ;-)

Drawing from picture

This is an attempt to draw a figure from a picture. Among other things, to practice my ability to observe, and also to bridge the gap between drawing from my mind and drawing from life. I tried to use the same workflow here as I do when drawing from my mind, that is, I start with a centre line, build a skeleton, ribcage etc.

Looking at it, I realise I need lots of practice!

yet another sketch

Sketching to catch movement

This is a sketch I made where I tried to get a sense of movement and tension. Done in photoshop with a wacom board.

An aging face

Trying to age a face, and also a small practise-session with my Wacom-board

A quick, loose sketch

This is a fairly freehand sketch I made, trying to "sculpt" the shape loose lines and circles.

Simple sketch of a superhero

Done during a short break at work

Shot with my iPhone, hence the quality

A cartoonish superheroine

This is a simple attempt at doing a more cartoonish character, that still has a superheroic vibe to her.
