Drawing Club: Revolutionary Soldier

Sketches from 10Feb11

Thanks to Mike's comment on a previous post I decided to bring the watercolors back out this session. I ended up having to premix colors in order to speed up the process. So I had gold, dark blue, brown, and skin tone at the ready to quickly lay in color. The top page is almost all watercolor except for the bottom left which is digital, the second page was also colored digitally.

Drawing Club: Princess Leia + Hunchback

Sorry had to double up on the Drawing Club post this week, been busting my butt on a bunch of other projects. I've been very happily swamped. Back to work :]

Drawing Club: Moulin Rouge

I've become spoiled by the colors I added on the past two themes so I wanted to color this one as well. And I even threw in a fun texture.

Drawing Club: True Grit

Sketches from this past Thursday's (13Jan10) theme True Grit - Rooster Cogburn. John Tucker was posing + people were knocking them out of the park left + right. Probably a combination of great theme + a great model.

(If you haven't seen the new Coen brother's version I highly recommend it!)

Drawing Club: Maleficent

First session back at Drawing Club (Jan 6) and man did I miss it over the break. To make the night even better we had the amazing Sara Streeter as Maleficent. So without further ado here are my sketches with a little Photoshop color to bring out the outfits a bit better.

Last post from Gesture Class

Mark's gesture class has been over for a couple weeks now, I miss it! :[
Here are some sketches from the last couple sessions.

(Sorry again for the quality, I'll try and light them better or scan next time)

Basic Figure and Anatomy with Vilppu

Glenn Vilppu's Basic Figure and Anatomy class just wrapped up this past Tuesday over at the Animation Guild. Great class, but what else would you expect from Vilppu. Poses in the class ranged from 2 mins - 1 hour. He does a good amount of demos, either by drawing on a tablet PC which is projected on a screen or traditionally with various media.

I haven't drawn in a classical style for quite some time so it was nice to get back into thinking about the actual anatomy.

(sorry for the odd quality, I had to photograph them)

If Glenn's name doesn't ring a bell you can find out more about him, his classes, and all of the learning materials he offers at

Back to classes!

Sorry for the absence, I have been incredibly busy. Had some new (Amazing!) projects pop up and took a detour to Indiana. That's why there are two weeks missing below.

Started a new round of classes (this time all figurative) at the Animation Guild. Here are the results from Mark McDonnell's Gesture drawing class. I LOVE IT!!! If my memory serves me right these are 2min, 3min, 5min, and possibly 7s(?) We focus on super short poses which makes it really challenging and really fun. Some of the more elaborate ones are poses I really enjoyed and had to take further :]

Week 1:

Week 2:

Week 5:

Whew, one update down. A lot more work to scan/photograph, so more to come!
