Nude figure studies
What have I been doing since my last Steemit post? Hmmm..sketching naked bodies. @kommienezuspadt and I have the night off so we’re utilizing our time wisely. He’s been editing his photos and I’ve been doing some studies.
I’ve combined all three sketches into the video above if you’re able to spare 3 minutes and 37 seconds to watch it. I’ve also been thinking about doing some live drawing that will stream on YouTube. I’m going to let @kommienezuspadt test it out first and if he’s successful with it then I’ll invite you guys to watch me sketch!
I was inspired to do some figure studies a few months ago after seeing some drawings created by @loganarchy. For those of you who don’t know, @loganarchy is a freelance concept artist/illustrator who has been around since August 2016. He’s produced some of my favorite concept art and he’s got loads of tutorials that you can check out.
I expressed my interest in getting better and @loganarchy had recommended a few anatomy books that were helpful for him. He also suggested the site Line of action for reference photos. I had a hard time with the site at first, which was only because I let myself become intimidated. Now I find it extremely helpful and that’s why I’m sharing it with whomever reads this post! I’d say that this is the next best thing to live figure drawing so let’s all practice together!
I’m working hard to get better with my sketch time and get rid of my bashfulness when I’m around other artists. Once my confidence builds then I hope that I can be more successful when I attend the next Dr. Sketchy’s event.
Love how you have combined all the studies in that first image. Lovely as always.
You’re lovely! :D Yeah, that was kinda of a pain to do since I don’t have photoshop. 😅
I think it turned out great whatever you managed to figure out, program wise.
Love the fluidity and sense of motion on these. Great work!
Thanks! I’m glad all the practice is paying off...or maybe it’s my sketching style?
Yess! :D Figure studiesare the best.. grabbing sketchbook :D I go do some! Thank you!
Haha! Yeah, I saw that you did some sketches earlier today! They looked cool as per usual!
Thank you so much ^^
Fantastic stuff. I'm glad you are having fun.
And the studies look really great too.
Thank you and thanks again for recommending that website!
Very good work. Followed.
Thank you!
Interesting. You sketch well. I think you are well on your way of being rid of the bashfulness.
Your video has been blocked by [Merlin] Beggars, must be the background music. Just recently saw a post about life modeling for nude sketching from @sandrina.life, perhaps Lars can give you something live to sketch🤔
What?? Really? 😐 I guess I’ll have to upload it again.
Okay. I uploaded it again. 😒
Worked well, love watching the process as always, how the soft sketch turns to a harder sketch as certainty is found.
Nice! Seem great movement there. Lovely work as always :)
Thanks! I’m just glad that I’m improving.
Great job on those sketches! :D
Thank you!
Great work!
I appreciate the compliment, thank you!
