Artist's Comments

These are from a speed-sketching class I took just over a year ago. I scanned them in this morning for a friend, to help illustrate my description of how I learned to bubble in human figures. It took me so darned long to catch onto this method (I'm an idiot) but once I did, I was hooked. These are random figures from a 200-figures-at-3-minutes-each drawig assignment, some poses taken from live (NAKED) models and some from photos and dvds.

Just uploaded in case anyone else was interested ^^;

Dang... Even quick stuff you're so good.

These would make really great doll-pose bases, if it's okay with you, could I solidify some of the lines and do that? If not, it's no prob, they're just really nice natural poses.

Wow, awesome!

So how exactly do you go about learning that method?

A teacher stands behind you, bearing a large blood-stained mace....

The alternative learning method involves a xerox that I can't find (it wasn't helpful to me anyway). You just make a really quick stick-figure to check your proportions, then flesh it out with solid forms (eg: ribcage, arms, legs, pelvis/butt) as if you were constructing a sort of puppet.

Yeah, I remember my first figure drawings... I couldn't understand them... Looking back, I feel silly too ^^; I mean, it was in high school, but come on people... I should have known better! ^^;

For some reason, it reminds me of "How to Draw the Marvel Way"... ever read that book? :giggle:
