portrait 1 - Kirk

 posting this just to post something.  heads are the most challenging things to draw, except for all the other things.  Kirk ahoy!

paintings 1

About 5 hours.  ended up screwing around with the back a lot more than I should have lol, could
have finished this in 3 hours. A lot of things I like with this one.  Learned a huge amount.
I'll scan it when the paint dries.

Both of these are from this week.  A color and a b/w value.  Both probably the best I've done so far.  Good reference for my improvements on the blog from this point on.  

life drawing 2

some 5's.  dude forgot his timer, so I accidentally rendered the head for like 10 minutes.

10 minute lay in on left, 15 minute weird render on the right.

20 minutes from here on.  Probably my best 20 I've done so far.  Clearly I need to do more 20's lol.

Was hard to follow up on the last one!

This was from a session this week. This model has a great body for this sort of drawing- very defined.  Fun night.  Posting this for reference of when I started the blog.  I'm pretty happy with these as well, so it's a good reference point!  

life drawing 1

These are from a month or so ago.  I didn't take any pictures of my longer pose drawings, so I guess I didn't like them lol.  But I'm pretty happy with some of those 4-5 minutes poses!  This guy is a great model.
