Geometry

I've been doing a little study into simplifying people's forms into minimal geometric constructions. Mostly the face to begin with but also the body somewhat. Just playing around with style really.

Baked not fried WIP 1

I'm trying to put together some fun designs to submit to Threadless... these are still very much WIPs but this is some posing I've drawn for one of my ideas. 10 points if you get what this is a pun about.

Profile

New sketchbook, new self-portrait. Here's my first one in profile!

Jessica Rabbit

Ron Swanson

Figure drawing dump #06

Figure drawings - for progress reference. Still have a long way to go.

Hercules

Hercules from the Disney movie. From reference.

Lilo

Disney's Lilo. She was a really fun character to draw (from reference) - interesting stylisation and proportions.

The best boss I ever had

Immobile

It seems it's been more than three months since I last posted anything... time to get back on the wagon methinks. I'll start from where I left off...

These drawings are from a week after I had my appendix spontaneously removed. I was stuck at home for a week pretty much immobilized, and after a solid week of sitting in front of the TV I was all couch potatoed out. This is my best attempt at illustrating how it felt.

Figure drawing dump #05

Most of August I didn't end up drawing much, because I was busy animating my entry for the 11 Second Club competition. So when I finally got back to it after a few weeks of no drawing, I was glad to find I wasn't too rusty. Here's just a page to track my progress.

Chel

Next from Road to El Dorado was Chel; again from model sheets. It was particularly interesting drawing her because her proportions were much more voluptuous than the Disney female characters I've given a go drawing.

Miguel

Watched Road to El Dorado and wanted to draw some of those characters. Started with Miguel, using some model sheets I found.

Flynn Rider

Found some awesome model sheets of Flynn Rider from Tangled, which was a perfect illustration of the anatomy of a stylized character. Probably the best animation reference I've found; wish I could get my hands on this kind of reference for a whole lot more characters! I'll keep searching.

Dipper Pines

So after drawing Mabel Pines I gave Dipper a go as well. Also from some model sheets I found on the web.

Tarantella

I've been working on a dance for a little while, set to tarantella music, about encroaching fear & suffocation. Was struggling a bit to wrap my head around it so I thought I'd draw some poses that I thought represented it well...

Hands #06

Yes. More hands. You're probably sick of looking at them. Thanks for soldiering on :P

Reference was here yet again (it's a really great resource!!).

Mabel Pines

I've started watching Gravity Falls (and I'm loving it!) and came across some model sheets of Mabel & Dipper Pines. I gave drawing Mabel a shot first, and I'm pretty happy with the results (it took a couple of drawings to warm into the style - the top right was my first)

Hands #05

No more explanation required... reference from here again.

Beaker

New sketchbook which means new self-portrait! This is my best impression of a muppet.
