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.

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...

Peter and the Wolf

Tried drawing some poses from "Peter and the Wolf", using choreography from the ballet I've done of the story for years. I'm hoping to try doing the same thing but with the figures less human-like. Baby steps.

Original sketch dump #03

 A bit of pose drawing and some expressions a bit later. Took some inspiration from the TV show I was half watching simultaneously, to practice capturing the essence of a pose quickly.

Original sketch dump #02

Just experimenting with a bit of squash and stretch in the face.

Original sketch dump #01

Finally some original drawings without any ref pictures. I've only included the ones I didn't think were atrocious, and there are a couple in here I'm really happy with.


I started experimenting a bit with eye shapes, but eventually started doing whole faces and poses as well. This session highlighted how far I still am from where I want to be, since these expressions still weren't coming to me all that naturally. Need to keep practicing and get out and find more inspiration especially!! I definitely to broaden my range of what I draw too.


One step at a time!
