So even though class is over, I'm still drawing. Heres a quick digital.
Life Drawing Final
Just finished up my final piece for life drawing. It's been an enjoyable semester, and I wish life drawing 2 was offered next year. Looking back on progression has been very interesting, of myself and others.
I'm glad that we got to do some longer drawings in the end, along with some facial stuff. Life drawing 2 should be interesting to continue with (given the chance I get to take it). While I'm still no fan of the manikin, I'm glad to have at least seen and worked with it.
With that said, here's my final portfolio, Amy gave me the opportunity to do an alternate final project in lieu of another shell drawing- so I snatched up the opportunity to do more digital stuff.

3D
We are currently working on 3d models in my 3d class (go figure), and I realized I've never played around with Photoshop's 3d paint mode. I took model I've been working on (unfinished, not even textured), and did a quick paintover.
Photoshop's 3D options seem a little limited to me, so I'm not sure on how a refined piece would turn out, but I like how quickly and easily it can turn out basic concepts.

Drawings
Here's a 24 minute drawing followed by some feet.
New Tablet
Gone for a trip this weekend, but got a new tablet!
Just some testing with it, along with some experimenting.
Mid-term life drawing class update

Halfway through the semester I'm still glad I decided to take life drawing. I've enjoyed the class as much as I thought I would. My camera charger cable is currently broken, and I had to use an old borrowed one- hopefully I can find a new charger and get better quality pictures up asap.
The topics covered in class have all aided my drawings and I love seeing the progression of my gestures. I'm trying to really focus on my lines recently, experimenting with different techniques and pencil grips all noticeably changes my line quality. I'm looking forward to the rest of the semester to see additional progress with line and form.
I'm not a big fan of working with the manikin anymore. I understand the importance, and it does help a lot, but the actual book instructions to apply the muscles are so difficult to follow it makes things far more complicated than they should be. Not having the other muscles showing that surround the muscle you are about to apply gives no information to how the muscles relate to each other. It would be great if we had some kind of master-model to examine and check our model against while we worked.

Lost Sketchbook
I've officially lost my sketchbook after looking for it all of Sunday/Monday... until I get a new one I have to use tracing paper. Which actually scans quite nicely as I just found out.

Shapes
No class tomorrow!
Advisement day tomorrow, which means no classes. Good day for drawing! Here's a piece I primarily spent my time on experimenting with, then took to a more finalized concept in the end. Some things worked better than others. Makes me glad I'm getting the time to experiment with this stuff now rather than later.
Life Drawing
Heres a 30 second gesture that I liked, and a longer 20-25 minute study. Getting more comfortable drawing from life again, and I'm starting to want to do some longer drawings in class.
Manikin
Just fixed my camera today, that means pictures!Building the manikin has been more entertaining than I had previously imagined. I was under the impression it was going to be far more tedious than it turned out to be. It really reminded me of following Lego kit instruction booklets, and who doesn't like Lego's? More muscle's later this week.
update
been working on a side project and a lot more traditional stuff lately, here's a quick doodle to tide my digital side over.
Process
I've been getting questions about how I paint. I use multiple sources for reference (color, textures, etc.), but I do not do paint-overs or copy photos.
Below is a step by step render of a painting- Clicking the image should make it bigger.
