Inktober Day 19 (posted late)

by Jman3, October 22nd 2018 © 2018 Jman3

For some reason this didn't post before so I am uploading it again.

Done as part of a 30 minute class.

My current goal is: Better understand human anatomy, so I can render imagined poses

I will use Inktober as a way to getting better at drawing human figure and try to get a more consistent drawing schedule by gaining some skill and therefore more pleasure to continue bettering my artistic abilities.

I missed a 30 minute drawing session yesterday but I spent the time reading some comments I had on previous days. Some of the drawing formats seen should be different compared to days prior, hopefully I can stay consistent with it and build off it. I will draw for a longer period today to make up for missing the day before and do a detailed drawing to make up for the one I should have done on the 15th tomorrow.

I started today with a skull study and torso/leg proportion study per a comment I received. I think the proportion study was quite helpful and made a noticeable difference in todays session. I also made the drawings larger overall instead of trying to keep them smaller. The last three I tried to use my bold pen to get the form of the figure with only a few lines then add some details with my fine ballpoint pen. That technique is still a long way to go for me, definitely need to practice drawing from the shoulder and making long dynamic lines.

Critique is open this time I am curious to see what others think.

Notes for the final drawing:

This time around wasn't as bad as I expected by the silhouette of the torso is not so good. I should have added more curve to the hips instead of keeping the spinal curve so mild. I tried to do some lighter shading to help it pop out a little more but that did not help (last time I tried a darker shading).

Hello again, Jman3. Greatest works on your flow and fluidity of the lines, of the figures above. I believe that the directions of the appendages are all on the rightest of tracks. But I feel that the lines of action and rhythm still need the most work on the caricature end. Why don't you please go for livening up your lines of force with our interactive drawing tutorial here, if you really haven't already, for sure.

First off, you start of the warmups, with a sincerest emphasis on the lines of action with economization, but ends with the longest but most careful studies to give your forms the most punch as possible. For most details, look into please, the Vilppu Drawing Manual. Thank you.
