quick updates

Tex Avery Wolf

 I felt in the Tex Avery mood, so I decided to copy this classic Tex Avery wolf from one of the early Droopy cartoons. I want to start drawing more of those wolves. ;)

museum head sketchdump

These were just a bunch of head sketches that I took in the Greek department in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Yesterday, this was the first time this summer to visit the museum and draw from statues. :)

Gorillaz sketchdump

Or at least various drawings and poses of some Gorillaz members. Stuff like this helps me get a better hand on character structure. I certainly would love to draw more of this as I progress in my cartooning ability.

figure and head study

So I started my first day of studying under another art teacher whose going to help me learn to draw the human figure over the summer. These sketch studies are actually from one of many books that he loaned to me and I decided to make use of them and looked a bit into them tonight, instead of storyboarding my project. No worries though, I'm going to resume it asap-- probably by sunday.

Anyway, I think that this isn't a bad start at drawing the pose as seen in BH's Dynamic Figure Drawing book early on in chapter 1. However, the arm that's reaching forward is too disproportionate and the muscles look a little uneven.

That's going to be my next challenge-- to know every muscle that the human body contains.
