Lesson 4 - First Comparison

Here the matching up of my drawings to Prestons and I think I did pretty good for my first attempt.

I used the guide John K left on his blog with the guide in the Preston Blair book

which was to start of measuring the height of the drawing using the size of the head as a scale.

Then drawing the line of action and adding the shapes. Then afterwards adding the detail.

I'll make some notes on the drawings and then attempt to draw it again

Lesson 4 - Part 2

Continuing with Lesson 4

Heres the next image

Next, to compare these drawings to the actual images

The Old West

Me and my friend were drawing a 'western' theme this week

I was meant to draw landscapes but they came out bad

So I quickly drew this cowboy aswell

Lesson 4 - Part 1

Heres my attempt of drawing the bunny from the Preston Blair book

I think this drawing is more cleaner compared to previous drawings.

Next I'll draw the duck and compare to the actual image for redrawing

Tom Cat

Had a go at constructing Tom using a skeleton method

I don't like it

So Im going onto using line of action and shapes

Some more Bridgman

Still practicing with these figure drawings

Still continuing to do my own drawing based on the Bridgman one next to it

More Bridgman practice

Continuing with the Bridgman stuff

More stuff soon

Bridgman Exercises

Figure Drawing Practice

I've decided to start doing some Bridgman exercises with other stuff that Im doing

What I plan on doing is copying the image in the book then drawing my own version of the same pose next to it

Heres what some examples

Preston Blair

Still continuing with these Preston Blair exercises. John K doesn't cover this page or the skeleton page on his blog but I'm still going to do it anyway.

Anyway heres the next page of images I've drawn, finally moving on from drawing just a characters head.

This will be the last time I draw on both sides of a sheet of paper that I plan on scanning in.

Lesson 3 - Part 4

This was the best that I could do

I was getting frustrated so I left it

Superhero Redesign

Me and my friend decided to give each other a task. It was to pick a superhero in Marvel and Dc and redesign them

I chose DC

Heres a clue....He's a sidekick!

Here is a better view

These are some of the thumbnails I did before drawing the full character

Short Study

A study I did last week that I forgot to post
