Copy of a hand study by Burne Hogarth in "Drawing Dynamic Hands" in india ink + quill w/ metal nib on watercolor paper. GIMP was used for scan clean up.]]> Tue, 18 Dec 2007 14:04:54 +0000 http://mu.cgsociety.org/gallery/451275

Pencil and paper, done with a mirror, so the features are actually inverted...
Took me some ten to twelve hours all in all.

Closely following the instructions for figure drawing from Tony Ryder's fantastic book I can say that this drawing sort of was a milestone for me and I will do more pencil/paper drawings, but preferrably not with me as a model again...

Bit of postwork was done in Painter IX.5 to clean the scanned image up.]]> Sun, 14 Jan 2007 22:32:17 +0000 http://mu.cgsociety.org/gallery/397087

this one is a mastercopy of a hand study by Da Vinci.

I started out with india ink and pen lines, shaded with watersoluble pencils which I then smeared with a watery brush.

Then I scanned the images of the two hands, combined them in Painter, created a watercolor variant which went well together with what I had already and added a bit of paper structure as well as colour correction to intensify darks.]]> Thu, 24 Aug 2006 14:52:05 +0000 http://mu.cgsociety.org/gallery/379145

My take on one of the references in the Open Figure Drawing Workshop 017 in the Anatomy Forum.

I tried to keep a traditional charcoal drawing feeling by only using two charcoal variants. ]]> Sun, 09 Jul 2006 17:20:29 +0000 http://mu.cgsociety.org/gallery/344647

this started out from imagination and I had to find me reference for facial features and proportions in general.

For the hair I followed Linda's famous tutorial.

There was a massive learning process involved in doing this which can be followed in my anatomy thread starting here:

This greyscale study of a photograph kindly provided by Hong Ly for Rebecca Kimmel's Open Figure Drawing Workshops in the Artistic Anatomy Forum here on CGTalk is the first finished painting that turned out half-decent.

I used Artrage 1.1 for this and a bit of Artweaver for post-processing.]]> Tue, 04 Apr 2006 13:29:51 +0000
