Sketch a Day: Days 15-30

Here are the next and final sketches. Some better, some worse, some outright ugly. But the good news is that it can only get better!
Sketch a Day: Days 7-14

Here’s last week’s batch of sketches. Some are better, some worse. Final conclusion is, that I should just practice more.

Ok, panthers usually aren’t that ugly, but it’s a start, right? Actually I start to like this drawing/sketching thing more and more. I just have to practice to get anything that might resemble a good result.

A magnificent bird in a not so magnificent drawing.
Sketch a Day: Day 3 (and bit of Zippo shading)

Today’s sketch gave me also fits. Just couldn’t get it right.
Maybe some of you recognize from which photo this model is taken from? There were 4 of them… Anyways, I think I will take a little break from full figure drawing and try out something else. Maybe just hands. These don’t come easily either (what does?).
But on another note. One Zippo engraving is starting to take a shape. Today I managed to start shading. Here’s a bit of it.
Sketch a Day: Day 1
Posted by Viljo Marrandi in Art, Drawing on January 27, 2009
I came up with a weird idea – make one sketch every day for next 30 days. Sketches will be studies of human figure and animals. Mostly human figure. I will post all my tries here, so in the next 30 days I will post at least one post per day.
Main goal is of course to learn to draw, so when someone wants an engraving about anything besides floral scrollwork I can do it. If you can’t draw it, you can’t engrave it.
Many human figure studies will be made from Pose Maniacs site. This site has about 19000 different poses for the exact purpose of learning human figure. Visible musculature and no hair. Perfect.
Here’s today’s sketch.
I hope that after 30 days there’s some improvement…
