Certain times, you may be over critical of your work, or in the middle of a rut because your going through a period of growth. Its one of those things that is hard for an artist to see for themselves until they get through it. However, I don't think I am the only one who has noticed the increasing skill evident in each drawing.

While photo reference is helpful it's my two cents that drawing directly from life is best. You don't need a model to sit, but just draw from what you see everyday. You also don't have to complete a whole sketch, but try capturing a pose or movement in some quick lines.

Yeah, I've been going to life drawing session on Saturday nights and I will be attending one this Saturday night. I missed last Saturday cause I was romping around the Carribean for a few days but now I can re-focus on my drawing again.

In an attempt to try and stir some artistic creativity, I resorted to browsing through my old sketchbooks for something to either finish or re-draw. I decided to work on the following sketches, applying ink and colors with marker and micron pens.

The first one is of a character concept of mine


The second one was of the TMNTs and Spiderman


Here is a WIP of my new character concept in full regalia

Some face sketches I did at my Saturday night session


An old sketch from 2006 that I have decided to continue working on, this was inspired by Heavy Metal/Simon Bisley


I did this last night...not my best work, that's for sure, but I did it rather quickly and my goal is to draw things at a better pace than my norm which is at turtle speed

Here are some of the sketches I did at the Draw-a-thon this weekend (linked for Nudity)

the miss marvel pic is excellent.....the subtlety of it shows you get the "less is more" feel for drawing women and pic 31 from the drawing class is cool .like the angle of the chicks face
....coloring by hand seems to be your thing.maybe you should invest in watercolors when you get the chance

Ms Marvel is banging.

Ms Marvel is banging.

That's refreshing to me that you and My Nephew liked the Ms. Marvel drawing because I thought that it was the worst of all the stuff I put up today. I guess it's all in the eye of the beholder.

Thanks.

(WARNING: NUDITY) Here are my latest life drawing session pages. this last one was very intense, I was really into it. I tried a few different things like improving my shading techniques and the last one was just go with the flow improvisation of a very unique looking model.
The first one is of a very talented artist who is also a very gifted model as well, she sat down and drew for a while then posed for the drawing with all the gold chains that were put on her neck.
