Freeze!

Just a peek at what I'm working on for my new portfolio!

Sketch

Here's something from my last sketchbook. I used artsyposes.com for reference.

Gesture Drawing with Mark McDonnell: Class 12

The doodles above were done while Mark was lecturing. I was trying to figure out how I wanted to draw the  model.

These are drawings from the last day of class. Our model was the guy that looks like Fire Lord Ozai from Avatar: The Last Airbender. The model, whose name I forget, is a real fire dancer by profession and also channels electricity through his body at some performances. How crazy is that?

 I loved this class and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get better at drawing for the purpose of storytelling. Sexy time.

Gesture Drawing with Mark McDonnell: Class 11

We missed class since Marie's flight back from Colorado was delayed and then we got stuck in traffic. We ended up getting sushi at Kabuki in Pasadena.

Gesture Drawing with Mark McDonnell: Class 10

I was really struggling to get drawings I liked in this session, but I thought I'd post a few anyway.

Gesture Drawing with Mark McDonnell: Class 9

More 2-5 minute poses from class. I think the model used to pose for Boris Vallejo. Only three classes left!

Gesture Drawing with Mark McDonnell: Class 8

We get great models in this class! Too bad there are only four sessions left. Posting my drawings here is really helping me track my growth in this class. I think I'm improving a lot!
