This is an image I did in July 06. It was mainly to practice shading/blending. It took forever to complete.
I traced the outline and features of the head and I also picked some colors from the ref-image. Being strictly a shading excercise I didn’t really mind doing so at that particular time.
Drew three skulls yesterday. Front and side. A test to see if I could draw some faces on top of them. Got finished today. Drew the skulls on paper and the faces with my tablet. I’ve put up three different versions. The skulls, the faces and a composite of both to se how the faces fit over the skulls.
I have purposely adjusted the faces a bit here and there after my liking. Also there is not enough space from the skull to the outer limits of the face the way I drew them. Take a looksie.
It has been a long while since I fooled around with the tablet and my hand feels pretty shaky when drawing. Also, it feels like I use my wrist far to much, so I guess I need to practice using my shoulder a bit more.
The result.. my lines are not very pretty to look at.
Speaking of skulls.. here is a whole bunch of photos of a skull model in different angles. Beware the camera distorsion though (at least I think there is a bit distorsion in these pictures). I guess the best thing would be to draw one from life.
Bought a couple of toys the other day! Toys r us to the rescue!
I bring you… Iceman and Kevin. Two really nice chaps actually.
Despite that.. and also the fact that I’m a pretty calm person, I ripped Kevins head off. His body was really just a pile of junk. Even Icemans body seems physically correct in comparison. But then again… it is toys.
Kids might not have the same needs!
Although not the most accurate representations of the human form they give me some valuable feedback when studying shapes and forms and also a bit on lighting/planes. Not being distorted by a camera-lense is a also a good thing.
