More Naked Folk

Hi all,

So I've been working away lately on a couple projects. Havn't really updated this here blog in a bit. Since baseball season is done and my Wednesday nights are free again figured I'd go get in some life drawing again at the community center. And I know how you all crave the nudity, so here's some of the stuff I've done there over the last couple of months.

 

 Here's a couple of my favorite models. I usually have a good drawing day when either of them pose. They're both really fun to draw for different reasons. the drawings on either side of the page where they are sitting on the stool are my favorites.  

 This is a friend of mine that I hooked up with a modeling gig. Thought she did a really good job. It's kind of wird drawing someone you know like this because you're a little more concerned with making sure it really looks like them than you usually would be if the model is a stranger. The one on the bottom left doesn't look like her at all.

 

These models were pretty good too. The girl on the right was doing doubles with here boyfriend a few weeks ago, but I missed it because game 1 of the world series was that night. I'm hoping they do doubles again soon. They're both pretty interesting people to draw.

 

 Speaking of interesting people to draw, the slender girl on the sides of this page was certainly that. She was tall and lanky, but still had this elegance to her, and was very toned, but still had a bit of curve to here.

Some folks I know who were interested in modeling were asking me what makes a good model in my opinion. Holding a pose is always nice, but there's always this intangible of is this person interesting to draw? Do their parts flow into each other nicely? And it's not a question of fat, skinny or toned, or how attractive the person is. I think you got to go on a case by case basis.  Variety is always nice though.

Anyway, I'm gonna try and put up more stuff soon. Folks have been asking me about more Shark Riders. Possibly... if you're good.

NAKED FOLKS!

So as promised I combed through a couple of the old sketchpads for some life drawing.

These are most of my favorite ones. The bottom right darwing is pretty recent but everything else is from a while ago. Makes me think I should be getting back to life drawing on a more regular basis.The top right one is probaly my favorite, just because I got her looking so sultry.

This page is comprised of three of my favorite models to draw. Rocking the mask, there's Duncan. I generally have pretty good drawing days whenever he's the model because he knows how to strike a good pose. The Girl with the glasses, I believe her name is Sascha. I love drawing her because she's like something out of an old french movie, like right after they started making movies in colour. I wish I could find the drawings of the time her and her boyfriend did doubles together. She's fantastic though. The girl with the nice big bum there, that's my friend Tiira. I actually hooked her up with the modeling gig that day. I find her really fun to draw.

Here's a few more I found while combing through the sketch pad. I didn't find all the ones I really wanted to post, but did find a few I'd forgotten about. I had forgotten completely about the two in the bottom left corner. That's another model that deserves a shout out actually. I think her name's Sophie. The doubles drawing from the first page, that's her and her boyfriend. Every once in a while I'll run into them at the bar and he'll introduce me as "the guy that drew them naked that one time."

The last page here is all stuff I did while I was in college. It was on my old hard drive, and I still like alot of it, so I figured I'd toss it up too. My favorite peice on this page is the one at the bottom. By far my favorite peice of life drawing I did in college. Those are my friends Debby and Shanna. Debby had agreed to model for me, and Shanna was in the room studying when Debby pointed out she could study and model at the same time. Ended up turning out pretty good. The freaky looking dude in the top right corner actually isn't a real person. We took a class trip to see these sculptures at the national gallery that looked really life like. There was a giant baby and other cool stuff. That dude actually sat 14 feet high.

Anyway, I got some more shark riders I've been inking, probaly won't be throwing them up until January though. Did find a few other hidden gems in those sketch pads I might be tossing up real soon, as well as some commisions I've got on the go for christmas.
