Loomis and Action Man Figure studies

After taking some advice from some creative friends over on Facebook, I worked out what I want from these rough studies. I'm not trying to make fully rendered drawings or illustrations out of these pieces. I am just trying to work how a human figure is constructed, using the methods instructed in the Andrew Loomis book.

23-30th January 2012- More Figure Studies from Loomis and Action Man figure

I'm starting to find the photographs having more volume and depth to the figure then my actual pencilled studies of them... oh well...

Loomis' Fun with A Pencil Studies- Doohinkus Manikin and Action Figure Studies- Last Week's Batch

Same drill as before from last week's epic entry, but this time the drawings and photographs were done during last week.

Loomis' Fun with A Pencil Studies- Doohinkus Manikin and Action Figure Studies

Just to explain why there are photographs, drawings that look like, and do not look like, the figures in these photographs, I am currently at the chapter in the book, which encourages me to learn from a movable figure. Hence, why there are shots of an Action Man figure in those positions, and a live drawing of that figure, to understand this position the other manikin- the one with the moustache and markings on their torso and hips- has been placed. All of these drawing were done between December 2011,up to the present day, being January 2012, and I was encourage to start posting again on a Facebook group that encourages you to draw something everyday. So this post will keep me up to date with that for now.

An Old Sketch Book... with Some New Drawn In Too!

I found this old sketch pad, the other day, and I decided to have a look in. Amongst all the notes- which date to probably my GCSE days from the French revision- there were a lot of doodles.

I do like, amongst all those cartoon heads, I was attempting to draw actual characters, like R2D2, or a villian from the PS1 game Rayman- I guess I was born to do some fan art, now and again.
So noticed that there were some pages left in the old book left. So, I did what came naturally to me.... use it up, of course!

So the top picture was really just me sploshing some paint about, as I was working on a watercolour illustration, which was based on the above 3 sketches of my face- I might get around to uploading that piece soon.

I even did some studies from the Loomis book, but I might make a proper, where this drawing came from, when I get around to doing some further scanning.
