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.
