Grey scale Painting

Some experimenting with acrylic's wanted to start simple with a grey scale painting
Here are the thumbnails:


Here is the somewhat finished painting:

Life Drawing

A longer pose at 3 mins or something

Some sketches

here are some quick doodles of various characters

And the last bit

I realize that these are horribly uninteresting but I have decided to post almost everything

More Gestures

Here is more

Mostly Gestures 30 seconds to 1 minute

Heres a shit load of Gestures that I have been doing. I have been trying to get down all the information i need as quickly as possible but I find my gestures are sitting on the fence between contour and gesture oh well.

Update on the blind contours

Okay im not gonna post any more of the blind contours I am rather sick of them, I have drawn 3 more and despite the fact that I stayed true to the exercise and didn't look at my page once for the last 3 I will not post them as they dont look like much of anything. HA tomorrow or mayhaps even tonight I will have gestures up

Blind Contour Shoe

Here is another Blind COntour, probably spent 15 minutes on it. Really like this one the least, I kind of feel like I cheated myself I looked down a couple of times and I rushed through it. Therefore kind of defeating the purpose of the exercise. Oh well cant win em all I will probably post 2 more tonight and will be done with my blind contour exercises

Various Muscle Studies

Here are some Muscle Studies done, rather quick sketches. Posting fills me with some unexplainable joy.

Here is another that was done much faster

Here is a 15 min blind contour of my hand. Meh.....

Blind Contour Self Portrait 20 Mins

Here is the beginning of my study from the Natural Way to draw book, I want to got through the program listed in this great book to refine my traditional skills in art. I only looked at my page once when my wrist cramped up so I am kind of proud of how it came together
