Day 22

Bought a clutch pencil today, and this is the result! Used another figure of mine as reference. This took me so many hours, I think I’ll do simpler pieces for the next couple days.

edit: I see many proportion problems. I must block out the figure carefully and with more detail the next time.

Day 20 & 21

Construction practice with Wall-E and drapery with Coraline. Both are drawn from the figures I have. Clearly more practice is needed!

Day 18 and 19

 

Yesterday’s drawing plus today’s Lion anatomy study. I think I’ll stick to pencil for a while.

Some anatomical notes-

1) The cat’s clavicle is buried in the region of the shoulder muscle, it’s a “floating bone”, it doesn’t connect to the rest body via any bone. This allows it to go through any opening it can fit it’s head into.

2) Similarly, so is the scapula. It “floats” above the shoulder muscles. This is a defining feature of a cat and part of what gives it that distinct stalking feel of a cat’s walk.

3) They walk on their toes like most animals, what we think of as feet, are actually just the toes. The rest of the feet goes up the leg.

4) The front paws has a “Dew claw” sticking out the back, a lot of mammals have it. These typically do not touch the ground at all when they walk.

Day 17

 

Quick doodle today, after I added the marker as shading it started to smear and smudge parts that are underneath…damn. well lesson learnt.

Day 16

Traditional media today, quick doodle of tigers since I’m animating some now.

Day 15 is missing because Photoshop is in a mess! I’ll update as soon as I can reinstall it.

Day 14

 

 

 

 

Received my english version of the Hyrule Historia today!

So here’s a drawing of Link. Used my Figma figure as reference. I intend to colour and finish this tomorrow.

Day 13

Muscle and tendons, top view

Day 12

Hand skeletal study.

Day 11

Tired today, more hands.

Day 10

Hands hands hands. I feel like I should draw even more but I’m also animating at the same time.

Maybe I should doddle when I’m in the loo?

Day 9

More hand studies.

Reel FX: Looking for Rhythm and Hues Artists!

Some good news at last, after the sobering news of Rhythm and Hues’s Chapter 11

On ReelFX’s jobsite

This recruiting tab was created for those Rhythm and Hues artists who have been affected by their recent situation. Please know our thoughts are with you. We are currently looking for new members of our various teams and will be reviewing your information in as timely a manner as possible.

Day 8

Hands today, hand on left looks wrong, could be proportions or bad foreshortening. Tomorrow will probably be hands again until I get it right.

Day 7

More noses today

Day 6

Today – Noses

edit: Right after I uploaded I see how misshapen the top left one is. More practice needed.

Day 5

Busy today because it’s Chinese New Year’s eve, just did a quick Form study. Curve surfaces are hard. Drawn on iPad, Paper app.

Day 4

 

Back to basics, practicing shape and forms, drawn on my iPad with the Paper app.

Day 3 part 2

Tachikoma! From the Revoltech figure, I left out some bits to make it easier to draw. This thing has so much detail!

Day 3

Apple pie @ IKEA

(edit: it’s half eaten and funky looking)

Drawing Thingies

Site’s been quiet for a while, but I’ve been keeping myself busy.

A Drawing a Day, I’ve just started this yesterday to practice my construction. My construction is terrible.

Cafe Drawing – Just random people on the streets, also just started again recently. Trying to get back into gestural drawings.

Sketches done for the Animals and Creatures Masterclass at Animation Mentor
