Seated and Feeted, Done?

I posted him on Instagram tonight but Im not sure about those feet now. But maybe it's just me being unfamiliar with drawing feet?

Seated and Feeted 5

I like the white space and have adjusted some of the linework accordingly. I just need to address those feet—they don't look even.

Worky 5

And another detail... I don't much like this face but it works as a temp post since I know I'll rework it anyway.

Worky 4

And another...

Worky 3

And another sketch from the pending work project. Obvi a menswear thing.

Worky 2

Another detail so I don't give the project away but post anyhow.

Worky

Started doing sketches for a project that I'm negotiating. I shouldn't really start until I have all the terms finalized but I'm sketching anyhow.

Blueman, Seated 2

Nope, I can't figure it out on my own. Might need to call in a model.

Shape 10

The last time I published this image/series was in 2012, and I corrected the lighting on the figure. 8 years later, I'm still finding elements to improve, in this case the shadow and its shape and angle. Funny the things you can see clearly after some time has passed!

Blueman, Seated

Had a new idea but I thought the anatomy would be easy enough to imagine. But he isn't looking quite right.

Princess Projectra 5

I clearly can not make up my mind about the design so here's to more visual ruminations.

Tilt and Pose 10

Just tweaked the anatomy a tiny bit before I posted it on Instagram.

Editorial Hands 2

The shirt in this pose is going to be white so I thought having a black model might be better, although I'm acutely aware not to appear as if I'm pandering.

Clasped 3

I thought maybe his eyes were a bit too sad, which in a drawing might imply some sort of sorrow context whereas a guy with sad eyes in person just looks that way but might not come across as sad. Anyhow, thought I'd retool it a little, but not sure about the hair yet...

Clasped 2

I wanted to refine the face more. It was interesting to leave him with the Egon Schiele influces, but I think that's less about my own work and indulging in a bit of impersonation. Although he's now looking a bit like model Ross Hindmarch.

Skirt Stomp

I needed some sort of break form all the current events plus my own personal OCD issues at home, so I thought about just drawing fashion that I want to wear. Before all of this craziness I thought I'd be rocking my skirts more in winter, and now that it's past it and I never got the chance (who wants to dress up when you think the clothing is just going to be loaded with virus nasties from the outside?) I drew a white version that I fantasize I could be wearing.

Clasped

This was a quick sketch before I went to bed. I was playing with a brush and sketching along the lines of a Schiele style, so he's rough and quirky (although he might not stay that way).

Pavolovian 5

This guy's from back in 2018, but I figured I could reboot a few oldies. I stil can't get a handle on his hand, and I'm deciding what to do about his clothing (or lack thereof) but have been working on the body and facial details.

Sumiboom and Other Ink brushes 3

I did a few sketches in the original file I posted under this title, and I decided to fill in one of the other ones on it. It's a fun sketch but just a sketch.

Tilt and Pose 9

I can't decide—as I've inadvertently made at least 3 or 4 versions of this guy and I can't decide which direction to go: more slim, young and  model-like, or hunkier, and more muscular? I think I'm leaning toward the former... but the guy on the left has a hot face too...

Rough Line 2

Still very influenced by current events, but not sure what direction to take this. Then again, my life is in so much turmoil this week (Still dealing with a lapse in my disinfection protocols from last Friday, and it's driving me crazy!), I'm surprised I can draw at all!

Golden

I was trying to work color and minimalism in, and this is what was teh result. Plus a reminder to myself that my phone might need disinfecting.

Sumiboom and Other Ink brushes 2: Coarse Inker

This guy's an old sketch from last August that I rediscovered in an old file, so I thought I'd play around with him and flesh him out a bit more, so to speak. This particular brush was the coarse inker.

Rough Line

I thought using an old background might spur some creative thinking, but I'm just not that motivated lately.

Block Kiss 2

Okay, this is a little better.

Block Kiss

I was trying to create some imagery that was positive socially, and thought of a kiss. And I wanted to do it with swathes of color, but blocky. This wasn't quite what I had in mind.

Moondragon-y

I can't seem to sketch in all this emotional political and social tumult. This was an attempt, and it kinda looks a bit like the Marvel character Moondragon.

Fashion Mashup, Revisited

I had finished her back in August of 2014, and decided to post her for the online Fashion Illustration group I help moderate. But I couldn't leave well enough alone so I definitely tinkered a bit with some of the details like her face shading, lip shape and some of the folds renderings.

Pastel Wolfie Portrait

Playing around with teh Pastel Wolfie brush (such an odd name) and still in a BLM moment. Reminds me of the black/latino guy I had a crush on at the gym.

Black Lives Matter Portrait

I drew a black man's face for an Instagram post for today. I had reference photos I took from the shows way back in 2014/2015 and I also took a lot of liberties with the model's features but I think it turned out nicely.
