Side Show 4: Movember

This drawing keeps evolving, lol. I'm not sure I like where it's going from my original intent, but I'm following through because I'm interested where it's going.

Movember

He's looking very Middle Eastern, methinks...

Side SHow 3: Movember

It's a quarter of the month in and I haven't drawn a single moustache for Movember... until now. Not sure yet if I like a moustache, or if I'm just not drawing the right moustached face.

Side Show 2

I'm not quite sure where this style is coming from, but it's coming out this way. I'm wondering how I'll progress with it...

Backspread

I found an old shoot online and one of the poses was a provocative leg spread, but from behind. It's an angle I've never seen before so I thought it bore practicing.

Side Show

I didn't do any drawings this weekend so these are makeup drawings. I passed a magazine store and the pose of the man on the cover was similar to this, although he wasn't showing any genitalia, lol. So I took inspiration from that.

Sheena 5

I'm hoping to finish this up before the year ends. Ha!  Fat chance of that, but I'll try.

Tilted

I saw a pic of a guy posing like this, and thought it might make a nice drawing. Except I'm not sure what the rest of the composition will look like yet.

Happy Halloween 2018

Back to black (cats).

Biggg 3

The problem with the volume renderings lies in the draping of the fabric, otherwise there could be a tendency for the forms just to look too solid and unrealistic. So I went back in and created the drapery within the silhouette.

Asian Edge 2

At least it's a nicer vignette now. I wasn't sure what to do with those hands so I just deleted one of them and refined the other.

Walk Back

I found myself watching men's swimwear fashion shows, which really are like Victoria's Secret shows in that people may not really be interested in the clothing so much as the models wearing them. But with today's fitness levels, it's amazing how much I was able to glean just by watching these guys walk back and forth on the runway. I often take for granted how to draw musculature because comics sort of trained me to make things up based on what other comicbook artists were doing. But as I matured as an artist (and lord knows, it took longer than I would ever have expected—if you told me it would take til now, I would have given up!) I realized how musculature works more, and how far I am from really drawing it the way it is, as well as stylized versions of anatomy. Anyhow, here's one of my studies. It's not as detailed as you probably expect mostly because I was focusing on the lower back muscles, but I imagine I'll flesh this out further later.

Asian Edge

As I was drawing that oversized silhouette fashion sketch yesterday, I still wanted to experiment with haircuts to make something edgy. And I'm wondering if there's something edgy that's sexy as well?

Biggg 2

I was thinking of a cool Asian haircut and this one keeps coming up in various magazines and online references. We're still in bowl cut territory so I wonder if there's anything else that would be edgy, and perhaps even sexy at the same time. Because I'm not sure they aren't mutually exclusive in current fashion, unless it's a more conventional buzz cut.

Biggg

I was inspired by a newly discovered Japanese brand but I wasn't sure how to do the massive wash effectively. This wet gouache technique isn't floating my boat.

Resolver

Grut brushes put out a new free brush and I wanted to test it out. This is their Resolver brush and it has a very similar dry brush effect to something I coincidentally just inquired about, from drawings of my online artist acquaintance, Richard Vyse.

ER (semi) Nude

This was another drawing I did in the ER, using my iPhone. It's not as good as it could be if I had more control than with my finger (not to mention suffering from a virus), but all things considered I'm getting more used to finger painting on that small screen (iPhone X). I started this Monday and touched it up a smidge to cast it for today's post.

Emergency Room

My doc couldn't understand why my fevers kept going up, and since he couldn't examine me himself, he asked that I go to teh ER at Beth Israel. Ugh, I was there for over 6 hours just to find out I didn't even have The Flu, it was likely just some bad cold.  Just you wait,I'll probably get hit with a $5000 bill as well. Anyhow, these were two of the people in the ER waiting room with me.

She Could Be Veruschka

I didn't intend to draw Veruschka, but her features definitely resemble those of the legendary model.

Gown

This drawing came out of nowhere, from using the Acrylic Glaze brush. I just doodled a face and she kept building and refining until she was standing there in some feather chubby and a long black mermaid sheath.
