The first rendering is something I did for an ancient jam over at the Drawing Board. Old for them-new for me. It's a yoga pose but I have turned it sideways. Yoga poses are interesting to draw because of the extreme tension and flexion of the form, and as seen in earlier posts I like to tackle poses like these often. On a related note, the second, is a drawing from the as of yet unfinished ballpoint pen sketch book that was complicated but fun to do.
Jim, these are fabulous. Were these done in single unbroken sessions? What did you do the top one with? Really lovely figure, especially the face. I find the background a little distracting, which is unusual in your stuff, but she's great. I like how you've turned it, like she's facing into the wind.
ReplyDeleteThe emergence of buckbrill!
ReplyDeleteI did a drawing first -scanned it in, and then on the second session I did the PS rendering and the background. That was yesterday, the two variations were done today. I got the distracting background comment elsewhere as well; but as you see from the last variation I don't seem to be going in a direction where I want to eliminate that. ;)
Oh, and thanks for comments/visit!
ReplyDeleteNow go set up a buckbrill blog. ;)
