life sketches

Some life drawing sketches. I started out pretty regular, pencil stuff which looks, though in my style, pretty ordinary, just capturing movement and form. I don't do the "Otis style", or correct drawing technique of getting the major shapes and then fill and refine, I outline and go. works for me, but it tends to be flat and more often than not disproportionate. From there I started doing live inking during longer poses:


I've started working on a single-line style for another class which I've started using in the life drawing, and I'm really enjoying the results. All of these are one single-line (I do pick the pen up sometimes to see where I'm at, and in some I've gone back and done fills not connected, but 99% are all connected lines.) I'm working on refining this into something I can use everyday.




I love this last set, it's like a quick visual story.


My apologies on the stitching, doesn't work that well on a crappy scanner. Think the wrong proportions actually work in these cases. more when I get some.
