Turkey-Like

Summer is a good time to take a leap forward and advance the arts. This be the first, and hopefully many more to come. Looking forward to having a firmer foot planted on the digital side of art.

digital.. clean lines, but.. not as accurate..

1000 Heads, Updated

"sigh. I tried to organize these, even via html.. but in the end, I figured it's just not worth the trouble. So, anyways.. here are my hundred heads. As expected, the first few ten heads are the most time consuming, and then the rest.. you just want to get through them with whatever method, as long as it's fast (and furious). Naturally I started drawing the heads realistically, as is; then I attempted a cartooney style and then caricature.. but they were all just hybrids.

EDIT: Updated.

SF Cartoon Museum

Today my class went to the Cartoon Museum in SF. I got to fill up my sketchbook by a number of pages, but more importantly I got to draw, draw, draw. And I came to realize, in practice, that loosely sketching out the mass of the subject first helped a lot with accuracy. Great galleries. below are my sketches, basically copies. Fun day, but who knew that holding a sketchbook with one arm while standing and sketching, demands much bicep strength and endurance!! It was hectic sketching at first, trying to keep in pace with the class, but then everyone left and I got to draw more thoughtfully and to my liking; both experiences have their pluses.

One of the drawings I liked most is this silly one, by Vanessa Davis, that was part of a comic on how to make a salad, I think:

Upcoming, Falling Sack

various designs for my sack character... came across the unique idea of the brown bag last and am most fond of it, but prob because I'm advised to best pass on that one... =_=

 so it's going to be this guy
