As Promised

So its a new week! So as promised, MORE ARM STUDIES! I did 20 all together! 10 straight, 10 bent.

Arms and hands are rather difficult, in fact i would say they are the hardest to draw. (or at least for me) Drawing arms can become repetitive after awhile that is true! but never tedious! things only become tedious if you are already good at them. Art has no exact answer, no perfect piece! so practice, practice and practice! and never think of it as being tedious!

On top of that i always knew the term "practice makes perfect", but i have come to realize whoever said that sentence for the first time, yeah, probably an artist. I have started this rigorous sketching "boot camp" of really getting  cracking! Get some work done! and none of that fluffy, draw your emotions stuff! This is art as a business! Practice, improve, repeat! I have already seen improvements in my own work, and that makes me happy!

Without further a due!

Everyone enjoy the beginning of spring!

 

STUDIES!

Ok. so for this weeks practice, i want to focus on arms and legs! now i know the muscles pretty well and could name them all, and all that good stuff. BUT! as an illustrator, i want to work on the interlocking shapes, and some rhythm! SO 10 OF EACH!

(next studies i do will be to get into the arms MORE and continue down the entire limb, wrists and hands are always the hardest. SO WE DO THEM NOW)

Vector Icons

Knowing vectors at first to me (a concept artist) seemed like a serious waste of time till i realized its advantages. with that when i see an advantage its time to learn it! Which translates to tutorials! So this is vector #2, Iphone Icons tutorial!

(5 Icons, 2 themes (skulls + sports genres)

(1 1/2 hrs each x 5 = 7 1/2 hrs)
