Life drawings from the zoo

Today I spend at the zoo in Amersfoort. The sun was shining and all the animals were playful; it was a real treat to sketch them!

Personal project continued

A new life drawing and a series of concept-art/sketches for a project I'm working on with a friend.

Life drawings and an illustration sketch

Two life drawings...one of my sweet sister! And a sketch from my parents barn.
The last sketch is for a revision of the Maria/Breath of Heaven illustration from a few posts ago....looking back at it I think it doesn't work. Now I try to make a more sober 'Mucha-esque' version instead.

The sketching goes on

While sketching a part of the city (again) I noticed I lost my patience,...so this one's made more quickly (10-15 min.). Since I don't have an A3 scanner, I had to squeeze 2 A4 scans into 1, and then tried to smooth out the overlapping edges.
Also 2 colored versions done in PS as an experiment.

New cityscapes and then coloured in PS.

Life drawings continued...

A quick sketch (1-2 min.) from tonight's life-drawing class.

Another cityscape

Drawing cityscapes really makes you appreciate the town you live in! I added some colour in PS.

More work!

Today I set out to practise more on drawing cityscapes, but due to the cold weather my line was 'shaky'. I coloured the sketch in PS.



I often collect interesting photographs from magazines of newspapers. I like the dramatic pose of the woman!



Two images from 'Gloria van Goes'; an old comicbook written by Paul Deckers and illustrated by Piet Wijn. Piet Wijn was one of Hollands greatest comicartists.

New life drawings

The first one's a random sketch, the other two new life drawings. I plan to practise more on how to draw large layouts.

Lifedrawings and a magazine-sketch

Yesterday's lifedrawing-class was very dull, without an inspiring model. My 'catch for the evening' where these two 1-2 minute sketches. Also a sketch from a magazine; I discovered a nice way to 'underpaint' a sketch using a light brush/marker-pen. The top layer is done with a brush using black ink.

Lifedrawings

Today I joined a lifedrawing group; we drew all day, with a few intermissions. It was very tiresome, but good practise. Here are some of my sketches; all were done in 1-3 minutes.

New lifedrawings..!

Life drawings

I feel I'm regaining my skills in drawing from life! I haven't done this for quite some time, but lately I'm trying to practice wherever I am.
