For the past 7ish months I’ve devoted a lot of my artistic efforts towards the growth of my figure drawings. Prior to coming out to L.A. I knew the figure was my biggest weakness and began my studies but since being here I’ve practically entered anatomy boot camp and I’ve made worlds of progress. What I’m happy about isn’t so much the pieces I do at figure sessions but the greater understanding of the shapes that make up anatomy that I filter through my fantastical mind to build anything. I feel like megaman absorbing powers and becoming a sum that is greater than the parts. Of course I still have a ton more to work on but I needed to reflect just a bit. Here are some 3 min sketches from the other nights session with a focus on blocking in shadow patterns.
