Final Figure Drawing Dump Part 3

These are the first ones I did. Thanks for bearing with me on this. XD

This one was before the actual session started. The girl helping to run the event was standing around so I tried to draw her and then scribbled around on various pages to warm up and loosen up.

Figure Drawing Dump Part 2

About all the color figure drawings from earlier - sorry that my camera wasn't so good with the colors. >_< Not that they were super vibrant in real life or anything, but the pictures weren't that blurry. Oh, well... for now enjoy some 1 minute charcoals.

Woowww... so bad with the "once a week update" minimum thing. >__>; It's been over a week since I last updated... =___= And for that I guess that means DUMP TIME (sorry!).

First off, this club I joined at my college offers a 3 times a week figure drawing session for $4 a session (suuuper good price!). So the first dump will be my figure drawings.

Above are the 2 minute ones I did. At one point I stopped altogether because the pastels I used were REALLY bad. By bad I mean it was hurting my hands bad. The pigment would not show up on the paper unless you really SCRAPED it onto the page. My hand started really cramping up so I gave myself a small break.

Above are the five minutes ones - the last ones I got to do before having to go home. I did it in watercolor to give my hand a rest if anything. My hands were starting to cramp up with charcoals, pastels, etc. so I picked up a brush which allowed my hands to lax up more and went through the five minute poses with watercolor paint.

I was at the school library today looking through a collection of clothing catalogues from the 1920s. I drew in my sketchbook then decided to give it a shot by sketching some out digitally. I sorta regret it, now D: Ah, my lord... The lady's head came out too puny and her umbrella is like... wtf is that? ; A ; But anyways, I'm kinda uploading it since I haven't uploaded a sketch in a while. XD

I haven't mentioned yet on this blog but I've been watching Glee for the past few years. It's mainstream and admittedly over the top (very much so!) but it's still a show I enjoy watching. Yeah - how does that relate to anything?

I auditioned for something called "The Glee Project":

Call it shameless advertising? Haha! Anyways, I'll talk more about this in another time but for now cheers or something. O_O; (You don't have to click it if you don't want to.) For now sorry it's not so great - I finished it up laaaate at night and I didn't want to disrupt anyone and I had school the next day. I don't think I'm winning in the first place but I wanted to just do something with my time, I suppose~

First off, I'll give this thing I did about two weeks ago. I tried to draw a profile shot of John Lennon. Safe to say... I failed. ;____; I gave up pretty early in so maybe I coulda done more but... another day... >__>;

A painting practice doodle thing. I wanted to draw a face since I'm comfortable with that. I said earlier my goal was to figure out a painting style thing for myself. So... I did try and work on that. Dunno how it's going, though. Haha! However - I DO feel like I've improved which is a GOOD SIGN [insert my only clap for myself here].

The drawing is of a character named Adrian. I don't know why he's making that face either. P: He has braces in case no one noticed. D: And he's supposed to be Filipino - dunno if he looks it, though. >_<

In order Adrian, Jeanie (Janet), and Carly (Carolynne). Adrian appeared above the other two are new for anyone watching the blog, haha. P: My amaaazing friend Emu linked me a super funny link that consisted of the wrap party for Doctor Who http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3s4Czla6tXc on David Tennant's leaving as the role of the Doctor. I made a funny spaz dance and felt like drawing some characters doing that so I did a quickie sketch thing and smashed them together like this. P:

I decided to re-post an updated version of this to point out some things I did as a change up to make it more "character sheety". I added his height next to his head. I sooo did not bother with weights because uh... that stuff fluctuates and I'm scared I might calculate out a number that's unrealistic.

And the cast thing that I stated in the last post was probably vague... More specifically I have different stories in my mind. Each story has its own set of characters. A cast is the story's set of characters. Ark's cast has been named "Pora Former Cast" as of yesterday (I might change it P: ).

OKAY! So a NEW one. This one is for Martin Erxol.

TIME: 1 hr 30-40 min

According to my aaaaamazing friend Suzie yesterday was apparently self-portrait day. Me, being a total derp about things like that did not know that... >__>; Anyways... I thought that I might as well give it a shot since y'know... I need stuff to do in order to successfully procrastinate on my essay! D:< (I enjoy it, too! Don't worry~ ;) )

Anyways, for this thing I don't think it looked like me in the end so... pooey for that. The lines I added because I thought it'd look cool if I did that - I dunno if it adds or detracts in a way that makes it annoying/distracting but I thought I might as well mess around, hey... originally my pose wasn't a "uh... can't hear you!" pose but I had a pen in my hand. I gave up when I realized the screen wasn't gonna take it compositionally well XD. So... anyone who knows me IRL - tell me what you HONESTLY think about it - even if all you have is "YO FACE UGLY IRL O: < ".

Still trying to bring up my real life observation painting skills. Still sucking... but I'm hopefully getting better at this stuff! The back you can is a pink, children chair and a massage chair with a plastic bag next to it. the front is a cubicle cup and a piece of my laptop screen.

CHARACTER SHEEET THINGEEEYY. I thought since all of my characters might as well be "who dat? O: " to random people who may be passing by (so far all my watchers are people I know irl, though Hahaha! ; A ; ) I decided to make a character sheet thingy out of the characters. It's a bit for myself, too since I tend to do inconsistent coloring stuff. Along with that, I wanted to make sure I had a clear idea of body stuff...

I want to do it by character story cast thing by cast. At first I wanted to start with the smallest cast list and move up to bigger cast lists to make sure I finish at least ONE cast. I originally wanted to start with Daniel's since I only have 3 characters to do with it so it wouldn't have taken long. BUT (always a but with me... ) it turns out I'm not good at drawing Daniel and Rachel to some extent in a digital media since I'm used to drawing him while scribbling with a marker pen or a 2B pencil. Imma need time to figure him out. P: George is okay, though!

Another smaller cast would have consisted of rabbits, but I thought "naaah".

So enjoy! I'll try to get more of the character sheets stuff done with my future posts. They usually don't take more than 20-40 minutes so they're a good thing if I have no idea. I got lots of characters to burn through so it should be something to last for me... Haha~
