small sketches

Friday drawing and painting....

Afternoon session, I tried to practice sketching with brush. I thought, it will be like Alla Prima, but the time was too short, and I couldn't paint over to finish. And I tried like water colour. In the end, I learned it is easy to do for short poses... Both models this day were excellent, and I enjoyed drawing/painting a lot.

Day 5

I touched his hair a bit and a rag and sheep. It doesn't look too bad when I see it from far far away in dark... XD

Day 4

Still yellow shows up strong...

Day 3 (...maybe 4, I forgot...)

I added his facial feature and started first painting, dead colour painting, today. I did't realize that I made his skin tone too yellow until I turned on the light... XD

few things...

The first one is my 4th Bargue drawing (never mind the doodles around... ha-ha-ha). The left one is the construction sketch on the cartridge paper, and articulate it (the middle pic) and transferred to a stonehenge paper, the right pic is 95% completed work.

The 2nd photo is my new project, St.John the baptist by Caravaggio. Still long way to go...

And the last one is my chinese brush sketches. It's been a long time for me to use it, so took a lot of concentration. The left one is 1 hour work and rest 2 are 40 min works... started to loose proportion and likeness.... (>_<)"

Allison 1 hour pose

I prepared a paper a night before, but didn't turned out as I wish. I needed a bit more time to do better... Charcoal pencil, oil pastel on cartridge paper. Photoshoped a bit...

2011 Spring

It's been a while...

I feel the Fall is gradually coming. What I have done this Summer... Stupidly I didn't do much. Only thing I can proud of is I took oil painting workshop, and I like what I made and I can share it. And Friday drawing club is started new session today. Now I can upload something more.

Prisma color pencil on Cartridge paper

Oil on canvas

shading and tone

colour works -> 1h and 1.5 h drawing, used Prismacolor color, waxy colour pencils

B/W works -> 30 min drawings, used General's carbon pencils with a bit of brush

Color pencil works are done one week after that I did B&W works. I got better sense of shading... Thanks, Fernando~!

Academy way...

I tried to draw a bit more like an academy way, but ... ha-ha, not so successful... it turned out like not much different from my ordinary way! XD
