I did waaaay too much reference and research for tuesdays comic about the Retail Avenger in the book store. I did a ton of sketches of kids throwing tantrums and piles of cluttered books. I like to think that it builds characters…
All my sketches that night were “nude” until I drew nipples and then suddenly the drawings looked “naked”!
I went to a figure drawing session this week. I used a pen and made myself stop sketching and just draw one clean line. It’s like jumping off a cliff. You have to just do it and pay close attention to space.
Also, this is the first time I’ve gone to a figure drawing class where the model was clothed. Wow, it’s so much easier! Clothes are like a cheat sheet for the body. “Ooh, the swimsuit straps are halfway down so that puts the shoulder there and the elbow there….”
They really are cartoons unto themselves
Having coffee with the girls. My friend Becca had some sketch cards that we played with. I used her reference photo that she was using for a flipped Little Red Riding Hood. This was the wolf.
