I’ve not spent much time at it over the last few days, just a few scibbles trying to grasp different body positions, and pretty much just letting the pen do what it wants to do without thinking about it.
1,2,3. interesting on the 3rd yin I started introducing the concept of a line of action on a couple of them, it’s actually starting to make some kinda sense.
For that eureka moment alone, I’m calling these 3 no18! 😆

3(getting somewhere, dunno where, but somewhere 😆 it’s a concept worth exploring for another 1000 scribbles.)
I’m struggling. Mysterious barely worked out, fat is pretty lame, I’m totally stumped for graceful. I can’t draw people (not even anime ones, what *is* that about?) or swans or anything that looks like a thing. Basically I can’t actually draw. Might have to go for a graceful looking line, in a move which is probably a bit too close to pretentiousness for comfort.
So nice to have a thread that’s not littered with bickering but full of creativity, learning and expressing ourselves without words – it’s the future. Lets keep it going long after October has gone.
Marijuana withdrawal inspired weirdness…(sneaked a little bit of paint in – no idea why
Morning all. I turned the idea of ‘graceful’ over in my mind and came up with ballerinas, acrobats, etc. Then I made this:
I’ve done a bit of what seosamh77 is doing – though in pencil so it doesn’t count. None if it is fit to share. Anatomy is hard! So I cheat with ArtPose on my phone 🙂
JimJam – the judge’s name is a tricky one. I have a medical condition which means I’m unable to take anything seriously, even something I’ve spent time and energy on, so I sort of settled on ‘Whiffle’ which is something from a PG Wodehouse story (which I watched on the telly, being a bit of a slow reader). Sadly, a combination of poor planning and the tendency of ink to feather really, really badly on the paper in my sketchbook meant that I ended up writing Pfifle except with some of the letters in the wrong order and a spare one at the end that even I can’t read.
I bet that was a longer explanation than you expected 🙂
Thank you and yes, that was a bit of an unexpected tangent. I couldn’t read it but I was curious if it was supposed to look like an established character. Then again I can’t really remember the names of any of the female judges bar Anderson.
Decided to cut my loses and finish this. I figured it would look more interesting (and more recognisible as Mean Machine) if I flipped it so his robotic eye was in the image. I guess it looks a bit “Terminatory” but hey.
I just used to photoshop (don’t even) to wash in the skin tone and the red. Other than that it’s just how the photo looks. Cranked down the camera a bit to crush some of the blacks.
gone a bit too dark on the second I think you need some hightlights
Sure, it’s up now who cares, not like I’m getting paid by the hour 😉
Gotcha. Initially rattle cans, stove paint for black and Halfords primer for the white. Then I worked into that with marker pens, charcoal and blender/white charcoal.
