Observation Drawings

Some drawings from life on the left, and drawings of hands and Kate Upton from a magazine on the right.

Drawing from Photos

I saved a step in my process to demonstrate how I work. Because the wall is green and bouncing a lot of green light on the figure, I started this piece by painting everything green (on the right). Then I slowly built up the contrasting colors on the figure, and added some of the fleshy color to the green wall to unify the piece. That's what differentiates a painting from reality I think.

Clothed Figure and Nude Figure

Drawing drapery and clothed figures from fashion magazines. I also practice drawing the modeled figures from posemaniacs.com. If you're looking for a particular pose it's not a bad site for reference.

Drawing from Photos

These were drawn while I was working on a fashion themed game. I like to explore themes by doing a lot of sketches from life and photos. These weren't for a particular piece. It's just a way to practice drawing and brainstorm. Can you guess the celebrity?

Here are some more studies related to my work on the mobile game Modern Girl. There are some more notes about hair. Also examples of weight shifting and head tilting.

Sketches from "America the Beautiful"

Series of drawings copied from an old coffee table book that I own called "America the Beautiful".
