Pages from my figure study sketchbook. These pages are done with a Kuretake Fude FL2F. Poses are from photo reference, selected at random and on timer. Page 1 was 9 minutes per pose. Page 2 was 6 minutes, and Page 3 was 3 minutes. I feel like I've improved a bit over the last year. I'm starting to reliably build and or capture the shapes I see. I've had to diverge from the build basic shapes and work then model... at least on paper. I get so distracted by what I see. I tend to get lost when I "draw through" an object. I see the object in my mind and I'm my mind I know how it goes in 3 dimensions. but to get images i like, lately I've been successful with focusing on values and silhouettes . . . . . . #figuredrawing #figurepainting #brushandink #inkandbrush #sketchbook #croquis #brushpen #waterpen #drawing https://www.instagram.com/p/CTZ-239lVP_/?utm_medium=tumblr

Pages from my figure study sketchbook. These pages are done with a kuretake fude ink brush with a fine tip. Poses are from photo reference, selected at random and on a timer. Page 1 - 3 are 3 minute sketches worth a few 6 minute ones thrown in. Page 4 has 1 minute sketches. I've really been enjoying working directly with ink, and building an accurate silhouette, being mindful of the anatomy, seems to be working a little. . . . . . #figuredrawing #figurepainting #watercolor #gouache #brushandink #inkandbrush #sketchbook #croquis #chinesebrush https://www.instagram.com/p/CTU10D9FX3-/?utm_medium=tumblr
