If these posts are getting annoying, just tell me. I realized the other day that i'm probably making way too many posts considering i'm not even part of the guild lol. So. Anyone that goes to gesture drawing classes, or something like that with a live model, I have a question for you. What do you normally use as a medium at such classes? I've used pencils, charcoal, oil pastels, pen & ink, and chalk so far. I'm just trying to optimize the experience and try to stretch my comfort zone in every possible way. I've seen people there drawing with watered down india ink and what I believe are bristle brushes, so I was wondering if any of you guys have had experience with that medium and if you would reccommend it. That kind of stuff. Noob questions, I know. On to the art.

I was trying to find references of faces to draw using google. For some reason the only good ones I could find were of asians. The lighting was good, and there was a whole page full of photos like these, and no two had the same pose. Dunno if i'd be able to find it again though, I forget what I used as the keyword. I should have drawn more faces while I had it. If anyone knows any good places to get refs for sketching and stuff i'd appreciate it.

Like my teacher, Don Kilpatrick, always says:
Just keep drawing!
I mean, its hard to give feedback on sketches.... other than kudos for keeping at it and that they are looking good.
Seriously.
Just keep doing it.

Also, you should probably just keep everything in one thread and keep updating it with posts. Make it your art dump thread or sketches thread or whatever.

Alot of your people look really dead or creepy because of the lack of defination in the eyes I think. If you studied them a bit more I think they'd look less 28dayslater.

Wow. I just found this photographer's site-- no idea how I got to it, I was just there all of a sudden -- and his photography is amazingly sobering and inspiring. I really reccommend it. Arrows for navigation at the bottom of the page.
