I don't really put much value on the figure drawings themselves. It's all practice to me. Not that I don't appreciate a good figure drawing or painting! I'm totally down. But these are just exercises.<br /><br />The animals are a good time though. Most of this stuff is invented from a bunch of different images, but I did have some very helpful screen captures of the Youtube video. The video fortunately ends before the tiger actually makes contact with the guy, and I don't want to know what happened to him. Coloring the bigger scene (finished inks on a previous post) at the moment.Jed Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06833411175703626635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21101554.post-75970906908371284982009-12-05T16:32:14.489-08:002009-12-05T16:32:14.489-08:00Tiger faces are great!

The one in the middle is really cool.<br /><br />I don't "get" life drawing / anatomy. It's like Shakespeare to me, I just don't get what the appeal is, to draw it or to study it or to admire it. Only if a figure is truly unique, like Dali's Crucifix painting or something like that. only then do I sit up and take notice of "the human form". I much prefer the elephants and tigers! I'm just rambling here, not suggesting or requesting that you switch gears. I know I'm some crazy weirdo who does not appreciate figure drawings like normal people do.<br /><br />Nice job on the studio! How long does it last? When I give my studio a good sprucing up like that, it takes about a month for chaos to reclaim it.<br /><br />See ya!Mark Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04799399359022340724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21101554.post-33941516617480640262009-12-01T17:50:33.052-08:002009-12-01T17:50:33.052-08:00Thanks!Thanks!Jed Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06833411175703626635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21101554.post-30469700191235049172009-11-29T21:12:58.900-08:002009-11-29T21:12:58.900-08:00That's some beautiful and elegant line work, J...That's some beautiful and elegant line work, Jed.Fredhttp://www.frednoland.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21101554.post-44396481152317913432009-11-29T13:31:32.853-08:002009-11-29T13:31:32.853-08:00Thanks Tin.
