Force Anatomy Studies

Was fortunate to get into Mike Mattesi's Force Anatomy class at the very last minute. Learning a lot and enjoying the assignments. Last week was back muscles.

Class with Scott Fischer: first assignment

Completed my first assignment for Scott Fischer's illustration class. This one was very challenging on many levels ( it was a creative self-portrait assignment ).

Ferdinand Petrie Studies

I've been studying Ferdinand Petrie in an attempt to improve my environment/landscape composition and rendering technique. Here are a few samples of my studies.

Bridgman Faces Studies

Finally finished all my studies from Bridgman's Faces book. Here are the studies from the book's last 2 pages:

Bridgman Heads and Faces

More George Bridgman studies. Going through his heads and features at the moment. Very challenging to freehand, but I'm doing my best to keep up.

Bridgman Studies

Been busy doing Bridgman studies. Using the renaissance workshop approach to learning: tons and tons of copies. Heads and figures are from a few months ago, hands are more recent. It's a slow process, but I'm noticing a significant change in line quality.

Here's a snapshot of some of my Bridgman mastercopies:

More Bargues

Hi everyone,

I've been busy practicing and working. Here's a snapshot of some of my latest training: bargue copies. I use them slightly different than what I used to do at the atelier: I measure everything strictly by sight and all of these are done digitally using the Photoshop pencil  live brush.

I try to keep each piece down to no more than 3 hours total.
