Figure Study 8
Yesterday's figure drawing session...
I'm enjoying using the sanguine pencil though it takes some getting used to. The lead is hard, scratchy, and does not glide as well over the newsprint as charcoal, though it lends itself to more precise rendering.
Looking at the drawing under fluorescent lights at an angle produces a pretty sweet shimmering/ glowy effect where the greys of the newsprint take on a slight green tinge due to all the surrounding red.
Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na...
(yes i'm being a rusty rip-off with the border/frame thing haha)Finished Batman : Arkham Asylum a week ago. Pretty much marathon-ed the whole game because it was soo good :D Rocksteady Studios did a brilliant job with it. The scarecrow sequences were the best parts of the game for me just because of the mood and atmosphere they were able to create

Just thought I'd share some links to various resources/refs I use for my personal studies. This is also an easier way for me to access them as well.
I will be updating this page in the future with more links as I find them.
All work is copyrighted to their respective owners...I'd probably be careful about directly referencing images in your own work. I just use these for studies or general reference. Some may allow you to use their images directly in your own work(dA stock accounts) if you credit them for the reference.

Thought I'd post this up too... Our second composition assignment for class I completed some time ago lol :/

This week's figure drawing session
edit : bonus drawing. Something older that I never took a picture of. This is a portrait of my friend Jake who posed for us one time for our life drawing session. I was trying out a sanguine pencil on newsprint.
