I flipped and rotated the pic so the head's straight so it's easier to see. When you can't flip a pic 'cause you're not working on a computer, lift it to a light and look through the backside to spot if anything's going wonky. I personally tilt my head to match the head tilt of a character I'm drawing if it's on a computer, or shift the paper if drawing analog so the head's straight-on because tilting facial features is hell on earth.

Thanks. I sorta knew the angle was too extreme. Missing figure drawing. Closest one is almost an hour away and starting a new group here hasn't been very successful.

I find it interesting how you consider it a dark turn, you always bring out this relaxing aspect of nature, like sitting by a pond at night but its a cyber-pond.

thank you, it was originally supposed to be a ghibli-esque scene of a couple of young kids looking out over a lake onto a distant castle but uh went differently

Hey guys,

I've had to take like a 2 week break from drawing due to some RL stuff and ain't been checking this thread, but GOD drat have you guys been pumping out some great art.

Something in the shading or the way the dress should fall on her belly doesn't catch that she's lying with her legs up on the chair, for me. It looks like an optical illusion, like she's floating with a chair in the background.

First things that come to mind. The wrinkles in the forehead and cheek are way too dark, looks like cracks in a clay vase. Not enough texture in the hair. The jawline and chin seem too smooth of a curve, too gradual a transition to me. The shadow line on the forehead seems too abrupt. I would think there should be more shadow on the bottom of the nose to give it depth.

OK here are some drawings I made. Same old same old.



Is there an ethical issue with dating a nude model from a small public figure drawing workshop? E.g. if you're innocently taking the same route home and you strike up a conversation with the model after the session that has nothing to do with their naked body you just saw, just chatting, and it turns into something more? Or if the model comes back next week as an artist to practice drawing, and you sit next to each other and talk and decide to hang out later? What if you are one of the people who helps organize the life drawing workshop? Maybe there are other threads more devoted to romance/ethics but I figure this is the thread where people are most familiar with the tone and social context of a figure drawing workshop.

I dont know much about your question, but drat Radio I love your use of contour.

I managed to get this as done as it's gonna get. I still need to get better at a lot of things.

Can you talk a little about your process?

I usually go in trying to do some thumbnail sketches, then blocking in the colors and values, and then trying to build it up from there, but I've got a bad habit of going overboard on one area for longer than I should when more of the painting needs my attention. I want to get better at establishing my lights and darks earlier on before I try to go in with more details. I've got a habit of jumping into the painting part when the sketch is a little too bland, also. I just need to get out of the habit of skipping ahead and giving myself more work later on.

If I got any of that right, good job bringing that out.

Marco Bucci is awesome. You should try toning your canvas first. It’s very hard to get good values if you paint on white, unless you’re very very skilled.
