well, that was a different sadface coping mechanism

[kol]

I have been resisting efforts to speed up sketches, even though ren_sama told me I should try doing quickie sketches. Well, I gave in tonight and spent about an hour sketching off a really cool pose website and off the television. No, you cannot see the last ones, since they are all really lame stargate ones that suck, but I uploaded the others.





All ranged from 30 to 90 seconds. Which for me is ridiculously fast because I fail at drawing without layers and freak out. This was my first real attempt at 'figure drawing,' so I'm okay with how they turned out. I don't have real sketching tools, apparently, so I just used crayola markers, .45mm micron, and my lame ebony pencil. My favorite sketch was the hand at the top of page 2. :D

I need an icon that works for fanarting *___*.

I do bleve Ren has the right of it. Those are GOOD! <333

(I must give that a go myself. XD I am v. slow artist. Also, I have been v. daring of late and attempting arts drawn solely with the tablet -- usually I scan in a pencil sketch and work from that. Behold the fruits of my labours (http://tatterdemalion.lotus-eater.org/kingdom/profiles/profile-loni.jpg)! ^_^)

Y'know, it always sounds insane when people say this helps but it's true. My old drawing master (not teacher, you can't call an ancient Italian dude a teacher) used to have us do 20 quick sketches for every class. He would tell us to watch TV and sketch action poses. I found doing that REALLY got me analyzing the inherent line and flow of people. TV moves so fast.
