Flowers II

Two more drawings from last week. Tulips and a poppy.

Flowers

Theme No. 12 | Flowers

Spent last week developing some bird characters for an illustration that will hopefully make its way to the blog soon. Pretty excited about it, but needs some digital painting/finessing. Jumped straight into this week's theme of flowers today with some loosely composed daises and peonies. Attempting to relinquish control of tight compositions, erasing and planning. Can't really erase and plan peonies when you're drawing on a bus  :)

Birds

Theme No. 11 | Birds

A few birds from last week. Not quite a fan of the watercolor pencils although I keep exploring. Sometimes I prefer the drawings without the added wash, and for some reason the falcon looks more interesting in just ink. Perhaps this medium requires a very specific subject.

1). Falcon  2). Hoopoe 3). Egret  4). Robin

What does the fox say?

Been mostly drawing quick skeletons and studying body proportions not really worth posting, so here's a more fun drawing. Random foxes done on the bus the other week colored later with some watercolor pencils.

Week 8. Anatomy/muscle studies

I have so much more to learn about drawing the human body that this will probably be the main theme for the rest of the year. Reference images from Pinterest, but I'm getting some anatomy books from the library to look at and will do some live drawing once the weather warms up.

Chicago

Theme No. 7 | Trip to Chicago.

Travel drawings from a short trip to Chicago. A bit rougher than usual. A snapshot of my trip starting at the airport, to the people on the plane, then the train. Continued by a view from my hotel room and a drawing of my lunch.

People on the Train. Blue Line. Loved the large number of students, who despite their bulky winter clothes  had great personality in their style.

The famous deep dish pizza I had for lunch and the leftovers for dinner. I'm not sure about this.

Shoes

Two drawings from last week. Trying some colored pencils, and some watercolor pencils in the second drawing done in my brand new Moleskin.
