Bird’s 100-Day Figure Drawing and Anatomy Challenge

[Bird]

Days 34 and 35: Studied different proportional canons and their application to box forms/maquettes in perspective. Working on a bunch of quick sketches (50+, 5-20 mins) for one of the assignments for the Russian figure drawing class. Here are two that I took a bit further as part of that effort.

Day 36: Long day, so a figure fragment done to relax and unwind.

[Bird]

Day 37 and 38: Playing around with tonal quick sketch, but using different rendering techniques and processes.

Days 39, 40 and 41: Have been traveling and dealing with some family issues, so have been mostly confined to quick sketch and experimenting with some new techniques (which are a bit of a work in progress).

[Bird]

Day 42: Gesture drawing turned into an anatomy study.

 

[Bird]

Day 43: More figure drawing (plus some study of Bammes and Oosti).

Enjoying your posts. I’m going to watch your progress with Procreate. It’s the main program I use for digital images and I want to get better at it.
Good job!

Thanks, I’m getting more familiar with it, have been experimenting a lot, and am starting to get it a bit more dialed in. Love the convenience of using the iPad.

Have been posting on Discord due to the image uploader for these forums not working, now up to Day 47. Hope to post the work at some point.
