Turkish Delights 2

Another pose from Turkish Delights.  I was a bit far away and had some other people in front of me.
So this is what I could see between the crowd.

More work from Live sessions

This was a digital drawing done at an Event called "Turkish Delights" in Downtown Los Angeles. 

Very interesting scene . It started at around 11 P.M. and went on for a couple of hours. 

This was I believe a 50 minute pose  with one break for the model. 

Since I was drawing/painting using my ModBook Pro I was at an advantage because the huge room was pretty dark .  but that also made for some pretty dramatic lighting which was great! 

Live Model Session in Palms , Ca.

I'm so used to painting in Photoshop that I even use it when painting in a "Fine Arts" capacity.

This is a 4 hour pose session done At the Kline Academy of Art in Palms, California . 

These are great exercises for me to do because of my work I'm usually forced to draw figures and environments with no reference to go by but my memory. 

Obviously using a model or painting from a real environment is the best way to paint or draw representative art.  But  having to create an image of a flying saucer hoisting a giant sauropod across a futuristic cityscape  can create a challenge in the live model department. 

  By the way , I'm still a big fan of Photoshop but still trying to acknowledge that Corel Painter is good too!

Sketching at Gallery Girls

I've Been going to the last several  drawing sessions at the Gnomon school in Hollywood.
They are "Gallery Girls" events put together by Jennifer Fabos Patton.
This started out as a quick sketch and was the last of the evening but I liked it so much that I started embellishing it. I only had time to do the gestures at the event but I went back into it later!

Digital pen sketching

Here's a sketch using Photoshop  but with a setting to mimic a pen and ink drawing . Just simple line with no continuous tone applied. I to draw with pen and ink . But Photoshop keeps my hands clean and I don't have a problem with an ink bottle sliding and spilling off of my slanted drawing board.
Not enough hours in the day .

Live Model sketching

Here's another sketch done in Photoshop CS6 on my Modbook at the Kline Academy of Fine Art in Culver City. The model is Lena and works with the Gallery Girls. 

This was a 4 hour pose.

 I didn't think that 4 hours was long enough to do anything but lots of black and white drawings but it was just one pose . Digital painting has its advantages like not having to wait for the paint to dry ,et cetera. But it also has it's disadvantages like showing correct color and having to deal with glare on the screen .

Sometimes not working at a consistent size gets confusing too.
