Academy Style - in digital form

I thought I'd apply the method of figure drawing we learned at the Illustration Academy to digital art. This was a fun experiment and I love the way it works. You focus on shape and silhouette rather than line and edge. A good way to "train your brain."

I really like those glasses, don't I? hah!

done in PS CS3

more sketchbook pages

Here's a collection of various sketches from the past few weeks. The pages include the Academy, airport sketches, and a trip to borders/various.

FAST figure drawing with George Pratt

Figure drawing with George Pratt is probably one of the most fun and challenging experiences - you do lots of 5 second gestures and exercises like drawing the right side of the figure with your right hand and the left side with your left hand at the same time with 2 different colors ("falling water" exercise - do it)! This man knows his stuff, and I had a lot of fun in the sessions.

here at the academy we have had figure drawing twice a week, and i thought I'd start posting some of my drawings from the sessions...
