It Hungers....For More!!!

Still on this drawing-buildings kick. I'm kind of flirting with the idea of taking an continuing education course in architectural drawing or Film/Stage set drafting.

Playing games and watching animation growing up, I was always more interested in the backgrounds and world design than I was the action or characters. The subject of the Myst series came up recently and I'd forgotten how all over that I was. Running around cool places without having to battle pointless monsters every 4 steps? Yeah, I can get behind that.

Sketchbook Excerpts

Blogging on a Saturday night: Officially the coolest cat you know.

Some selected results are below:

Lifedrawing Pt.2

Slowly but surely shaking out the dust... (10 or 15 min. poses)

Lifedrawing

Yeeeeeesh. I dropped into an open lifedrawing sessions at the TSA today.

It's been almost a year since I've drawn from life - while it wasn't as disastrous as it could have been, there's definitely a good layer of rust on me. Below is the best of the batch, a couple of 10 minute poses. Feels good to go back to the basics...almost makes me want to set up a still life.
