Life Drawing

Today's model is middle-aged and saggy, which is awesome. It's been awhile since I drew saggy skin, it's fascinating. I wish I had the whole 3 hours just rendering one pose, really get those skin folds right.

Bottles

Studies have two bottles I have.

Life Drawing

I have a feeling that different models makes me draw differently. This model makes me draw better for some reason, it's very strange.

Bunny loves Duckie

Bunny loves taking baths with Duckies.

Bunny likes to squeeze it under water,

and quirt the water from high up, making a Duckie shower,

and imagine a giant Duckie is squirting deadly poisonous liquid over the city and Bunny has to run for its life!

Life Drawing

The model today has very beautiful poses and great body, slightly off proportion. Very lyrical and poetic.

Life Drawing

Driving to the life drawing today, I'm truly appreciating the warm and sunny Westcoast after a week of frigid Boston .

A Week in Boston 3

This is the hotel we stayed at, The Liberty Hotel, it used to be a county jail, now is a fancy happening place.

There were so many wicket trees in that Public Park, this one was conveniently situated at a sunny spot that happens to have a bench right besides. Some very fat squirrels were watching my drawing with their judgmental beady eyes.

This was a view from a Gelato Cafe, the main reasons for choosing this spot was a) heating b) hot chocolate c) heating.

A Week in Boston 2

As seen at the Public Garden next to Boston Common, what a statue of man-on-horse looks like:

And what realman-on-horse ACTUALLY looks like:

(Sorry, park ranger)
And the horse pooped a lot.

A Week in Boston 1

This is the first time I saw East Coast America, and boy did their architecture impress! I was very taken with their old school brick buildings and I even sat out in zero degree temperature for hours to draw it. Me who don't even step out into my yard during California Winter would froze a butt off and shiver in the wind in Boston in February? go figure. Well it was either that or be bored out of my mind in the hotel room. Plus I thought I should seize the opportunity to embody a true artist's spirit by roughing it in nature, endure physical pain and weird glances from passerby and squirrels, and producing meaning pieces of artwork that will be enjoyed by generations! Having Starbucks nearby for hot chocolate and bathroom doesn't hurt too.

Life Drawing

Today's model was very tall with long limbs.

Life Drawing

Today's model was a magnificent specimen of a man. The ladies in the drawing group were pleased, and not just because he had superb poses.

Ships Ahoy!

Bunny bought the new Ships Ahoy Lunchable pack.

There's ship toasts, ship cheese, ship lettuce, and ship ham.

Bunny constructs it carefully.

While eating it bunny imagined swimming with the ship in the sea!

Life Drawing

First life drawing class after New Year. It feels good to start drawing again.

Koi Mutant Render

This is my latest texturing work using Mari, Modo and Photoshop. I was reading The Hunger Games series while I did these so I fashioned him into a mutant who was part of the capital's experiment on combining human and animal, in this case Koi fish. They habituates and terrorizes lakes and ponds, using their glamorous scales as bait to sneak up and devour their victims.

Bon Voyage!

Bunny is off on a trip to the land of glowing pumpkin trees!

Figure Drawing

This week's figure drawing.. there isn't one next week due to thanksgiving.

Doll Face

I was watching "The Man Who Cried" and there was this shot of Christina Ricci at the end with that cold lighting that I found very inspiring. I took a few screen shots and used photoshop to help figure out some base color combos in oil and painted this. I've always loved this type of heart shaped, doll like face. I messed with her face proportion a bit and she actually looks a bit like Lily Cole now.

Long Time No Figure Drawing

I really missed figure drawing, luckily I found this small art gallery in Los Gatos that organize it once a week. $16 + tips, a bit expensive but I think it's worth it. It's quite close to my house and it's a very pleasant and short drive to get there. And the folks there were surprisingly friendly, I thought I was back in canada for awhile.
