Sketch a day 24

Final day of my first class at Sadie Valerie atelier. Had a wonderful time. Really enjoyed meeting a couple other students there and talking with our instructor James Edmonds. I learned a lot and look forward to taking another class.

Sketch a day 17

Well I dis two posts Thursday , but nothing Friday so I will make up another by this weekend. Having a blast with my son and was driving and visiting a museum and relatives all day yesterday. Today I will post figure drawing week 5. Only one week left!

sketch a day 4 / Atelier Week 3

So today is week 3 of my 6 week Saturday class at Sadie Valeri Atelier in San Francisco. I am having a wonderful time there. I have always wanted to work on my anatomy and rendering ability and accuracy. There is nothing better than have 6 - 3 hour long sessions of the same pose so you can really match what your eye is seeing. This will have to count as my sketch of the day as well.

Aunt Pat and Uncle Neil

Some sketches I did up with the family.

Crowdstar Figure Drawing 4Aug2011

We had an excellent model again this Thursday. That helpful hula hoop is perfect for measuring distance and seeing negative shapes between the figure and the perimeter of the circle. Looks very much like an illustration framing device in these drawings.

Figure Drawing from Early December

Another great session at Crowdstar with a wonderful model from the famed Bay Area Models Guild

Dr Sketchy SF

Fun night down at 111 Minna with Dr Sketchy's and Sketch Tuesday where several artists created art and sold it immediately before spending there earnings at the bar for some great entertainment!

Figure Drawing at Crowdstar Nov 4th

Thanks to Crowdstar, we had an excellent model last Thursday from the Bay Area Models Guild.
All of our models are members, but I mention it to spread the word about a sort of competition to submit any artwork done from a BAMG member since 1946. This is the longest running guild of its kind in the United States and helps create the Renaissance of art that has happened in the San Francisco Bay Area since World War II. Your submission could be featured in the book they are compiling. Even if you don't get selected, you $5 fee will go toward supporting this excellent cause. Others who are submitting are Bay Area fine artists from all backgrounds, including my favorite company, Industrial Light & Magic, as well as Pixar, and perhaps Crowdstar! The deadline is December 31st, 2010.

Some Vignettes and a WIP Comp of Chaos

I have been learning terrific concepts in The Art Department class I am taking in composition. Here are some vignettes where I am trying to work the ideas of shape design, tonal pattern, overlap, and general composition out. Then I started a personal project as an abstract design, using alchemy as a base, then have been trying to sketch it up into a mythical battle scene.

Motosketch

We had a terrific model who did 3 costume changes. She posed all over the nice Custom Harley and was dressed in period costume of the 1920s. Each month I look forward toward Darnel putting this event together.

Cuddly Lady Sketch

Took out a sketch I did a while back and tried some rendering techniques from Brad Rigney's tutorial "Hostile Takeover". This is still definitely more of a sketch, but I may turn it into a more tightly finished piece.

May motosketch

Had a great time at another wonderful Motosketch. Thanks Darnel, for organizing these wonderful events, every 3rd Sunday at the Tosca Cafe in North Beach, San Francisco!
