figure sculpture stuff

When asked about casting, my sculture professor said "You want to cast something? But that would take a whole day! You could sculpt another figure in that time!"

new and old

started to revisit an old piece last night and started to paint up a sketch I had laying around

simpler stuff

some quick sketches going back to a more simplified style I was experimenting with about a year ago

paper doll

John begged me to draw him a female adventurer-type character for him to sculpt. Orthos and an awesome motorcycle will be forthcoming.

doodle

quick, random doodles. I'd love to take a more painterly approach more often, but something about the brushes I was using made Photoshop crash repeatedly. ughhhh

male figure

I always find myself wishing I had much more time to work on these before class ended and I had to tear them down........ I wish I could at least get to the point of adding some detail

a few more sketches from the exhibit

st. Francis Borgia

I took a train down to DC today with my figure sculpture class and sketched some of the crazy statues in the 1500-1600's Spanish art traveling exhibit. The exhibit included works by Velasquez, Pedro de Mena and some of their contemporaries.

I'm really enjoying my figure sculpture class. All we do is sculpt from life for 6 hours, then tear everything down only to start again. Every day. It's so awesome.

first illust of semester

So, the first piece I had to do for my Illustration Concepts II class this semester was a long spot for an NYT article about the Haiti disaster. Everyone else got lighthearted articles....
