Bridgman Hands

The site is under some reconstruction right now. It’ll be all good soon enough. In the meantime, check out these Bridgman hand studies.

Oil!

Woody — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 19:09:39 +0000

Here are four oil paintings from the end of the semester. With the final two paintings I final nailed down a lot of the thing I’ve learned this semester. It’s a good feeling.

I’m working on two more digital paintings for another class that are due tomorrow. As soon as I’m done with them I’m thinking about putting up a couple posts showing my process for them. Keep an eye open.

Working on a WWII piece in class involving FDR. Here’s a quick caricature study I did today. This guy is super difficult to caricature. This is the third one I did and the first one that remotely looks like him.

Oily waters

Two more recent oil paintings. I’m getting a lot better and having a lot more fun! Yay!

More oily buildings

Here’s some more oil paintings of buildings! The 2nd one is Black Angus in Buena Park. There were crazy people there who talked to me while I was painting. I took a better picture of the first painting (that I posted last week). I think these pictures are a (mostly) decently accurate representation of what the paintings looks like in person.

Oil slick!

Here is also my first oil painting homework assignment. It is technically the third oil painting that I started in that class, but the first one that I finished (still working on one of the first two). This is also the first one that I’ve been happy with the results. I am really enjoying this class. Looking forward to getting way better at oil painting.

Apple-icious!

Woody — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 05:39:08 +0000

Here’s my very first digital paintings ever for my digital painting class! Can you tell they are all apples? They are all done in different (digital) mediums as well. Fun!

Leg studies

Woody — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 07:31:00 +0000

I was sick last week with some sort of weird 2-day cold/fever thing, so I had to miss class. I returned this week with a vengeance! Those upper legs didn’t know what was coming!

Arm studies

Woody — Fri, 23 May 2008 07:22:00 +0000

Arm studies tonight. Again, these are all from pictures and other drawings.

Anatomy Essentials Drawing Class – May 15th Doodle Edition

Woody — Fri, 16 May 2008 07:16:00 +0000

Fun class tonight. We were using photo ref again and learning about the muscles of the back, particularly those that act on the arms. I started drawing from this one photo of some old dude. The top half of his head was cut off from the image and I felt bad for him, so I made sure to give him a whole head once again!

More torso anatomy studies

Woody — Fri, 09 May 2008 21:36:00 +0000

These were drawn from pictures. While last week we focused more on the large forms, shapes, and rhythms of the torso, last night night we focused more on the actual muscles.

Torso anatomy studies

Torso anatomy studies from cast sculptures
Charcoal pencil on newsprint
20 minutes each

Ink Studies

Woody — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 02:45:00 +0000

Here’s the finished Joseph Clement Coll ink study that I started last week. I was able to find another 20 minutes and finish up her skirt and shoes. The entire piece was inked with a crow quill. Below that you’ll find a new Bernie Wrightson study that I started in class last night, except this time the entire thing is being inked with a brush, no quill allowed.

Again, very helpful in these were the penciled outlines provided by my teacher, which are still visible in the unfinished portions of both pieces.
