Much can be said about experiments with mediums that work for you.

The Images to date more to come

So l am doing a lot to step back up my web presence and l am working on posting higher quality picture for my latest finished work. I have posted some new images on twitter and facebook.

Much is Happening

I am doing a lot of work and also push my understanding a concept of thought towards figure drawing. I am pushing performance and have had the privilege of working with like minded or open to the concept models.

Going to be writing.....

Ok so l know l have been fairly absent but l hope l am not forgotten. I am being productive and making much progress in all that l have been discussing on this blog spot. Soon there shall be a website. I am also going to be writing for http://www.tvjerry.com/.

Also l shall be posting more about the Hill Gallery & Studio l am working for and with. I am going to be also providing more input as to my process towards drawing and my progress in painting. I have much to post and shall make more of a habit to do so. This is going to be a big year. Thank you all that have been following.  

Finally on Tweeter and more on my Sketch book Adventures

Ok so I finally gave in to the mass media and fun to be had...... Yes I am referring to twitter. It is going to be my main vehicle for showing my progress and pushing what I have been doing out there.

Also a hint at some of the things I am doing to push forward and form my language in art and communicate my own individual sense. Many collaborations are happening and I am going to push the limits of what I am doing and go beyond. Please Follow my Twitter I shall be up to date on it much more.

Double Model Poses and Exploring Performance, Presence and Subtext Mindset

I have been working pretty hard to get things done had the fortune of working with some double models and shall post the larger work up in the near future.

 

 

 

 Poses were 11 minutes or less. Focused on moments and how to present them.

 

 

 

Also did this pose of five minutes but the model intentionally moved when they felt into another pose then back. Model would do this several times between the two poses during the five minutes of drawing time. This was my best effort. This was a suggestion by an artist, model, musican and outdoors man Matthew Marinello. Will keep this up if possible.

 



Experimenting With Contor and Line Tone and Value and sometimes Line absence..

I have been exploring in two minutes what I can do to give a feeling of space. I have been aiming to make the line move and use the same figure to also create and after image and suggest a larger group doing and activity. I feel the first image shown is the best I have done in a two minute drawing. The figure are rested but the lighter line and the slight angled difference suggest being in different areas of the same space. This has been fun to explore.

 

 

 

Also the difference between and heavy tone line and a light line makes them feel more like broken up shapes that fit just right.

 Simple lines are the most fun and can suggest a moment before another action when done right. The image below I feel suggests such a moment.

This model has made tremendous progress in terms of being comfortable. Simple poses are the best and can suggest a lot. Pentel ink pens are my favorite brand of calligraphy or drawing pens. That is Brush, Needle point, Fine tip or otherwise.

Sometimes if the model is relaxed and comfortable l will just draw them as they are taking a break much more natural.

More Experiments and Chalk Marker Fun

So I have been doing a lot of experimenting with chalk markers and different inks and seeing the different shades they can create. Also have had fun with Sumi ink and suggest by Thomas Van Auken great artist and posts on Face Book check him out.

 

 

Time was between 5 to 12 minutes for each. Really enjoying the experimenting.
