It's Inktober!

It's been a long break for me, but my family and I have finally settled into our new home. Now, to get back into the swing of things, time to plunge into Inktober! One ink drawing a day for the entire month. Glad to be back!!

Cops and Robbers

  Since Dave Pimentel left DreamWorks awhile back, Rad Sechrist and I have taken over his post as instructors of the biweekly gesture drawing class.  It's been an awesome and humbling experience, both to follow in Dave's footsteps, and to learn from Rad while teaching with him.  Here are some drawings that I made during last Wednesday's session.

I begin with these quickie warm-ups, usually under or around a minute.  These end up being some of my favorite drawings of the day--no time to fuss, only enough time to get a feeling down.

Lucky day!  We happen to have a lithe, angular model--which is great because I feel like drawing with straights, and only straights

(possibly as a remnant of having made these drawings a few days prior).

 

Then we get into some "longer" two-minute poses.  By this point, I'm becoming more and more interested in the graphic qualities of the costume,

sometimes completely ignoring the rest of the figure.
