Poem for Wook :)Sequestered in my memories
I see a life not unlike a dream
Coming to me through beams of light
I see the sin in every thought
Keeping me from falling
Drowning in a pool of darkness
Seeing the failure of those who came before
Watching as they scream their warning at me
Recalling a cleaner time
Pour forth the energies of another soul
Keep my head from drifting
Tossing in a sea of memory

Anatomy study: Male sideby =Spyke1985

Traditional Art / Drawings / People

Aaaaand yet more anatomy sketches. This one I'm a wee bit proud of, even though I didn't even get close to getting his torso muscles on there. His arms look fabulous to me, and that face profile ain't half bad either.

In case anyone happens to be wondering, all these sketches are the result of me FINALLY getting an anatomy drawing book to read. YAYYYYYYY!!!!!!!

Seriously happy about this development, as my figure drawing up until this point has just been.... dismal.

Now, most of these sketches were done within 30 minutes or so, this one was done in about 24. They're rough as hell, but I'm loving them, because I'm FINALLY DRAWING BODIES PEOPLE!

Not that I won't draw faces anymore, but I'll be able to expand into whole scene drawing now. FINALLY. Well, soon anyway.

Ok, enough of my rambling... for now.

helpful critiques/suggestions welcome!

It seems as though you're less hesitant with your male anatomy studies than your female ones. The bicep rendering is much more refined here, and it looks like you're grasping the concept of how the muscles beneath the skin form the figure. If you're not using studies during these sketches (while drawing from life is hands down the best practice, using pictures is also very helpful) I would highly recommend it. It also looks like you took care in the gentle curve of the jawline, getting the spatial relations of the "underchin," throat, and back of the head proportionate. Very well done. The place I got lost most when following this form was the right shoulder; it seems as though, if you start from the neck down, it's leading into a broad shoulder where suddenly shoulder and shoulder blade are two separate pieces. It might be that pesky perspective is the perp, or that you didn't want to sacrifice the well-formed bicep for the inclusion of the back muscles. Overall very nice work here and I can't wait to see your work continue to develop!

What do you think?
