DigitaLeon Illustrations

I know it's been forever since I've updated the blog, so, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and all the good stuff. It's been forever, so I'm throwing out some new sketches, and ideas. Bound to be more on the horizon, let's just hope it's not for another year.  : [ 

The 30 day challenge is up! I've learned a lot from these days of drawing gestures. While, I feel that I still have a long way to go, I will continue to learn and improve a little more each day. Now, to go and do something completely different. 

About 8 more days left. Not completely sure I've improved at the gestures so much, but in comparison to day 1, I feel a lot more comfortable within a smaller time frame figuring out the line of motion for each gesture, and my lines do seem a little more confident, with a lot less of the shaky lines while trying to draw the contour correctly. I already know, that after these 30 days are up, there's still going to be a lot more to practice.

Well! Due to certain events I wasn't able to do the last two days. But do not fret, because I've taken the time and done them all the keep right on track! I will not lose track of this 30 days of gestures. No matter what comes up. :)

A two in one day special! Because I forgot to post one yesterday!  

Day seven of drawing gestures! I know the pictures aren't too great of quality, for today I wanted to complete them in a more traditional style, rather than digital drawings. I had to take a picture of them, as the pages were waay to big for my scanner. Many more days to go, sometimes I really do wonder if these gestures will help improve my figure drawing, and develop my drawing skills to a newer level. Only time and continued practice will tell.

Another day of gestures! :)

Made it to day two! Let me tell you..sometimes these aren't as easy as they look. The trick is finding the line of action, within about 2 seconds of beginning the drawing. Which can be thought of as an imaginary line representing the spine. Then quickly set the positions for the major body parts, the pelvis, torso and head, and so on.
