The Drawing Club x2

I'm two weeks behind with posting from the Drawing Club. So I'm posting two in one post, from Sept. 4th and Sept. 11th. The Sept. 4th theme was the 80's Aerobic Instructor. The music was classic 80's music and they had Jane Fonda's workout video going on in the background. Here are what that produced:

The Sept. 11th theme was the gangster fall guy. I'm not sure what music was playing and can't remember what the movie was exactly. But the model was an old guy that appeared to be the guy the mobsters had on call to do the dirty work. He was physically different then any of the other guys we've drawn. But his choices of poses weren't that great. I really didn't have that many drawings from that night. But here are what I do have:

The Drawing Club - Aug. 28th

I know I'm late in posting these, but with the holiday weekend I just didn't get around to it. So now I am. This week's theme was a Japanese Gangster. It was the same guy from the Kung Fu Master. He did a little better, but not sure I'll go the next time he's the model, just don't feel his poses are worth the $20. But I tried to do the best I could with them. Anyways, here're the results!

The Drawing Club - Aug. 21st

Tonight's Drawing Club theme was the "French Maid" with the classic comedy/who-dunnit "Clue" playing in the background. The model was really good. I think she was a previous character (Audry Hepburn). Each week I have extremes of "I'm getting this stuff figured out" to "I'm freakn' never gonna figure this stuff out" while I'm drawing. But it never fails that when I get home and scan the drawings in, I find positives that I didn't see before. I'm really trying to just develop as a draftsman and do realize there are things that need to become second hand when I draw.

Here are tonight's highlights: (Click on the images to see larger versions)









Until laterz!

ps. This is also my 100th post for my "DakotaKid Corral" blog!! WHOO HOO!! Here's to 100 more!

The Drawing Club - Aug. 14th

This last week's theme was Circus Ringleader, with the movie inspiration being the Oscar winner, "Greatest Show on Earth". It was a tough week for me. The model was almost always straight forward and really didn't do much. Thus, most of my shots are the same angles..even when I picked up and moved around. Frustrating..but whatever. Move on to next week!

Here are some samples: (Click on the image to see a larger version)

The Drawing Club - Aug. 7th

This weeks theme was "Accidental Tourist". There was a lot to the costume and character, sometimes too much for the time with each pose. But after the beginning sketches, I got into the groove. I had a few drawings toward the end that I just really got into. All in all..some more good choices for my portfolio.

The Drawing Club - July 31

Tonight's Drawing Club was "El Luchador" the Mexican wrestler. It was slow at the start for me. I was afraid it was gonna be a repeat of two weeks ago..but he started getting into better poses as the night went on. But even better was my understanding of form. I know...that's something I should have gotten through my skull back in undergraduate. I guess it's true, if you don't use it..you lose it. Good thing you can get it back!

Anyways..here's some sketches from tonight! Enjoy!

The Drawing Club - July 25

This week's Drawing Club theme was Audrey Hepburn in "Roman Holiday" & "Breakfast at Tiffany's". I felt much better about this weeks time. Last week was a tough one, but last night proved that with a good model, you can get some decent work. I'm still working on getting the face details to work. I'll be honest, I was aiming at a traditional Disney heroine look for the face..some worked..others not so much. Take a look! (click on image to see a larger version)
