Male Anatomy 2


Another look at anatomy looking at shape and proportion. Also tone/ values were considered to make the image read well. Using the same model, semi naked guy with a gun. Don't read anything into that

Male Anatomy 1


Figure drawing practice. Took it further than I thought I would, drawing it up in comic-esque style. Not too happy with the foot but oh well. Blacks are also a bit uneven, especially down the LH side. One thing I have always struggled with it giving people mass/ make it look like they are actually standing which I am trying to correct. I am happy with this despite the unusual subject matter of a semi naked man with a gun.

Howard Hughes Book Project


A couple of pieces from a book produced about Howard Hughes. The book took the idea of real life events happening as films, and consisted of poster format artworks such as these. The project ended up being very computer based.
