IF YOU LIKED THE FREZETTA HERE LINK....:http://frankfrazetta.org/viewimage.php?loc=frazetta_007.jpg

As you can see Frank Frezetta gives depth to the female figures, giving them curves that look just delicious. Everything about values that I've learned I will most def apply to my future drawings.(((Cuz If you notice my earlier pics those girls look flat..!!)))))

I feel really good about the progress I've made in this class. using my sketchbook as a tool has made me look at other artist, mainly Frank Frazetta for his style of naked women.. It is not only a pleasure to look but as well absorb his technique. The way he draws women (as beautiful and full bodied) inspires a kind of new sexuality in which I'd like to express through my own drawings. The pictures that I've already posted were drawn this past summer and when I drew each one I thought about how far I've come since I first decided to learn how to draw a female body. There has been an improvement on my style but i still keep it cartoony. Learning about values has made my drawings more in depth as I want my audience to feel like they could reach out and grab my drawings. ((((((I will be posting some Frank Frezetta))))))

..I haven't posted in a looong while but I have my pictures of the outside of a building location Overton Park

I HAVEN'T GOTTEN MY HANDS ON A CAMERA TO TAKE A PICTURE OF MY LANDSCAPE... xP ((maybe someone would let me borrow theirs??))

I feel really good about my self portrait using hatching. I took my time even though I applied the lines pretty fast. I thought I paid attention to the planes of value and pushed my darks and lights where they needed to be, though someone else may see something I don't....... It looks like me too.xD

Doing the night drawing was not enjoyable. I was certainly having a hard time. It's not that I don't understand the concept, it's a matter of execution. I found myself constantly moving around trying to find a composition that I could handle. There was a lot of erasing because starting over seemed like the thing to do. In fact that's how most of the homework for this class has been for me. Time is not a factor because I give myself plenty of time to knock out a drawing, it's just that the finished product is not so finished. So maybe I should spend even more time really trying to get on the paper what I see in the real world. In class I work at a nice pace but I guess when I do the homework I rush ((using that term lightly)). After trying to draw a house, tree, streetlights and garbage bins, I went with the two cars under the streetlamp. It seemed easy enough but it still needs a lot of work. xD
