ill bring this shit back to life momentarily with some "classic" art. figure drawing baby...straight conte, charcoal, and a naked person.
always starting with a bit of warmup stuff first, we have out 2 minute poses. obviously 2 minutes isnt enough time to do much, but just recently i taught myself to stop making sketchy line-drawings and start using the conte like its meant to be used. on all edges, making awesomely fluid gestural lines and shapes. heres some 5 minute "shape drawing" poses...the point is to draw as few actual lines as possible, and be able to add value in the 5 minutes [Broken External Image]:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v479/squareone/shapedrawing1.jpg then the exact opposite...5 minute poses in which we try to fill in the shapes of the figure as LITTLE as possible, leaving what should look like an accurate sillhouette with only the most obvious details filled in very quickly
then some longer poses, done with either toned manilla paper (to achieve more contrast by working down the value scale with conte, and working up by erasing), regular manilla paper with just black conte/charcoal, or with black + a little white for highlights, or on mmid-tone (grey) paper with b&w. i didnt actually have enough time during the poses (30-60 minutes) to finish....most of htese are about half as finished as id like them to be...ill touch them up as much as i can from memory just for myself.

i have some charcoals i might upload. i like legitimate art so much more than graff, but dont really get a chance to show it off.
if you only like illustrated stuff you're a retard. but heres what yer looking for i guess...itsi all been on here before at one point or another, probably. but this time everything should stay up...i no longer rely on deviantart.com all the stuff mounted on orange was my portfolio done in february over about 3 days....mostly 1 night
i dig all those character heads (not the samurai ones)... i used to be into realism, then i got tired of it, it bored me.
wow, thats truely amaizing square, i would love to learn how to do that stuff, it really intrests me, are u in an art university or collage? and car2nist, how can u say u get board of realizm, and u dont get board of doing the same cartoon character with small differences over and over again , a little odd if u ask me
university, working towards a bachelor of fine arts, with time spent at the ocad Florence campus learning italian art history while drawing/painting all the beautiful sights it has to offer. if anybody here thinks they're really good at one thing or another....i thought i was pretty good at drawing my little faces and occasionally drawing something in front of me a few months ago. but even the first 2 weeks of classes brought me into contact with new things, new concepts, and showed me how narrow my focus had been. i never bothered doing figure drawing in conte/charcoal before, id never used white to highlight, or toned my paper. or mixed paint for value and saturation scales, or drawn proper technical projections, etc.... im already 10x better than when i started in september, and thats nothing compared to what the next 4 years could do. still, in my opinion, the best long pose figure drawing ive done, and that was in the first class...and only my second time using conte. thats everything i have in digital form, i think.
u think??, how bout a paint battle then? 100 bucks says either i'll win, or you'll bitch out and square, i was wondering if its possible to take university classes like that with out accually being in university :huh: i dunno how that works, but your stuffs real impressive, makes me wanna learn more!
if you live in a big city, you can definitely find pay-as-you-go live model drawing sessions, but unlike in a university there would be no guarantees as to the quality of the models and there would be no professional instruction or 1 on 1 help in most of them (freelance art lessons are very hit-and-miss for obvious reasons). best to get into an art institute somewhere and take advantage of their studios.
ya that'd be nice, maybe after i take my high school equivilency test i could get hooked up in that damn schooling system........
