- Special studies of heads hands and feet in addition to keeping up with my gestural figure drawings and beginning to do actual timed gesture sketches
- Charcoal drawings on newsprint, some quick some more fully developed, with an emphasis on learning how to orchestrate edges and values
- Special studies into clothing, weapons and landscapes
- Continue studies in composition
- A lot of sketchbook drawings of characters, people and things in general
- Start planning paintings using thumbnails and color comps
This is a personal journal documenting my studies in art - mainly just a place to keep notes and to organize my thoughts better than I could in a handwritten journal (you can't do a search in a paper journal, or post live links). My ultimate goal is oil painting, but I want to start with developing my grasp of the basics in drawing.

Resolution
Not really my New Year's Resolutions, though they do coincide with the new year. It's my goals for the next phase of my development.

Mike, going through your blog posts and I see how much you have developed your drawing and painting skills. Thats amazing!! I especially like your drawings. The ones with Falcon pen looks great. I read that you have had hard time getting used to using Falcon pen but believe me you are doing great with it.
ReplyDeleteHeroic fantasy art is something I am not familiar with. You are working hard to accomplish fantasy art in oil painting. Keep up the good work my friend.
I see that there are many useful articles and tutorial videos you posted here. I will be following up and going through the old ones. What I am currently doing -automata- is something totally different but sometimes I really need to try developing my drawing skills. You know I am a graphic designer and getting of rid of that graphic style at least a bit will help me a lot.
All the best again from an old friend and wishing you a happy new year full of art!
Hi Yaz, it's great to hear from you in here!! Haha, thanks for the vote on confidence on my Falcon drawings - I still don't think most of them are very good, but I will keep trying, trust me - I do love that pen. A happy new year to you as well, full of automata!! I notice you have a section by that name on your blog, but there's nothing there yet!!??
