Anatomy for the Artist

I've picked up an amazing antomy book from Future Publishing called Anatomy for the Artist Volume 1. Whenever I'm taking a break from modeling in 3ds Max or Zbrush, I'll be practicing my anatomy drawing. I'm starting with arms because I can't draw arms, Yet.

Value Studies

I bought myself a set of Copic tonal markers and some rather nice Copic marker paper. I've used Kurecolor and Prismacolor markers before and they don't even compare to the quality of Copic markers. The price tag is pretty high, but they're far more forgiving than the cheaper brands.

Here's a couple of value studies I created with some help from Scott Robertson.

Freehand Perspective Practice

I've been revisting some of my foundations skills with a little help from Feng Zhu and Scott Robertson. I'm trying to do everything freehand. Scott Robertson encourages drawing thousands of freehand lines and circles until you can draw them perfectly. I've probably drawn over 500 pages of both, and inhertited some mild OCD as a result.
