A little uninspired but I liked loosening up my lines. I've been struggling with legs for too long now.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_e4ucqcXdSEY/Rw-NwmY1S8I/AAAAAAAAAAk/C8iMwTc5bmA/s1600-h/ManStride.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_e4ucqcXdSEY/Rw-NwmY1S8I/AAAAAAAAAAk/C8iMwTc5bmA/s400/ManStride.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5120467167421483970" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_e4ucqcXdSEY/Rw-MfWY1S7I/AAAAAAAAAAc/WlGYzsbltRE/s1600-h/LadyStride.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_e4ucqcXdSEY/Rw-MfWY1S7I/AAAAAAAAAAc/WlGYzsbltRE/s400/LadyStride.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5120465771557112754" border="0" /></a><br /><br />It's like I plateaued when I was 16, all I need is to push.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3391392709778242845-5000301841716372799?l=frognettle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>FrogNettlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03241515996566569694noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3391392709778242845.post-67877363171529719242007-10-11T17:42:00.000-07:002008-12-08T19:17:39.584-08:00This is kind of a big deal for me starting this blog. It represents a commitment that I've been putting off for ever, but now it has begun.<br /><br />I got all excited by ashess' blog (http://ashess.blogspot.com/) and decided to finally put myself to task on this art thing. Anyways there's more to say but nothings coming... more art!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_e4ucqcXdSEY/Rw7Y2WY1S6I/AAAAAAAAAAU/W23WyOfRU5g/s1600-h/Pen+Sketches.bmp"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_e4ucqcXdSEY/Rw7Y2WY1S6I/AAAAAAAAAAU/W23WyOfRU5g/s400/Pen+Sketches.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5120268254601104290" border="0" /></a><br />I found this little pen that allowed me to control the line width much better than with bics, which I'm so accustomed to using. I don't think I will ever go back if I can help it.<br /><br />I started to notice that my drawings lack any depth so I went ahead and tried to find ways of defining it. As you can see I tried a number of different methods in one image (which probably violates some art tenet somewhere) just trying to experiment. These pictures where found flipping through http://www.fotosearch.com.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_e4ucqcXdSEY/Rw7UyWY1S5I/AAAAAAAAAAM/KbFn4P9VQEc/s1600-h/Hands+fine.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_e4ucqcXdSEY/Rw7UyWY1S5I/AAAAAAAAAAM/KbFn4P9VQEc/s400/Hands+fine.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5120263787835116434" border="0" /></a><br />These hands of mine were an attempt to define shape/volume/depth with little lines. Mostly intuition was used but now I realize I need to find some direction and guidance to achieve a more realistic approach.<br /><br />all drawings done with a sanford pen on printer paper :(<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3391392709778242845-6787736317152971924?l=frognettle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>FrogNettlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03241515996566569694noreply@blogger.com0
