Gustav Klimt - Studies

This past weekend I checked out Gustav Klimt's "The Magic of Line" exhibit at The Getty. It was cool to see the exhibit was geared more towards his sketches. I've always been a fan of the thought process before a finished piece. The exhibit is up until the 23rd of September. I highly recommend stopping by The Getty to view his work. Above are a few sketch studies I did at the exhibit.

Doctor - Gesture Drawing

August has been a month filled with surprises I must say. One more class left. I've definitely enjoyed my time at the Animation Guild. It's been a humbling experience. Above are quick sketches from last night. A very interesting topic. It was fun sketching this model. I used copic markers, a pentel stylo pen & a pentel brush pen. 3-5 minute poses.

Sketchbook - Yosemite

This past weekend I visited Yosemite. I haven't been back since I was a kid. I was fortunate enough to get a sketch in during one of our hikes up to Nevada Falls. That day was jammed packed with weird weather. Sunny one minute then thunder and showers the next. Luckily the weather the next day was perfect during my hike up to Half Dome (which btw was an amazing experience). I hope to make this an annual trip every summer.

Gesture Drawings

Here are some 3-5 min sketches from Mark's gesture class

last night. Kudos to the model & her amazing poses.

I used copic markers, a pentel stylo pen & a pentel

brush pen.

Gesture Drawing

Here's a 5min ink sketch from Mark McDonnell's Gesture Drawing

class @ The Animation Guild. I have to admit... this is a tough class

for me. I'm used to 10+ minute life drawings. The average time

we get for poses vary from 30sec to 5min. So far I'm loving the class.

It's definitely a humbling experience.

G.O.A.T.

process:

If you know me well, you would know that I'm a huge

basketball fan. Although my favorite team is the Lakers, I grew up

during the Air Jordan era. Who could argue against the 6 rings,

5 time mvp, rookie of the year & the list goes on. Here's my

rendition of Jordan's famous 2nd Slam Dunk Championship & he

happens to be wearing the classic III's. Greatest of all time...

Zebra Quick Sketches

I met up with some friends at the zoo today. Surprisingly it wasn't

packed. The weather was nice but standing directly in the sunlight

was excruciating. Nonetheless it was a fun few hours and

the sketches below were the only ones worth posting.

Time to enjoy the rest of the day. Peace.
