Description Here's some more life drawing done from photo ref. I got the reference for the top sheet from , the reference for the bottom sheet was a gay erotic site which I won't be linking for obvious reasons... the photos on there had some pretty sweet lighting though...

Done with mechanical pencil, HB lead, on size A4 paper.

By the way! Thanks for all the critique you guys sent my way about the last life drawing update. I know that I didn't implement all of them in this update (although in some cases it wasn't possible, for example if the whole figure wasn't even included in the ref), but I swear I haven't forgotten - real life drawing class tomorrow, so I'll be putting them to good use there.

i'm working on a design, for the Science's week at my university. I have an idea, a hand holding a bulb. I can send you a photo of the sketchi made, i'm asking you to give me some advices about the anatomy of the hand, or making a quick sketch of it, but with correct anatomy so i have an example...

Why don't you just look at your own hand?

i have tryed, but it's so hard for me to draw something i see from real life. that's why i was asking you. But if you can't no worry, i understand. I'll just try my best

Well sorry but yeah I am pretty busy with all sorts of things at the moment. If you're having problems try to break the things you see down into simpler shapes and build the final drawing up from there. I don't really know what else to say to that, just practice a whole lot I guess.

WOW! dood your sense of lighting is great, referenced or not, you have defiantly captured some really nice moods and drama within these studies. Nice work.

Really nice. You got the lighting and form down really good!

What you mentioned about the reference reminded me of my old Life Drawing courses as well, my old instructor said a good reference for life drawing or getting the human form down in many poses is in Nudie mags and Strip clubs lol

I was a learner then, so I didn't mind the instruction, but most of the younger less experienced people giggled. If it's good reference, then use it. Because it will make you better at drawing.

Cheers!

Hahaha, well, yeah those are indeed an option! As long as one doesn't limit oneself to these things alone.
