I gotta' confess that I haven't touched my sketch book this week. Mostly because I'm either working on client projects or updating information for the classes I'll teach this term.
I thought I'd post these two photos since they are in the "spirit" of this blog (i.e. improving the skillz)

I'd also appreciate any thoughts on how understandable these images are. The second image is a little tricky because the idea of a shadow vanishing point (SVP2) landing on the wall isn't the most intuitive thing. (as I look at it, I might have to redo that setup for clarity)

These two pages above were done earlier today with my friend Heather at one of the parks around Portland.



The past three days of drawings that I've finally gotten around to scanning. Some random doodles, some figure drawing and a sketch on a stolen pen and coaster from a bar last night. Todays sketch will come later today.

Went out to Edgefield and the Chinese Gardens today. Lots of fun and I got some sketches done while I was out.

I notice right after I finish another drawing of this little kid that his head changes size. Need to work on that.

Here is yesterday and todays sketches. I felt like I need a break from figure drawing today. Plus, I'm sure people must get sick of me posting the same thing day after day, but I'd rather do something that benefits me instead of scribbling to fill my pages. Any-who, today I grabbed a character I did for a class about 6 months ago. He is pretty fun to draw, and its nice to come back to something I haven't touched in a while. I'm sure he'll be showing up more.

There is nothing like doing a painting just 'cause you wanna'!

Playing with more panoramic pictures. (Alliteration is sorta fun!)

Better late than never.

Giving a 360 pan layout a try. Little too heavy on the wall/corner distortion, but I think that's fixable.

9.19.10 N.Morana

Finally on a two week break! and back from a fun and busy weekend.

9.15.10 N.Morana

More figure drawing. I know I've done some of these poses before, but its still practice.

9.14.10 N.Morana

Got my daily drawing done and a good chunk of my finals done today. Success.

Another little iso study. A little more technical than the last one (you can see that I ticked off the base layer into units)

Playing with isometric perspective layouts.
Not something I typically use for my projects, but kinda cool.

Trying to work on arms, because I think mine could be better.


tried some more arms and a leg

9.12.10 N.Morana

9.11.10 N.Morana

Some more Ovi character studies.

9.10.10 N.Morana

Today and yesterdays sketches, working on some character studies. The guy on the bottom is Ovi ( heres a link to his blog for David http://www.ovinedelcu.blogspot.com/ ) and the other is from The Princess and the Frog.

 Page-o-doodles. This is what happens when students sit still long enough for me to draw them.

More images from class yesterday. These are watercolor, 5-10 minutes a piece

9.8.10 N.Morana

I realized after scanning this that I dated it wrong...

Yes, all I'm drawing right now are these made up monsters. Working from home and watching a 15 month old has killed my free time for going out and drawing. Right now my kid sees me drawing and he wants to grab the pen out of my hand. I just finished a really huge project for work so that should leave some new time for more intense studies and maybe a life drawing class or two.

9.7.10 N.Morana 02

Trying to loosen up and draw some more organic things. The first image is a combo of a couple different photo references and some imagination, and the second is loosely based off the Totoro's tree from My Neighbor Totoro.

9.7.10 N.Morana

Todays and yesterdays sketches.

9.4.10 N.Morana

Some cars and such

Yesterdays and todays sketches. Some planes from the pictures that a friend was kind enough to supply me with, seeing how I couldn't make it to the air museum.

9.2.10

Here's some class demos from yesterday's costume drawing class I teach. Each using a different approach. All were ink and/or watercolor
