While there are some parts of this figure that are unfinished I think that overall this is a good figure. I would have liked to have finished the arms and the face but I ran out of time.

A couple of quick perspective sketches. The second one was done at home on my art desk so it's much cleaner and more finished.

 I'm not sure where this character came from. She some kind of fantasy character and an archer but I don't remember any thing else about her.

Okay I've cleaned out a lot of the old stuff and tomorrow I'll be back to posting paintings.

 I like the way this one came out, it's got some issues with the edges and there are no nipples but other than that I like it. I even was able to get around to making the face look half decent.

 So most of these sketches were done while I was on the bus or while I was waiting for the bus, so none of these are finished. So this one was kind of inspired by Sherlock Holmes and his relationship with Irene Adler.

 These two characters are from the John Carter of Mars series of books. The man is a white martian and the woman is my re imagining of Dejah Thoris, instead of being a helpless princess she is a military officer who's father is the ruler of Helium. I tried to make her less of a fan service character while still being true to the source material.

 An angel and a demon. I've wanted to paint a fight scene between these two for a long time but every time I start I get stuck on one thing of another then I get distracted. Eventually I'll it done.

A reinterpretation of Zelda as a tech based super hero. I gave her some cool gauntlets and boots, I also tried to incorporate some of the symbols from the game .

 I like the contrast in this one. There are some issues with some of the anatomy but most of them are minor. I really like some of the highlights and the way the overall pose came out.

So I'm going to be cleaning out some of my older drawings over the next couple of days. These are from Andrew Loomis' book Figure Drawing For All It's Worth. It's a great book for learning anatomy from and some thing that should every artist should read and learn from.

 Well defined muscles always slow me down when I paint a a well defined figure. If I had spent about ten more minutes on the figure it would have come out a lot better.

It's a scary deep sea fish. I love this guys eyes and his teeth they were fun to paint and overall I pretty happy with this painting.

 I don't think that I had my coffee when I did this figure. Its more unfinished than most of my other figure drawings, it looks like I spent about fifteen minutes on it as opposed to thirty. That said there are some things about this figure that I do like, the pose itself is good and gets across the way the model was balanced and there is some nice lighting around the face and neck. Not every figure can be great but I just have to keep plugging away and eventually mistakes like this will be a thing of the past.

Some sort of jet engine maybe? Another mechanical study and I'm not thrilled with this one, I did't really have a plan of attack going into this one and it shows. I think that in the near future I'll do more of these kind of studies because of how much I struggled with this.

I really like how this one came out. The model here was pretty thin so the ribs and shoulder muscles really stood out. I think that I have a lot of nice contrast on the model and some nice highlights. Not bad for 30 minutes.

Another foreshortening study. I was having some issues with the edges on this one, they look to sharp and crisp in some areas making the figure look like it was cut from another painting. I also think that I had some issues with the face and the feet. despite those issue I like the way this one turned out for the most part.

This ended up being more of a light study than an anatomy study but I think that I came out pretty good. This skin looks shiny and the contrast between the highlights and the shadows gives the whole thing a very dramatic look. Sadly the feet and the face where neglected in this one but other than that I am happy with this figure.

I was going to try and do this one in color but I got caught up in painting all the folds so I never got around to it. There is so much going on in the fabric that it was hard to tell where to start and how to proceed in general. Because of that this one remains mostly unfinished but I think that I was headed in the right direction.
