Figure Studies

More practice figure studies.  Gotta keep ma brain all limber and stretchid-like.

Made using the Figure Drawing Gesture Tool.

Anchor Lady

Another drawing finished.  First design to incorporate anchors!  I've been browsing through a lot of tattoo-specific image-collecting websites and taking note of the recurring themes, on the assumption that these will be primary subjects when I (hopefully) am tattooing with a machine myself.  As far as self-criticism goes, I feel like the lady's anatomy is pretty wonky, and the anchor could have had stronger symmetry.  But on the plus side, my line-work is improving in confidence, and my designs are more consistently complex.
     My friend Dustin also pointed me to the works of Sean Morgan, of Scarab Body Arts in Syracuse, NY.  Though he is still apprenticing there, his body of work is quite strong, and I'm totally digging some of his layered wavy skull-things.  Totally cool.  Gonna have to try some of that soon.

Tracer!

No, I do not have any images to share today, but that is not to say that I have been unproductive.  On the contrary, this day has been pretty busy.  Signed up for jobs to keep the ship floating, hung with friends and made a mean barbecue, and, yes, that most derided of art tasks- tracing.  My linework is too shaky, and they (sparkle greysuit monkey mooks) told me to practice by tracing.  So I started some of that.  Woo.  Oh, wait.  I lied.  I did some figure studies using the Figure Study Drawing Tool.  Good to keep in practice with something different.
