Lots of training!! (updated)

While doing these studies, I always try to incorporate some form of guide into them.  In some cases, even in my gesture drawings (though im pretty sure that defeats the purpose of a gesture drawing but it's ok)  This is important to me because it really helps give me a general idea of the 3d space the figure is taking up.  Something that I dont feel I would be learning if I merely drew the lines of the figures.  I need to see them as shapes.  And since I started using these guides I've learned that some guides seem to really be better than others.  So I decided to take some time to figure out which guide is the best for me.  I drew a few of them, changed up a few of them, and even switched ideas from one to another.  While I haven't came up with a definitive answer as to which one I like the most just yet, it was a nice exercise to actually sit down and study these guides as apposed to just throwing them down before a drawing.

I drew a picture for a Shaunzy in an art trade a while back but wasn't happy  with the end result.  I tried to give that same picture another try.  I just looked everywhere for the original picture but I cant seem to find it...  Nevertheless, here is the newer one.

I started this Megaman from Battle Network but I stopped for some reason, not sure why.  No doubt I'll go back and touch it up and finish it but this is what I did so far.

Next i switched to rage faces...  Rage faces wat?  I dunno XD  They didn't turn out too shabby.

And I believe the livestream footage started right about here.  I wanted to do some nontimed studies of the human figure.  I used http://lovecastle.org/draw/  as image reference for the next few.

I rather like how these turned out.  I can see little flaws, but I can also see areas I did pretty good on.  All in time.  All in time.


Lastly, before I ended the stream, a friend wanted me to draw a metabot.
So I did MetaBee :D! Reference from google images.

Then I gave him a fro.

I'm proud of all the time I put into this today.
More training tomorrow!
