I found this gem of an exercise while looking for sketchbook flip through on youtube. He calls it peanut drawings, it's really worth checking out. Basically you draw a bunch of peanut shapes, then you can turn them into torsos and stuff, just to get going drawing. Definitely gonna watch through more of his videos now besides the sketchbook ones which are awesome for inspiration;)

( My first attempt, a chaos of torsos )

Current Mood: cheerful

I just found that the SF & Fantasy digital art magazine ImagineFX offers free PDFs of quite a number of tutorial articles on their site. I don't paint digitally much, but some of these seem quite interesting.

I found this via the Lines and Colors blog: It's two Youtube videos (both in multiple parts) of Stephen Bisette (comic artist of Swamp Thing) teaching his inking techniques in a lecture at the Center for Cartoon Studies, and I thought it fascinating to see:

First video: part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, part 6, part 7, part 8, part 9

Second video: part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, part 6, part 7, part 8, part 9

If you haven't seen Pose Maniacs you should check them out. The link is to the random pose viewer, but they also have a 30 second draw a random pose app (though it doesn't work for me - might just be me, I don't know).

Small note: it seems like 90% of the women are in "sexy" poses, which is kind of annoying (that also might just be me, though).

Overall, I've been finding it helpful and low-pressure, easy to do some quick sketches.

Many have probably already seen this tutorial, but I found it really useful to help me understand steam engine parts better and with making steampunk machine drawings look somewhat plausible:

It's hard to practice when all you want to do is to hang upside down on a tree.
