Today I first visited a real nude art course to draw from some professional models. It's really another standard! I had to takes photos instead of scans because those are all DIN A3 (30x40). The Master said it would be even better to draw on A2 with charcoal. Below you see the best results and the last one is a collection of some scratches or "studies". My favourite one is the proning, the fourth.
Again and again I control my earned knowledge about the female curves by creating nudes from mind (first image) and then try to use some constructional rules on photo ref work (second). The more I understand the female body the easier I can copy difficult references.
On my odyssey to the perfect female curve I will from now on do some sessions on special body parts. First session is about the abdomen, or call it the waist area. I started with research on photo references and in the end the 40th hip looked quite better than the first! Thanks Mentler.
this is my daily drawing diary - watch me improve! it is dedicated in my faith in the way of the one and only >algenpfleger< who stunned everyone watching his progess over the months on conceptart.org - this guy knows it all. may the drawing will be with you!
