Rite of Spring

Left this rough, as usual, because not really sure what else to do with it.



I was inspired by the way people are drawn on Ancient Greek vases, with the really exaggerated muscles and defining lines. I also was trying to keep it raw-looking because of the theme. How do you make something look raw but finished?
Still had fun doing it though, might try do some more grungy stuff.

Skulls

Yes, it's been a long time again. Was on a job at work for a while that involved a lot of drawing and I just didn't fancy doing any more when I got home.

Also got back into dancing again, it's very nice to do something other than looking at a screen after a long day. I wanted to try do something arty based on the Rite of Spring, so I just did a warm up of a couple of deer skulls (sort of pagan artefacty?)





Line one did in about 5 minutes just to get an idea of what was going on, then did an attempt trying to just describe the shape with shading. Might go a bit more avant-garde for my actual drawing, in the spirit of things. Always nice to try and draw accurately when you're getting back into things though.
