figure sketch 36 w/value experiment

Live figure drawing enhanced with straight black/white/gray in photoshop in order to punch up the values.  I know I'm weak in establishing good values in my drawings.  In painting, I rely on color a lot and I know what I make often looks flat.  So, might as well start facing it head on.
Looking at it now, I think I over rendered the face too much.


Photoshop - adding values
About an hour

A little over an hour.

The model was great. He humored my request for him to do a pose smiting something. His face is a bit too kindly for smiting though.

Figure sketch 29


Live figure drawing SCC

An artist whose opinion and talent I respect very much made the comment to me tonight that I commit to my lines too quickly, making the drawing too rigid. When he said that, it made me stop and take a serious look. Perhaps he's right. Am I too influenced by wood cuts, pen-ink illustrations, and comic books when I draw?

Hey artists - any suggestions on how to "loosen up" my line without losing the realistic and illustrative integrity I love so much?
