Day 13 : Male Torso Thumbnails

Here’s a thumbnail collection of the male torso in different perspectives.

Day 12 : The Torso

Very, very quick sketch of the male torso. Like I said, I’ve literally no time these days! Though every opportunity I am getting to sketch I’m really enjoying it. It’s such a nice breather.

This is a sketch based on this model. He is very much one of my all-time favourite models and his Chippendale Barbarian style get up really tickles me. I really need to know his name?

I have done a lot of sketching today, but it’s been character ideas so it’s been more focused on design as opposed to drawing. I’ll upload some works when they’re less rough.

Day 11 : Male Body Type Study

Today our Character Art module started and I got given the brief of creating an “under nourished character”. That’s it. I already have a tonne of ideas where to go with this, but I figured the best bet is to start at the very fundamentals. Therefore, I’ve done a study of the male form in varying degrees of starvation. I didn’t use any reference in this study so it could be a little off.

The study is only for the male form as, not only are my ideas for either males or robots, I prefer to draw this form because I can draw it better (I know, that’s bad, I should improve the areas I’m weak at, but there is plenty of time for that when my degree doesn’t hang off it!).

Day 1 : Introduction

Hello all! This is a place where I intend to upload a daily sketch in order to improve my skills and track my progress.

I’ll mainly be uploading figure and anatomical studies, but I shall also dabble in character designs.

I am currently a student at the University of Salford studying Computer and Video Games with aspirations of becoming a Character Artist within the games industry.

You can also find me on Tumblr, where mainly upload digital paintings and 3d works. LinkedIn, for a shortened version of my resume. And my personal Twitter, if you wish to get to know me better.

Below is a figure study of the male form. Reference taken from Sarah Simblet’s Anatomy for the Artist.

I would greatly appreciate any advice or tips people have to offer in order to help me on my journey.
