Gestures & Poses

David Poe — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 16:40:24 +0000

I really liked the model this week. She did some great dynamic poses and wasn’t boring in the face during the hour-long poses.

Figure Drawing

David Poe — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 17:29:28 +0000

There are a couple of things that I haven’t done in a long time:

1) Post on my blog.

2) Go to figure drawing.

I thought I should change that this week.
Here are the two 30-minute drawings and the 45-minute drawing (labeled).

Please click on the pictures for a ‘lightbox’ screen-relative view.

This is the first 30-minute pose.

This is the second 30-minute pose.

This is the 45-minute pose.

Thanks!

IF: Fast

David Poe — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 17:30:36 +0000

The cold weather came on REALLY fast, this year.
Usually in Texas it gets gradually colder… this year it was hot, rain, cold, warmish, cold.
It’s nice.

IF: Cracked

David Poe — Sun, 24 May 2009 02:58:23 +0000

Finally got around to sketching something up.

I was doing some life drawing in Sketchbook Pro, this is my laptop charger with cracked wire-housing. I had to cover it with electrical tape.

I was finally thinking about the idea of ‘cracked’ and began sketching toward it. I have been thinking ‘comics’ lately, working on a project.
This just sort of flowed out.

Sketches!!

David Poe — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 17:05:46 +0000

I have been busy these days. Between work and fixing our house (pictures to come) I have had little time to put into personal projects. There are some new things in the works, no doubt.

Below are some sketchbook pages that I did not feel like scanning, photos will have to do.
Enjoy.

I am Iron Man | The Making of The Arc Reactor

David Poe — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 15:49:06 +0000

I was, for Halloween, Tony Stark from the ‘Iron Man’ movie. The arc reactor was made by Justin Black just for this occasion.

And now in the dark:

There are few pictures of me as iron man, that turned out well at all. I have a few more coming later in the week. These are the best ones as of right now:

Thanks.

Rorschach Inkblot sketch 01

David Poe — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 14:53:36 +0000

Rorschach Sketch 01

Browsing through amazing artwork, this past week, we came across some really nice sketching ideas; one of which was a Rorschach ink-blot-style sketch, forcing you to not only bring an image out of the colors, but also to make the whole thing non-symmetrical. This is sketch number 01.

A Colder War

David Poe — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 19:11:01 +0000

I don’t know if you are a fan of H.P. Lovecraft’s work or the Cthulhu Mythos, but I am.
This is probably the best fan-follow-up to his stories that I have ever read. It is an ‘alternate history’ time-line that supposes that the events of ‘The Mountains of Madness’ happened and Nazis found out about the alien/gods and the repercussions later during the Cold War.

Follow the link:
A Colder War
a novelette by Charles Stross

Enjoy, as I did.

Commission Piece

This was commissioned about a week ago, still some tweaks to be done before I move on to the color. I am very excited about working on this illustration!

_friends

David Poe — Fri, 16 May 2008 21:23:32 +0000

I do not remember where I came across this site, but once I did I knew I had to participate. _friends is a sortof early, under developed artist community, with no other intentions than to unite artists as friends by having their art hold hands. You (the artist) downloads the template file with hands. You draw. You give back.

As of this time, mine is not up yet; but Ill make an edit when it is.

Here is what I entered:

Uplift Universe 01

David Poe — Mon, 12 May 2008 14:05:20 +0000

Upift Universe is the current challenge given by the CGSociety. It is inspired by the Uplift Universe book series by David Brin. The challenge calls for you (the artist) to render a scene or movie clip that shows aliens and humans interacting.

I will not be entering the challenge as I do not have the free time right now, I will be doing SOMETHING as it does inspire creativity.

30 Second Tinas…

David Poe — Sun, 11 May 2008 16:29:22 +0000

We have been having a lot of discussions lately about finding time to draw. It sounds weird now, “finding the time”; there was a time that I thought that was all I would be doing… I realized yesterday that my speed drawing was..well… lacking speed. This morning Tina did a few poses for me as I sketched into PainterIX. We have both been obsessing over these digital painters, mainly caricature artists, who have a unique and interesting concept of bones and faces and details that somehow look JUST LIKE the person while completely over exaggerated. Design is in the details? A face is all about the characteristics.

Enjoy my Sunday morning (HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!!) sketches:
