Practice Study 4 - Post & Fitzgerald


Forcing myself to study the perspective and the landscapes, drawing efficient backgrounds and whatnot. This was quite a study as I really enjoyed challenging myself for a bit, playing pinpoint and connect the 'dots'. There was quite a bit on here that could've been better like the fence, the pattern of the bricks, leaves of the trees (somewhat) but overall, the basics are pretty down, I think.

Picture Study 2 - Harvey Eisenberg


Picture Study #2, still copying from the old time cartoonist Harvey Eisenberg. Okay, this copy of mine turned out a lot better than the initial copy from earlier today. However, it still has issues but not as drastic as the first copy, I'm glad to say.
- the extended arm should be down a bit
- right foot should be elevated a bit
- tail shouldn't be as extended that far out
- that last pinkie finger should be bigger
- head should be -slightly- cocked back
- the bird is off (I couldn't figure out how to find clues to place the bird)
Otherwise, these issues aren't as significant as the first copy where the character's position was way off. Adding the horizon line in the initial phase did help quite a bit and it's a tool that I can definitely pocket!
'Til next time!
Picture Study 1 - Harvey Eisenberg


Throughout the summer, I'm going to perform studies on as many illustrations as I can, seeing what I can extract from this experience. First picture of "Picture Study 1" is a panel from a comic book illustrated by cartoonist Harvey Eisenberg. Okay, let's get right into critiquing...
- the body needs to be shifted more to the right
- the cage needs to come out more
- feet and hands are too small
- jowls needs to be rounded more
- the horizon line needs to be elevated upwards on the right
- eyes should be more narrow/heightened to enforce expression some more
...and all of this resulted from not applying horizon line FIRST before I draw the entire thing, ha! I should've pinpointed my horizon line in the initial phase before everything else. I think I learned (or now remembering) this specific rule from this very first exercise already! Making some progress, I say!
Alright, onto the next picture...
