Figure Drawing Dump #1 2007

So this weekend I headed down to UVU for a Children's Writers and Illustrator's Conference and I had a great time! I got to meet some great artists David Small, Will Terry, Guy Francis, and Nathan Hale. I also met up with my friend Jen Tolman from college and I also got to meet some fellow bloggers. It was a great weekend.
Well part of the conference there was a figure drawing workshop. While taking pics of my drawings I decided to take pictures of the rest of my figure drawings for digitizing purposes. After rifling through MOUNDS of figure drawings I decided to just take pictures of the following because they where either somewhat decent or they held some sort of meaning to me.
I also realized this weekend that if there was a profession where you just got to draw figures all day every day then that would be my dream job....o wait there is.....a figure drawing teacher.....hmmmm

These are from the conference:



Here are some old ones from school:

So these are from my first year at BYU-I...gotta love the modest models....(that was sarcastic) Hopefully I don't ever have to draw a girls torso cause then I would be really stuck. Jk it wasn't too bad. This was a period of time where i couldn't tell the difference between stylization and realism...yikes! Consequently out came a lot of funky proportions.

I like bums...its actually quite an ideal lifestyle...
scavenging for food, sleeping anywhere, no need for a shower...
bums are underrated
