Here's a bunch of my sketches from the last week. I've been studying a lot of You Yoshinari's work and trying to integrate it into what I draw. A few of these (5th & 6th from the left) are direct studies, and a few I took poses and tried to overlay my own clothing on top (1st & 4th from left).<br />
<br />
The man is a master of gesture, rhythm, and cool shapes so I've been working on those as of late.</div>

Earlier this year I sold my laptop and used that moolah to help fund a cintiq companion. I had mainly just been using it for digital coffee shop sketching, but recently I took it out to the zoo and it was a blast to use. I quickly learned I need to draw more animals to prevent them from looking so amorphous and without structure, but it was loads of fun!</div>

I've seen a bunch of people do these over the years but I never really got around to it. Lately I've been kind of confused when working concerning what I'm working towards and putting this together seems to give me some ideas on what I enjoy in art and what I'd like to emulate and develop personally.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Looking at this image as a whole, I can come up with 3 definitive influences I'd like to focus on more:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Clean, bold, and painterly strokes/shapes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Vibrant, harmonious, and deliberate color choices</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Believable and dramatic lighting</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Started just as a sketch and developed into some rim light practice. I learned I really need to practice different lighting conditions more than anything else. This was fun though!</div>

Started as a basic uninspired sketch of a tomboyish baseball girl, but after coming back to render most of it I started playing around with making it more supernatural this came as a result.</div>

Living in Colorado I get amazing mountain views every day. I did this study off a photo I took earlier in the summer and I'm fairly happy with how it turned out. Working on getting some good brushwork in my digital work so it doesn't feel so...bleh.</div>

Doing more figure practice and gesture drawing. Decided to sit down and do a proper figure study since it's been a while. I made ample use of the mixer brush tool this time around and it REALLY allows a level of polish I didn't know how to achieve earlier! So cool! I'm not too thrilled with the hands so I'll probably start doing more direct hand studies.</div>

Value studies are always awesomely fun. I used to do them a LOT more when I was out in San Fran and somewhat forgot how useful they are. Focusing on values really is so crucial and something about not having to worry about color is damn relaxing. Kept these pretty short.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm now noticing the background is a bit too bright on mine and the right foreground could probably be darkened up a bit. I love the atmosphere in this one though, the enveloping light, humidity, and warmth are super cinematic.</div>

I went through a bunch of photos I took in Japan and decided a lot of them would be great study material. Expect more.<br />
