Porta anatomy from memory

Something along those lines...

Camping in Ontario

Went car camping with some friends this weekend at Rondeau Provincial Park in Ontario. 

^This tree^ was by our campsite. Saw some pretty cool fossils on the beach:

Beach painting

 

Great way to spend a Sunday.

Finished a pad of newsprint

Online portrait course, complete!

Wrapped up Vitruvian Fine Art Studio's online portrait course, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The commentary is saturated with tasty morsels of wisdom and insight into a logical approach to portrait drawing. Having the critique extension made a big difference in the outcome.

I can't wait to go through the videos again on a new piece. Highly recommended.

Newsprint, vine, gestures

Done at OCAD Wednesday night life drawing sessions.

Cloth studies

I thought these might be good warm-ups for some traditional surgical illustrations I am working on. The piles of cloth folds and layers of anatomical tissues present a similar challenge–a visual path of details to navigate with a cautious eye.

Skull base with 123Dcatch

Here is my first try using Autodesk's 123Dcatch app, which builds a 3D mesh out of a series of photos. Pretty amazing, there is huge potential here, and I can't wait to start using this app for work!

Dorysthenes Walkeri

I attended an Insect Drawing Workshop at a place called Nook today, taught by Kathryn Chorney, a professor at Sheridan. It was a very pleasant way to spend a Sunday afternoon!

I went for a beetle, Dorysthenes Walkeri.

Theatrical transformations teaching transection techniques

Long pose after a long hiatus
