GUEST - Richard MacDonald

 

 

 

 

 

Twice during my recent travels have I had the chance to stand speechless in front of Richard MacDonald sculptures. His sense of anatomy, equilibrium and movement is simply perfect. 

And of course, the man can draw.

The Apprentice

Portrait Milk Kilim

Still practising portraits with color pencils.
For this one the reference is a photo from Milk, a children magazine (here).
I am not sure about the shadows, though they are true to the original picture.

Also I am planning to change the template of the blog, but I have not yet found enough time to finalize it ! The layout will change a bit during the coming weeks (or months).

Thanks for visiting ^_^

Dr Sketchy - Le Manoir Abracadabrant

For those of you who visit regularly, you must have noticed that I have not been drawing a lot during the last few months. The reason is simple: the end of my Phd approaches, and the associated work load increases every week since last October. Thankfully the end is close (next April). 

Also I have been working on a wedding and birth announcement card for a friend, that I do not wish to show here. And last but not least, I want to produce less but better work !
   

I was delighted to participate to the last Dr Scketchy  session that took place at Médiathèque Georges Brassens in Paris (Bourget) this week end. I was beginning to miss the glorious models and costumes, as well as the creative atmosphere. All these sketches are 5 or 10 minutes poses.
