AngelJ - awesome! Thanks for sharing and accepting the mission!

Thanks for putting these together for us Ryan. Can’t wait for the next installments!!

Ryan,

Another excellent lil movie/article. The best part of it is the fact you mention you also test poses as you make them. I thought I was the only one to do stuff like that but it makes perfect sense considering its the best built in reference universally all artists have at their finger tips. Many thanks for sharing your reference collection on motion, with todays online video technology its definitely a great use for artists!!

I tell you, I am a major fan of Wordpress, our blogging platform. It has been nothing but useful to us and has some very powerful features. :slight_smile:

Thank you for all the comments and support!

Thanks Ryan, these are great.

Hello Folks! Over the weekend I started a new drawing practice: drawing from YouTube!

It all came about after I encountered some fantastic books that talk about painters from the 1880’s, and on, and photography.

Well, needless to say, it opened some doors for me and, in need of some cheap models, I think I found a fantastic source: YouTube! :slight_smile:

Here is one of my quick sketches:

I am always on the look out for ways to merge new media with older processes and lately, I have been sketching alot more than I have for awhile. While sketching I have been using information from Andrew Loomis, Kevin Chen and Glen Vilppu to help me quickly describe form.

This new post looks at how we can combine sketching with sculpting. A theme, I will continue for some time. :slight_smile:

Hello! I have put up a post on using reference that includes one of my recent encaustic paintings.

Using reference is an important part of an artist’s life and I have spent the last week or so really looking into ways that we can make the most out of the reference available to us as artists as well as find ways to grow as artists from it.

I hope you enjoy it and Happy ZBrushing!

Ryan

Hello Everyone!

I have spent some serious time looking at a slightly new way to work with image planes and roughing in your model.

I have completed the first two parts:

Let me know what you guys and gals think! :slight_smile:

Best,

Ryan

Thanks so much for the tut’s. :+1:

i think your blog is awesome and suspect i will find myself spending a significant amount of time there today!

Geeez Ryan! I thought I was gonna get some work done today!! I knew I shouldn’t have looked in here!

Your stuff keeps getting better mate, this is becoming a hell of a reference (as I predicted) I guess despite my daily moaning I should be grateful theres no Mac version yet
 At least I get SOME work done! :wink:

Keep it up mate!
