Hi. Being a Onest person will tell you ! The sketch of the girl is by troy a x art
Student 1 st put in to get comments but got none ;) so coloured it like
Picasso blue period cos troy tells me he dreams a lot thought it would give him
A laugh Juz that's troy u picked out a 1 min sketch I done as he was sketching
Me ok. His work looked to me like a a cross of Dali Scheil Aubri Breasley I
Liked it so asked for a sketch so I could copy so I got the girl, Caesar
If I see girls like that on my Bus I know that I'm in heaven or he'll if I paint
Her in red ?? Think I'll give it a go But don't think the Pope would like it ok
Caesar
07-27-2011, 11:02 PM
Dear ATPlus the Old, we're full of nude ladies paintings here since many centuries, including in churches and I don't think the Pope will object (he's got nude people also in the Sixtin Chapel).
I wouldn't rather Queen Victoria or the present Queen sticks You on the hand! :D
If You've got permission the, go on any color!
eighty+
07-28-2011, 04:03 AM
Hail O Caesar O mighty one. Thanks. I'm pleased about the Pope want
Mind. As there nudes all over hIs palaces. So another one would not be
Noticed ok I'll try in red just to please him downstairs. Ok
By the way I'm not a royalist but quite happy she's there

That one for Troy. . . couldn't be Helen, could it. Not the very same face that sank 1000 ships. Bloody hell. . . hahaha
Seventy-Nine, lad, you're like a documentary film maker around the time of Andy Warhol, who would go around New York City filming his experiences. I feel as if I am seeing the world composed of characters (no situations) through your eyes -- being like a reality show of people through still pictures.
Like watching the river flow, with a leaf or twig suspended on the surface, being pulled along. It infers trees, but not necessarily any one in particular. More like detached references to situations in other places. That is sorta like the bus experience as well, isn't it. People who clearly have connection in other places popped out of context for the duration of the ride. That is reflected in the pictures you grab.
It's interesting to watch, perhaps because of the references to their lives through the grab, that your faithful devotion to a photographic rendering has become less important, and you are capturing something else conceptually, less visually slavish. And it may lead to yet some other manifestation in your artistic process. One needn't always be aware consciously of all the levels one is operating on for it to be going on. Just a thought. One observer to the other.
Well done. I love your journey.

How groovy is this! Great range with your folk. Seems like you have a bit of Lautrec seeking your pencil. Just don't get Tolouse with your line. . . hahah. Alright, was merely a way to use that joke. My first college art teacher used it and I thought it hilarious.
All humor aside, and since I am not there listening in, the humor may never have appeared at all, but assuming it made you chuckle. . .
I think that your stylizations are taking on some of Toulouse Lautrec's sketch qualities. You definitely have the voice of an observer/interactive audience participant watching the show. And you are distorting the appearances ever so much. Not wildly (with the obvious exceptions of the 3 Graces and so on), but in a way that is distinct to your experiences. I also see some humor and other editorial reactions to what you're painting.
Mixing and matching styles and so on in an experimental way and coming back to what you normally do, in fact seems to be modifying your normal approach in a good way. It's as if you are growing out of the old skin. . . or someone else's stiff old skin and taking on your own, supple, youthful one that gives you freedom of movement. Very nice work, 79. I'm observing you, owing to your flexibility, 78 and getting younger all the time, with this invigorating batch. Mind if I call you Lautrec 78?

My wife teaches grade school and even within the school they have very strict rules about photographing pupils without the written approval of the parents for good reason. However, in the big picture, the world's a screwy place to be sure.
So we abide, give you the brush and paint you red like the back up lights on a work truck. Just doing your business. Fair warning. Artist at large. On the up side it could probably get you some work around the Christmas Season as well with that fine white beard of yours.
So all that said, now talking about the adults you have been depicting, they're great. I am sort of jealous that Kenmo beat me to the joke as I was going to ask which bus line you travel. :D I'll have to take it if I ever visit the UK.
I think you have a good knack for the human figure especially in the context of a concentrated focus like a drawing class. The forms work well, and the outer shapes are intriguing. It all implies pretty fair proportionate volume without interior lay-in marks. I think it shot you into a higher place with your observation. Just keep drawing nekkid people and we'll merit you into the After Nine forum yet! Something to shoot for.
That Tolouse pose -- WOO HOOO!!!!!!!!!!! Great! You might have done the original it looks so right. And your collection of portraits, looks awesome. Lots of great character and your voice seems to be slipping into them in a harmonious way. A bit like singing some common songs down the pub with some folk that wandered in. . . that is to say metaphorically speaking. I can look at these pics and 'hear' the different voices in harmony with you 'voice' - sympathetic, not at odds, these, yet full of character. As to the real world, that takes some ability to read a scene and know how open it is to active participation with the real people you're depicting. It can be nice when it works. I expect in short order you can be giving us lessons in that.
So well done you! Keep going. It's showing a lot of progress in skill and regression in age, my friend.

Wow! Boy are you a natural for studio drawings. Nice when you're actually allowed to stare and can look, and consider, and analyze. . . which ain't always so easy on the fly. . . or on the bus. . .
So how long are you given for these poses? When I did studio classes, it was roughly one minute poses, then two minutes, five, then ten, and extended from there for the balance of the class.
And. . . and I need to know. . . is that a self-portrait with the reversed red hat, as ya told us you were to be wearing? Representing the scarlet badge of notoriety like the dangerous roaming eye, a loose sketch pad, will travel sort?
Right! Well, I'm keeping my eye on you, lad. . . especially if you keep up this subject matter. Clearly you know where the drawings grow.
Oh, and from before, loved the sheer "too loose" garment on that lass with the very long black gloves. One has to admire a woman who would offer such great pair of silhouettes to the artist. :D Very funny, my dear chap.

Hi D Akey about 8 mins I like the bit about standing staring consider and
analyze cos I just smashem out like bus sketching :cool::D but think its
what that art teacher bloke said take a sketch pad with you and sketch all the time and suddenly you will be able to sketch anything thats where the 3 master's come in as they told me to look more closely and polish hope I'm moving in that derection ? looks like I'll have to go and have a chat with my old mate the Reaper see if I can get a time allowance, that was to be fun s/portrait
showing me in the red hat but ( suddenly it was my dad) :eek::eek::eek:

08-13-2011, 11:54 AM
Nothing wrong with bashing em out if that's your comfortable method. Only thing is that the in-studio models should hold still for ya, and you get a better angle than on a bus or restaurant or classroom. I used to be really good at sketching the back of people's heads owing to that being how the chairs or seats usually seemed to be situated. You at least seem to show some faces with your sketching.
But nude models were good cause if I was done with the pose from one angle I could just move to another seat and have a whole new picture possibility. Although for some reason that rarely happened. They were changing poses faster than I could grab em, cause there always seemed to be a bit more detail I could add. Most times I wished they could go back for another minute. So the speed thing kept me from getting too detailed.
An argument for bashing em out would be it keeps ya honest with first impressions. The only real downside is if they seem to get to looking the same (down the road). Changing the speed of the drawing is one way to break out into something new.
But so long as it's working for ya to draw fast, I say go for it until it no longer serves ya. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, sez I and an awful lot of folk. On the other hand, for early maintenance, if it begins grinding, could do with a lube job as well.
You cracked me up with suddenly finding your self-portrait turning into your dad! Hahahahaha. Eighty+ the Younger?

By the see by the see by the beautiful scene. . .
Fine work, Mister Plus.
And yet they all look so ruddy British, don't they, wot?
I particularly like the ones that have a tone in the top. For some reason it seems that the use of tone as opposed to just line switches on a more value oriented languaging. I'm just seeing this could be, not that you are taking it where it could go. But your touching it a little.
On another front, just for fun and variety, with a figure or where you see something where lighting creates its own foundation, have you thought perhaps of reading the gesture, and broadly slapping in a middle value with a rapid swash or two, and then working in a line and eraser kind of approach to pull out just enough definition to make it read?
It's kinda cool in that the form reveals itself by emerging as opposed to going in and putting things where you see them. Creates a little implied breathing space where not all had to be 'completed'. You may be pleasantly surprised with how much can be said with how little information. The mind sort of fills in what's not there if it's only led a little of the way. So a broad swath of tone can imply the whole in only that.
Like in swordsmanship, that initial curved swoosh or whisk/flick/zap gets the job done. And in the drawing, thereafter you can add bits of detail as you choose. And believe me, it's surprising how effective and artistic all at once that can be. When you get fluid with it, it's amazing how quick you can get. Not a bad thing for a sketch artist.
In that kind of drawing, it then becomes the art of what to include and what to leave out, rather than it being about trying to include everything which may or may not get it done.
Clearly some of your drawings are very full feeling and transmit a very respectable visual. But you had to more or less submit an itemized list of what made that person up. And that's just fine. But this is simply another idea.
