Life drawings from photoreference: high-res scans #167
🕑 Added 2022-12-05 14:01:02 +0000 UTCWellp, the time has finally arrived for single-set posts of life drawings from random photoreference, as my once seemingly endless supply of sets from near-daily work in 2017 has dwindled down to a sadly diminished number. I'll probably wind up posting these single-image sets more often than the older double sets, and I'll likely make some effort at further commentary on each.
OTOH, this particular set features plenty of written commentary, so this time around I'll let the sketch page itself do the blithering. UPDATE #1: In that walk cycle reffed from the Tamara Drewe trailer (at the 0:48 mark here), note that distinctive fold of cloth switching back and forth as she walks, which is something I have never, ever seen an artist draw, given that it's a feature pretty much only seen on a figure in mid-stride motion. UPDATE #2: Just recalled that the famously booty-enthusiastic mangaka Masakazu Katsura did, in fact, depict that "switching fold" effect at some point in his old manga DNA², but I dunno where my copy of that volume might be lurking.
Below, enjoy the higher-res, raw and untweaked grayscale scan as a TIF attachment. (BTW, that's a TIF—or TIFF, if you prefer—rather than a PSD because now my up-to-date version of Photoshop can't show me a thumbnail image preview of a PSD, thanks to some charming interaction between Photoshop and Windows 10.)
NEXT TIME ON THIS HERE PATREON: I'm assembling November's Life Drawing posts all at once in late October, so I have no idea what's coming up in our next M/W/F slot as yet. Let's find out together, shall we?

Great art !! I've seen that trailer before so thanks for the reminder. It looks like I was not as focused as you were.
