Toons on Tap: Adventure Time!

The best-ever life drawing session in town, 

Toons On Tap (designed for animators <3 nbsp="" p="">

held an "Adventure Time" session last time I was there. 

This were LOADS of fun to doodle C:

 

The following are quickies: 30 second poses

The model was awesome posing as Fiona, 

amazing poses!

the copyrights belong to Cartoon Network 

and Adventure Time (NOT ME!) 

and I am really thankful to the Toons On Tap superteam 

Laurie, Jeremy, and Jeffrey 

for having this theme :3

PS. I'm testing a label to watermark my artwork...
I think this is not a winner just yet :P
I'll be more playful with the next test!

Tutti-Frutti

I took a pink and a white bottles of acrylic paint and rushed to the cashier.

The store was about to close.

The pink one was labeled "Tutti-Frutti" (om-nom-noms, right?)

I used to avoid this colour as much as I could, but it looks very inviting now.

I made a painting with them on a little canvas. 

I used a photo I found online, just to practice.

I'll post it later, with its reference.

I also used the pink paint for the last Toons on Tap session.

Here's the outcome of that session with the tutti-frutti acrylic.

The theme was 007. These are between 2 and 10 minute long poses.

The pink panther theme started playing on the background while I drew this one.

I really need a lot more practice!

Looking for interesting things to do and learn from,

Richard suggested I tried painting silhouettes and volumes a while ago.

Just the paint and a brush.

I hadn't done it for some time, so I tried it again.

(In the end I couldn't help but throw in some black lines, though)

Thanks to Richard for the tip!

And if you ever wanna try it, you should! It's fun :)

Toons on Tap: Paris Romance

Toons on Tap:
-Is an event that runs every couple tuesdays where you can life draw models in different costumes, and have a couple drinks while you do so because it happens at the karaoke room of a bar. Every session there's a different theme, and based on it, the costumes and music for the event are chosen. I've been going for some weeks now and always enjoy it a lot. It's super inspiring!! and I would recommend anyone who likes to draw to join!! :3

Here are some of the drawings that I did on the last session. I like how this ones turned out, so I thought I'd share them :)

The theme last session was "Paris Romance". The models were Bianca Boom Boom and El Toro and they did great dynamic and emotive poses.

Hope you like them,
-Gina

Silhouettes

I started experimenting with shadow drawings by suggestion of a dear friend.

Thanks for all the inspiration Richard!

I may go do some real life-drawing this week,

 but in the meantime I used this lovely website here:

To The Left

Most of this posts were taken with my phone's camera.

I only scanned a couple of them.

So yeah... 

apologies beforehand for the low quality pictures that you are about to see.

This chameleon had a horn.

I had never seen this kind of chameleon before.

I used baby blue wax pencil color for the sketch, 

watercolors after that, and ink pens for the final touches.

I made this thinking I'd invert the colours in photoshop, so that the pen would be the light.

My knee has been hurting this days and it's hard to give it a rest...

I can't help wanting to go wander!

Experimenting with markers...
