Studies of Michael Loos

sketches fun experiment no ref playing around using elbow and shoulder to get some more precision... been doing a lot like these lately and it does help experiment no ref experiment and fun Ain't much to say... I'm experimenting some more, could show a few more things but I'm just 2 lazy for that now. Anyway I'm really looking forward to publish that damn batch of 24 Animal studies... maybe next week but certainly the week after that^^ got to keep working. :) have a great on guys

Hi there. this weeks studies.. well those i want to show anyway... there is a bit of a stack of digital studies piling up for a class project, but i'm gonna show those later when that project is finished. So here are some fun study games. I forgot one ... well maybe next week then Have a greate one guys  :)

Yes so there it is 1/4 of the way. I'll now use this occasion to reflect on the past 200 days. I started out with these goals: 1# To Create a stunning diploma, that I can be proud of and that could be sold with good consciousness. (The Work within that diploma is supposed to be my portfolio). 2# To become super healthy and super fit. Which means that during these 800 days I want to do sports almost every day even if it is just 15 minutes of crunches and push-ups(weekends excluded). And to lose 25lbs for good, doing so. 3# To get a lot more organized and to work with more discipline. Looking back to the start I can't help but wonder what keeps changing my spirit. The answer is easy, its myself. Those are some strange revelations. The design Academy's workload is going insane on me. And I really hate some of these assignments, denying it is futile.  Getting it done wasn't quite as easy as i'd hoped 200 days ago, infact some of those assignments are still goin...

some card-concepts for class applying the Loomis method on photo-studies I'm saving the talk and digital studies for Saturday. That'll be day 200... there are a few things to say. have a greate one :)

Alright it's Thursday again. This week i turned in a website assignment for class(about 12hrs of codeing)... well now that thats done, i got around to do some more studies. Head studies. I'm just not good enough at drawing yet... the painterly approach, I am most confident using, leaves so much room to cheat my way out of fundamental mistakes in early stages... I don't want that. Well I've given the Loomis-method, for drawing the head, a shot. Watched Proko's tutorials like a hundred times for that. They are now like imprinted on my hard drive. It's still kind of hard and feels somewhat alien, but I definitively  felt improvement with it today. Decide yourself :) . Ya.. Was losening up, and doodling around trying some new positions to hold the tablet in, when i recognized those shapes as, Emperor Pilaf from Dragon Ball. Just pushed them some more and gave em a little personal twist. Very fast that one. Post 200 is coming up fast, so I'll ran...

This post is a quick one. Terribly buisy with artschool this week.

Another Week goes by, here are the things I've done these past 6 Days, minus another Cover in progress, I'll post next week. Still want to work on it a few more days. So far so good. I think its time to sit down and decide on a technique to push, so i finish more work faster... A few of my instructors still confuse me, but i'll just keep doing what i do. Their critique is usually useful once i understand what they mean and how to implement it into my approach. The Time is getting close where I have to start sketching for my diploma or it wont turn out as planned. I feel my work benefits greatly from the new schedule(I get up at 6am, go to bed at about 10:30pm), plus I'm feeling more happy and healthy with it, too. So here they come, four studies, done right in the Morning. #1 #2 #3 #4 The ref for them is all taken from mjranum-stock . On the Third one I failed, because I overslept a bit. There are shortcomings within all of them though. I see some of them too. Person...
