I'll check that out since it sounds like a recommendation and compliment. Hogarth's anatomy books steered me wrong when I was a teen - took years to right the wrongs and break the bad habits. Figure drawing, Bridgeman, Loomis, etc. helped bunches.
I think you subtract plenty with your drawings. Not many artists have as much personality, style, sensitivity and touch while simplifying areas of tone. Most get a scratchy, uneven, stiff, low-contrast look. Not you, General Jody. You good.
Down the chimney, down the hatch!
ReplyDeleteGreat drawing!
wow, That is tough style for me to do and you did beautifully!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tim. Good slogan!
ReplyDeleteYou're too kind, Jody. Why difficult - you think more in shades/tone?
It could be from an unwritten of Burne Hogarth's "Dynamic Light & Shade".
ReplyDelete... unwritten chapter, CHAPTER! Can't believe I left out a word.

Yeah, I think in full rendered detail and when it comes to subtracting, that is the hard part for me.
