I probably won't work up finished paintings from these sketches, I'm just woolgathering.<BR/><BR/>Scott, I appreciate your comments on the blog especially in light of the huge variety of amazing blogs you do.<BR/><BR/>Erik, you're right: comic artists have honed those skills of transposing forms better than anyone. Maybe Winsor McCay was the best of all time.<BR/><BR/>Shane, Poortvliet was in my mind, especially when I was using a sketchbook to do a portrait of Eliane's ancestor. If anyone hasn't seen In My Grandfather's House by Rien Poortvliet, I highly recommend it.James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-65781887412762100172008-10-03T12:28:00.000-04:002008-10-03T12:28:00.000-04:00These moleskin paintings are perfect travel studie...These moleskin paintings are perfect travel studies and brilliant in their own right. But I'm curious if you've packed your Open Box M and plan on doing any full on plein air paintings?<BR/><BR/>Or if not, do you ever work up any paintings from these travel sketches (and maybe some photos) when you're back in the studio?Daroohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02269629297022511462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-51184099977912733332008-10-03T10:30:00.000-04:002008-10-03T10:30:00.000-04:00Some of this stuff is reminding me of Rien Poortvl...Some of this stuff is reminding me of Rien Poortvliet.<BR/><BR/>Lush with a sense of immediacy.<BR/><BR/>=s=Shane Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05706984816021430077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-22119140953348141772008-10-03T09:20:00.000-04:002008-10-03T09:20:00.000-04:00Fantastic stuff.

Not for beginners, but a good idea in preparation of learning how to apply what you learned in model class.<BR/>Comic book artist that can't have a model posing for every single frame need such training badly.<BR/>I'll give it a try (and spread the word on both the 180 and the 90 degree rules) in my own model group.

I was always able to imagine myself from the viewpoint of other people, but I never tried drawing a model or still life from a different angle to what I saw.
