BAD 18by ~EvanBryce

Fan Art / Digital Art / Drawings / Other

I was talking with one of my former students the other day about reference. I personally use extremely little reference, as in...when I do portraits...so, very little. I like to train my mind, so if I can't memorize it in a span of about 10 seconds from something I see while walking around, then I'll make it up.

It's something I've been working on since college, creating a mental visual library. Sure, things don't always look right, but it's a lot more fun. A lot of people ask me how I get so much movement in my pieces, it's from watching people and things actually move! If you have to rely on a picture of something in a still moment and don't understand the HOW in the way something moves, it creates a disconnect. You can render it all you want, but it can still be missing that bit of soul necessary to complete a work.

I didn't want to add in any textures or colors on today's piece. I like to shade, just usually don't have enough time, but this is what my pencils look like without any alteration.

Loooove the pose and the movement!
And of course, as always, love the raw pencil! <3
