Fresh Figure Drawings for January 2018 (D)

Back to business, here are January's #figuredrawingFriday selections, featuring, what else?

My most popular TGS art on Instagram, and noticed by Zendaya herself!

 

A couple that were neglected, after a brief Instagram chat interaction with the Strongman actor

Not how I originally envisioned doing this scene, though I did love to try a multi-colored gesture!

Fresh Figure Drawings for December 2017 (D)

Catching up on #figuredrawingFriday posts!  I thought I had already posted these.

More development of the previous because I didn't like how the gestures turned out.

Inspired by a certain movie's release and J's light saber gestures of yore.

No ref (obviously)

The beginning of the obsession

Three Ladies and Mister Carlyle (D)

I really need to get J in here to post some of her Greatest Showman arts, they are really marvelous.  But in the meantime, here's a series of three ladies in fabulous costumes and varying moods, followed by a handsome fellow in a tuxedo.

Never, never!

This Is She! 

Breathtaking View

 I was having so much trouble with this one that I almost gave up completely pretty early on but I'm glad I stuck it out.

Sketch version 2 (version 1 will never see the light of day).  Even relying heavily on ref I find his face very challenging to get right.

You Can't Stop It (D)

Last night I finished the last 20 minutes of Hairspray Live! on the old DVR. What, doesn't it take you over a year to watch a televised version of one of your favorite musicals?

Fresh Figure Drawings for November 2017 (D)

After a brief hiatus after Inktober (post still pending!), I was glad to get back into #figuredrawingFriday.  You can see all of these including the many dancers referenced on Instagram @drewgrahamart.

Inspired by Ballet West's Carmina Burana

More Carmina Burana

Superhero or supervillain?  You decide.  Ref: Instagram @b.haze.l

ArtCorgi Fitness Commissions (D)

One more and I'll be (more or less!) caught up.  I recently updated my offered styles on ArtCorgi to include simpler, dynamic options, such as these, each commissioned by their significant others:

To Rachel, from Michael

To Someone, from Aly

They were quicker and fun and you can always count on dancers and athletes for dynamic poses.

ArtCorgi Couple Commissions (D)

(Wrote this almost a week ago and forgot to publish over the weekend!  Bah.)

I'm a little behind in posting stuff here (you can always find up-to-date posts on Instagram @drewgrahamart and @hinkypunkstation) but then I can post a few at once!  Apparently I'm one of a few go-to ArtCorgi artists clients pick for engagement/anniversary gifts, which is a niche I'm more than happy to fit into.

March 2017, Aaron and Jennifer.  In the photo they sent this looked great as a canvas print!

April 2017, Lee and wife.  It was great to do a different style.

June 2017, Eric and Molly.  Apparently he commissioned a few artists and picked the one he liked best (which wasn't mine but that's okay).

I have a few more, ArtCorgi and otherwise, but these will do for now!

Fresh Figure Drawings for September 2017 (D)

I included ladies this month!  And with these, I'm caught up in my Figure Drawing Friday posts.

Exploration of a shot from the previous week

Inktober is starting in a few days so I'm not sure if there will be much time for my usual things, so look for more of these later in the fall.

Commissions Aplenty (D)

Aaaaand here are some recent commissions from the last few months to round things out.  All very different projects from different sources.

Anniversary preset from Rachel to Jermiah, two great Survivor friends!

A totally different kind of proposal piece.  Her hair went through two extreme color changes (I left off most of the text because it seemed personal, and also... it's in Spanish). 

Cover art for a single written as the theme to a one-woman show in London (commissioned by a friend of Kimberley from the Great British Baking Show, who saw my drawing of her and contacted me... you just never know).

Dancing BFFs via Instagram.

I have a few more to catch up but I'll leave them for next week.  I love the variety of work I've been commissioned to do lately!

Fresh Figure Drawings for June/July 2017 (D)

June was a pretty busy with Little Man making his appearance so I only had a few Figure Drawing Fridays for a couple months.

I jumped back in for August, so I'll share those later next month, and now I'm all caught up!
