Bridgman Sketches - Feb. 16

Well, this is it. This page is the last of my Bridgman sketches. I started on June 18, 2007 and finished today, February 16, 2008 2009. That's almost exactly 20 months. It took up 238 pages in an 8.5"x11" sketchbook, and 13 pages in an 11"x14" sketchbook, for 251 pages total (although some of those pages were drawn out of other books, I don't know how many pages were solely Bridgman sketches).



So now, like I said a while ago, I'm going to draw a few of my favorite characters for a while and then start in on a Loomis book. Maybe in a couple years I'll try drawing through this book again and seeing if I can't improve upon my first attempt.

I got myself a new sketchbook recently, this one's 11x14 instead of 8.5x11 like my old one. Since it's twice the size, I'm only doing half a page a day instead of a full page, and so I'll be updating this blog every other day instead of every day. Here are the scans for the last four days.

My house was out of power this week, so I spent a few days at my girlfriend's place. I didn't bring my scanner with me, so today I'm playing catch-up with all my daily warm-ups.

Here's a few more Bridgman sketches I've done in the last few weeks. The last one in the post is my one-hundredth page of Bridgman sketches.

More Bridgman Sketches

One of these is from a Jack Hamm book, but the other eight are all Bridgmans. Click them to make bigger.

Three more Bridgman sketches

For those that have no idea what these are, I'm making my way through George Bridgman's Complete Guide to Drawing From Life and drawing every picture in the book. I'm about a third of the way through now and I've been working at it for a little over a year. Click on these to make 'em bigger.

Bridgman sketches!

Now we're all caught up on these Bridgman sketches.

Catching up on Bridgman sketches

I've been continuing to do these sketches since my website went down in December, but haven't been able to post them for obvious reasons.

Some More of These Bridgman Sketches

I haven't posted any in a while. I kind of doubt anybody cares to look at these; at least, I wouldn't care to look at anybody else doing them. They're more exercises than anything else, but I guess I put 'em up to prove I actually am doing them.

A lot of Bridgman drawings

Bridgman, nudes

I haven't been able to keep up with my Bridgman sketches because of my computer issues (I only have a PDF of the book, not a paper copy), but here's a sketch from the book I did weeks ago. Now that I've got my computer back, I'm going to start this back up again.



And in the meantime I did sketches out of a couple nude pose books I have ("The Figure in Motion" and "The Nude Figure").
