Meathead by Nicolas Martinez

My process of drawing him, starting with acing the main construction, and checking after each stage.

My final clean-up.

Preston Blair Puppies by Christine

How are these?

Head Construction Studies by Christine 2

I took Joey's advice and just worked on the constructions without the details this week. How am I doing?

Preston Blair Dogs

I think I still need a lot of work on these. Tips and suggestions appreciated!

Lesson 11 by Caleb

Here's my lesson 11. His cranium is too small at the top because the original egg shape was off, among other things. Below is the same face drawn over 2 years ago.

Lesson 9 & 10 by Caleb

For these 2 lessons I wanted to focus on drawing smaller, quicker, and not checking them with the original to train my eyes better. I inked my 2 favorites in regular black pen. I'm glad to be done with the egg man lessons but I will still draw them when warming up, etc. There's so much to learn from those seemingly simple lines and shapes.

Here's my latest crack at those Preston Blair heads. How am I doing?

Lesson 3 by Nicolas

This is my  final attempt at Lesson 3. The biggest challenge was trying to capture the right angle, but I think it turned out okay.

All other attempts.

Critiques are welcome.

Lesson 2 (Cleaner lines) by Nicolas Martinez

I've recently completed lesson 2.

I redrew the egghead with cleaner lines. I don't have Photoshop, Illustrator, or a Wacom tablet, so I just did it the old fashioned way.

Critiques are welcome.

Lesson 2 by Nicolas Martinez

Here's my crack at Lesson 2. Things went pretty smoothly.

Lesson 1 by Nicolas Martinez (continued)

Hi. Here are some more Egghead attempts. Sometimes, I would draw little note on details (like wrinkles, mouth shapes, how eyes curve, etc.) after every attempt. And that improved my work quite effectively.

4th attempt.

5th attempt.

All 5 original drawings.

Lesson 1 by Nicolas Martinez

Howdy, Y'all. I've attempted Lesson 1 with the first egghead guy. I made three attempts on one sheet of paper and made the notes/experiments/improvements as I went along.

1st attempt

2nd attempt.

3rd attempt

All 3 original drawings.

Hi everybody.

My name is Nicolas Martinez, and I'm new to this blog. 

I've been doing a couple Preston Blair lessons by myself and posting them on Deviantart. Just recently, Hammerson told me about this blog, and suggest that I join. Sure enough, I contacted David Omar, and here I am.

Here are my most recent lessons, along with a select bunch of older ones. I think a few look okay, but may need some work.
