[Daily Doodle] Study - male torso, reaching up
Daily Doodle: This past week (through last Friday) has been complete and utter balls. I was expecting to do something messy and quick tonight and instead I kind of just... did this instead. For an hour. It was... weirdly calming. Kinda zen, I guess, just sinking into something that demanded attention but little else.
Anyway. Reffed, of course — like I could do this on my own. It's not done; I could have gone a lot further with photorealism and such and it dissolves inelegantly at the edges (arms, hips, neck) but... I got what I wanted out of it. Good practice, and a bit of calm and quiet. The model's musculature/shadows were even more asymmetrical than this (cause you know, people aren't perfectly symmetrical etc), but I fudged that a bit here, cause perfectly mimicking the imperfection of life tends to looks weird in art =|
Backdated 2 hours
Time: around an hour, I really didn't keep track, just kept going
