Figure Drawing with Tom Mahoney & Bonus Museum Sketches

So Tom Mahoney, of Disney Concept Art and CalArts fame, taught some weekend figure drawing classes I attended a month or so ago. Mahoney does not like students to focus on realism when drawing, and encourages us to use markers or ink and contour techniques. In this way he hopes to cause students to discover new ways and styles of interpreting the human form--especially as monsters. All of these poses were around 7 minutes.

 

BONUS MUSEUM SKETCHES?!

Snow White Theme Caricature

Here’s a caricature I made of one of my close friends for her 18th birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HALEY! Two of her favorite things are Disney princesses and squirrels—which hopefully explains this picture. (If not, that’s Squirrel!Doc.) I REALLY hope she likes it. Here are some of my steps along the way to creating this.

EDIT: Ohthankgoodness, she loved it. But why is it so blurry on this site?
