I was just wondering how long did it take you to do all these sketches.
ReplyDeleteHowever long the time, you master your art wonderfully!
The first with many figures, is from one, two, and five minute poses. The second are each ten minute poses. The third was twenty five minutes long.
DeleteThank you
Feels so much anxiety and finally peace in the last sketch...A skipetr/pole looks great in his arms...it's interesting to see him as royalty... :) also I was thinking about Andersen's "The Emperor's New Clothes"...
ReplyDeleteThere is a sense of sense of urgency in the first too, sketching to get as much down as possible in short durations of time. The pose for the last sketch was long enough to relax and do a little detailing.
DeleteI do like the concept of The Emperor’s New Clothes for these…
Bonjour cher Anthony,
ReplyDeleteDes croquis fantastiques où l'expression est toujours omniprésente... Bravo l'artiste !

Thank you
Deletesketches of P and his pole....the title along had me bursting out loud whether you meant to do that or not plus this action figure is totally awesome to be able to draw movement in any sketches is a wonder to me, you are wonderful Anthony, and never ever think otherwise
ReplyDeleteMaybe a stretch to come up with the title☺
DeleteThere does seem to be a sort of dance taking place in the first two.
Thank you
Wow...so different from the previous pole sketches, in which I kept "seeing" a gondola!
ReplyDeleteIn these...the first one portrays his thinking as a little chaotic: he is wondering what use to put the pole to. There are so many ideas floating around his mind.
In the second, it is narrowed down to two - he is weary and the pole makes an ideal staff to take his weight.
Or lifting it to shoulder height, in effect saying, "See how strong I am!"
In the third, the strong man has found his pose...wow...this is powerful!!
Brilliant, Anthony.:)
The uses were floating in my mind too☺ He uses the poles to help support some of his poses. There are ropes attached to the roof structure above, making the pole sort of like a swing..
DeleteThank you
Love the bottom one. Just a bit of color gives it more dimension.
ReplyDeleteThank you
