Drawings For Ngaire

[Ngaire Winwood]

Claudemir, your offer to email them is appreciated, I am afraid my old equipment still won't do them any justice but at least I can see enough detail to get techniques clearer.

I would also like to find copies of blocking in examples for paintings by any of the masters. I heard recently that there was a Great Draughtsman Series by Henry Bonnier on Rembrandt and others, I think it was Pall Mall Press. The book is out of print. If anyone has this book, I wonder if they could place a few of these onto this forum. Apparently they have their own masterful and unique qualities the same as drawing has.

I have a virtual book called " Creative Illustration" by Andrew Loomis, it contains a page about "blocking", but the size of the book is of about 30 megabytes, so if you want I can email you the specific page. Or somebody can help me to add a link in my website so anyone will be able to download it, I have also the titles Figure Drawing, Fun with a Pencil and Drawing Heads and Hands, all of them by Andrew Loomis, I don

Thanks again Cynthia and all on this great forum.

Here is my first ever study, I have chosen Lola by Valerie Meek as my first that was posted here on this thread by Scott.

White paper is too stark to work these exercises with so from now on I will use tinted paper. This exercise was challenging to say the least but I hope I am nearly there with it. Any suggestions?

Sorry, about the tones but my scanner did not do justice to her cheek bone. In my original you can't see that darker tone.

Here is Lola again, I try to re-scan it a little clearer.

Thanks George,

I burned a CD and sent it to Ngaire. But if anyone desires, I've got all of Loomis' books in my pc.
