More Eisenberg by me, Paul

Great, Now I can post here so everyone could check and critic my stuff
So, I've been doing some copies from Harvey Eisenberg
This was my first try:

the propotions are off and the angle of the bricks too. I think this is an easy layout, but I had a very hard time with it!.
this was my second attempt:

This was very difficult. The proportions are off too but I think Jerry it's better. The other fella sucks
the blinds are in a different angle and there is less than in the original drawing
the part that I worked out better (I think...) was this strip that gathers the blinds. I've tried to keep the organic feel on the folds.

This was my third attempt:


I like the flow of the poses. I think I achieved something there.
The angles are wrong again, and I put the character too close.

Conclusion; Harvey Eisenberg is a badass

  1. Eisenberg is a total badass!

    Anyway, nice drawings. Your characters feel very whole flowing. As John has pointed out, your line quality is lovely.

    I had a really hard time with Tuffy in the picture with the window, too. That arm was hard to figure out. But his face looks very appealing!

  2. Nice studies! They look really controlled.
    Do you use vanishing points?

    Can't wait to try this one myself.

  3. Hi Mitch

    No, I don't use vanishing points

    I draw the things watching the spaces and proportions

    maybe I should use vanishing points
    Thanks!

  4. vanishing points are very usefull.. but it doesn't seens that Eisenberg used ether...

    I could not find his angles in my drawings..

    your line is very beautiful chileno... I want to see when you are going to practice with ink :)

    Eisenberg uses vanishing points.. but in his own special way.

  7. good

    your own critiques are right on

    you undid the perspective lines of the bricks in the top 2 drawings


    your perspective lines are correct in the rough, but in the second picture, when you drew the bricks over the guide lines, you undid the perspective


    good feeling in the forms and lines of the chracters

  8. the two eisenburg studies i did used vanishing points, one was 2 point and the other 3 point. It was kind of a pain since i had to work uncomfortably small. i just need to clear off my desk and get a longer straightedge.
