Apologies for not posting in so long, didn't realize it had been over a month since my last update (I'll try and not go so long again). I started a new job (non art related) which is quite physically demanding so it just took me abit to get use to it. I also started attending life drawing again last week since I can now afford it but I was so rusty at it since I hadn't been in so long, but I will start posting those starting next week (it wasn't on this week because of Easter), I'd post my drawings from last week but they are so abysmal and I know for a fact that I can do so much better.
I've still been doing work since my last update. I finally finished the leg anatomy studies from Goldfinger's book and afterwards I kinda felt worn out from just focusing on anatomy lately that I decided to take a break from it and work on something else. From my life drawing class last week I felt my values were really bad so I decided to sped a couple of hours (I think somewhere between 2-3 hours) on a single still life drawing to help improve my values which I had slot of fun doing, I'm gonna start and make it apart of my regular routine.
It had been quite awhile since I last did some perspective practice so I thought I would go back to it and see what I can remember (apologies for the bad photo quality, all the pencil lines were drawn lightly) so I just did some cubes in 1-point and 2-point and just messing around with the vp. And over the last few days it wasn't intentional but I developed a simple scene that I drew of cubes in 2-point into a city scene which I kinda got engrossed in haha and from that drawing I took some tracing paper and boxed some areas off, just messing around with composition. I want to work more on this scene more, not sure if I want to try and paint it or take it into photoshop but I want to add more to it, my original idea was to have a a gigantic person or thing in the scene but I dunno. If I knew i was going to develop this drawing I would have measured the buildings properly, for this one I just eyeballed the building sizes and windows from a rough estimate. Apologies for the long post but any crit welcome. :)
Some gestures from imagination.
