Stuff from the last few days. Finished the Reilly front view page, had a trickier time with this view because of the amount of abstraction lines, noticed that I drew some heads too wide drew the eyes too close on some etc. Think the final attempt was my best crack at it so now I just need to draw them more over the next few months years etc until it all sinks in.
Life drawing for this week as usual, still need to work on my 10-15 min drawings, think I spend too long on the gesture which results in the pose feeling quite stiff so I will have to practice them at home. Lastly some sketches from my sketchbook, took the front view of the reilly head and worked on it abit.
Apart from that I've gone through weeks 3 and 4 of the Schoolism course and made notes and I started to work on the illustration tonight just doing some thumbnail sketches. Doing the thumbnail sketches is something I always struggle with, I'll have the idea in my head but still can't quite translate what I'm thinking onto paper. Think I might look at some composition rules/guidelines since my compositions suck.
My plan for the illustration was to have finished rough comps and take one to a more finished state by the end of this week, take ref photos, take the comp to a finished state and have some colour comps by the end of next week, and paint the whole thing the week after.
