Been working till late the past week so thought I'd do a big dump at the end of the week.
Portrait class from Tues was horrendus for me, think I was just having a bad night for drawing. I remember the pose being up and tiloted to the left. Spent ages on the basic construction which I thought was correct but when It came to adding the features my proportions seemed to be out of place. I remember the distance between the eyebrows to nose being slightly smaller than the distance between nose and chin which I drew but then it appeared to be wrong when adding the features?
Anyway I left early since I was getting nowhere and did some studies of the head lay-in from roughly the same angle and set up my simple asaro head in the same pose to study from to try and help me figure it out.
Apart from that been doinfg the same stuff as the past 2 weeks, head lay-ins from the Hogarth book aswell as eye studies from the same book and some of Jeff's.
Life drawing from Thursday night. Much prefer this class to my usual Monday one. The timed poses seemed to be more consistent whereas the Monday class the times can change from week to week sometimes e.g. 2 5mins and 2 10mins 1 week but the next could be 1 10min and 1 15min and 1 20min pose followed by the long pose as usual. Might re-work my scheduele and switch to the Thursday class.
Some notes from my life drawings is that I need to vary my line thickness since all my hardlines seem to be the same.
Some Reilly abstraction studies from Jeff's drawings and 1 which I did myself tracing over the ref. No idea what happened in the back pose drawing. The length of the figure is correct but my measurements are all over the place (yikes). Sruggled on my own tracing. I believe I got the measurement of the head wrong which is what messed up the rest of my proportions.
Lastly spent the whole day yesterday working on leg construction (didn't do anuy painting since the weather wasn't so good). Have some proprtional errors that I ned to work on, particualry the foreshortened sitting leg pose which I messed up completely.
